ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2013

Also, MBV is as Dan says pop music delivered with a stratospheric kick and a sense of sonic theatre <3

i wish someone had told my sky ferreria was on spotify now, this album is great

So did anyone else actually vote for the Suede record?

Sky Ferreira at #5 is so awesome

― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican)

Yes. Isn't it still to come?

Am so old now that 50 doesn't even seem that old, and some of our party crew in Brighton, UK are approaching that and still party hardy.

DP would be a dull no.1, it's surely the Haims.

MBV was okay but am shocked it's so high. It sounds dated in places for sure, although whether that matters is up to you.

I'm almost fifty and fifty seems old.

Haim will win - didn't vote for it and it just washes over me, but I can sorta hear why other ppl might rate it highly.

Voted for DP but haven't listened to it in months. The CD is still boxed up since I moved house in November. I thought about rummaging for it to give it another listen shortly after Christmas but couldn't be arsed in the end.

tl;dr version: somebody else wz robbed

HAIM appealed to a broad cross-section here.

Yes. Isn't it still to come?

it surprised me that ILX was like the only place that didn't rate "The Wire" as the favorite track, i can't even remember how the one that placed above it goes

Fuck off, no way!

56 votes, damn

Wow, it wasn't even close. So shocked Daft Punk did that well.

well phew

<3

WHOOP WHOOP

Ten good albums in the top 10. Nice work, guys.

I am kinda glad that the poptimists still secretly rule ILM.

Yessssssss.

beysus with the moral NINE-first-places victory and baduesque redemption to come :)

That is one of the best top 20s I've seen on here. So many great albums!

Well done everyone.

The Wire was 2012 though xp

in the end a band that could've been created in a lab to appeal to ilx specifically crushing the competition is not that surprising

Don't really care for either.

Big ups J0rdan and Seandalai for doing the poll. Thanks guys!! Been a blast.

every time I think I'm cooling on Haim, I remember Haim Bassface and I am delighted all over again

didn't vote for either of these but the Haim album was floating on the bottom of my ballot for a while

Yeah pretty great top 10, only albums I didn't vote for in it were Kanye (which I do like) and DP

Yes! Haim! So happy!

I dug the VW album (and voted for it) BUT didn't want to see it place super high. Why? Because it placed super high everywhere else on Earth

THIS IS ILM SNITCHES WE DO SHIT DIFFERENTLY

HAIM really was the ILM album of the year

I'm neither here nor there on Haim but bassface is all-time

do we start a new thread of album ballots? yeah right?

:D

a win for bassface is a win for ilm

THIS IS ILM SNITCHES WE DO SHIT DIFFERENTLY

more accurate would be "THIS IS ILM SNITCHES WE DO LIKE ONE SURPRISING THING AND THEN RESHUFFLE THE WIDER CONSENSUS"

Big thanks to J0rdan and Seandalai for putting this together. It's been a lot of fun.

What do I have to look forward to now?

days are gone days are gone HAH

polls are gone
poll are gone
HA
