7. Knife
6. Kanye
5. Daft
4. Paramore
3. Haim
2. VW
1. Beyonce

i think the main thing about chance is how well he's able to mine the guilelessness of a pharcyde or an ahmad without even approaching being cloying or corny. album def would've been in my top 5

Given the slant of this poll so far and the ridiculous anticipation poll, there's no way MBV isn't cracking the top three.

xp Oh I didn't even know that. What's [googles quickly] 10 Day like?

Honestly, I only gave it a distracted listen once. Definitely not as fully formed.

I hate crowded beaches, I hate the sound of fireworks
And I ponder what’s worse between knowing it’s over and dying first

Oh man, that is such sublime writing.

it's cool that of the ten left that nearly any order is plausible

also maybe "i wish" or "summertime in the lbc," it's really amazing he's not from chicago and not cali

y'all are gonna be shocked when Floorplan crashes in at #7

I've grinned like a madman and cried so much to Acid Rap it's not even funny.

Yeah, he definitely feels much more indebted to the West Coast wing of backpacker rap (not that everything you mention in those posts is backpack) than the NYC variety.

10. Kanye
9. Beyonce
8. Avril Lavigne
7. The National
6. Momus
5. One Direction
4. Matthew Shipp
3. Daft Punk
2. Vampire Weekend
1. Avicii

Oh wait, I guess I'm not supposed to do this. Ignore pls.

Ever since I first heard I Seen a Man Die by Scarface I've been a sucker for hip hop that's tear-jerking without being corny and it's hard to find

Pharcyde is a good comparison but he still does enough to plant his sound in Chicago.

DL, you should try out some Kevin Gates

So are final 10 coming today or tomorrow?

today but he's taking a piss test iirc

autre ne veut getting 78'd is surprising to me but i always feel like my gauge is off on which albs and how much ppl are into them

gotta ensure jordans not juicing for this rollout

10. mbv
9. kanye
8. sky
7. kacey
6. knife
5. haim
4. paramore
3. beyoncé
2. vw
1. dp

the longest pee.

THE KNIFE WILL WIN!

good luck usa

Lex, there's no way Daft Punk will be number one. I know that thread was crazy busy most of the year but so many people on there were really disappointed with the album. Beyonce has this.

Top 5 to be Haim, Paramore, Beyonce, Vampire Weekend and Daft Punk. Not sue which order but expect one of the last 2 to win it.

i hope you're right, she's the only one in the (definite) top 5 i care about

xp

xp Will do. Thanks Spottie.

A third of the new albums I bought this year have 'placed'!

(ie Matmos)

I'd be basically okay with anything winning except Yeezus. RAM would be kind of lame even if I do like that album.

But it's defenitely Bey.

J0rdan, leave your toilet alone.

Man, just some of the asides on the Chance album totally get to me: "I miss my diagonal grilled cheeses", "I used to tell hoes I was dark light or off-white, but I'd fight if a nigga said that I talk white", "But if you touch my brother all that anti-violent shit goes out the window along with you and the rest of your team"

Yeezus winning would be very dull.

with some of these results I want to give YOU guys a drug test!!!!!!

I voted Yeezus #2, but I'd have put Beyonce above it if it had had more time to sink its more subtle parts into me. Rooting for Bey.

I definitely wasn't paying enough attention cause I thought Rev was anti-Yeezus

i didn't know rev was a yeezus fan either!

Wow, OK, so I haven't missed the top 10 yet?

I'm going to have the miss the rest of the rollout. J0rdan will take over the ceremonial tasks of kicking off the stats/ballots thread and linking to divers spreadsheets.

Have fun!

not a yeezus fan at all. maybe my least fav of his

Who cares what the Top 10 is going to be? The poll result were made redundant, IMO, with the appearance of both Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire, before The 1975 nailed the coffin shut. It's a given that Vampire Weekend are going to place, which sucks colossal donkey dick. ILX clearly didn't have the same 2013 as I did, that's for sure.

chillllll

lol

Gonna interpret that as a joke post...otherwise ???

Lol I prob loathe all the albums you do but this has been a great rollout bro

i can't believe you assholes have different tastes in music from me!

hahahahahaahahahahaha

Hoping it's a joke because it's pretty comical to be angry about two mainstream indie-rock albums placing at #61 and #45 in a poll otherwise virtually devoid of mainstream indie-rock. What'll it be in the end? Five out of 77? Burn this place to the ground!
