ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2013

wow i totally forgot about that 05-09 poll or that i rolled out the albums

s/o to my "hoos gossage" display name tho

Yay! My #3 vote. Actually, when I listened to "Falling" again during the tracks rollout I wondered why I hadn't voted for it.

these threads are so much fun, thanks everyone

Yeh thanks to the pollposse, u r00l3d xox

Oh sh1t so that means we're nominating soon for a 2010-14 poll? *poll team faints*

Not a big fan but very happy to see Haim stop Daft Punk winning. Thanks pollrunners!

I founded that private school. All the boys have Koenig hair.

I hadn't even listened to HAIM but "Days Are Gone" was the one album I decided to give a chance based on the singles results (usually don't vote or pay much attention to the albums poll). I think it's pretty good so well done ILM, I guess.

wow, I like the Haim album quite a bit but never imagined they'd win it. Feel some relief that it wasn't Daft Punk even though I also like RAM well enough.

Yay, HAIM! Wasn't my #1 but sometimes I think it should have been (usually while listening to "If I Could Change Your Mind").

So where's the data, guys!?

let's not get it twisted, last train to paris is gonna be the album doing an erykah

Just a question for the ages: did anyone else besides me vote for the Sightings album? Even one person?

Yeah, the best thing about the Haim album is that EVERYTHING is a percussion instrument. xps

prolego otm

Thanks once again pollrunners. Happy enough with Haim at #1

RIP The Joy Formidable, I thought more people liked you

never thought the drums/rhythms of the Haim record were anything special, think of it more as a melody record

yay mazel tov haim!

data Driver, roll up the partition, please: ILM 2013 albums poll stats and ballots

this was fun, never got to keep up with the tracks one cos it fell on my works busiest work week but enjoyed reading that too.

oh thanks, that's a solid list of stuff!

so that's a staggering EIGHT rap albums in the top 100, huh.

good top 77, great top 100

thanks to everyone who voted and organised this!

RIP Moderat, I guess I'm the only one who really feels how wonderful a trance workout "Milk" is

Never knowingly heard Haim.

It's all over, now everybody gaan haim.

you didn't miss much, nick, they are ok but nothing special, really. i don't understand what the fuss is about really. another derivative, mainstream sounding pop band made of girls, so what?

those darn girls!

you see, THAT'S the sort of misogynist critique I wasn't making when I simply said they bored me :P

ty

I don't find any of the words in that description to be derisive, tbh.

Oh no, not "mainstream sounding."

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

VW had EIGHT so it's morally second.

I can't believe Juicy J didn't even make the top 100 and everyone voted Ka over Roc Marciano :(
