ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

move to strike haim from the record

didn't think anyone would remember that "if i could change your mind" was a single last year so i didn't vote for it. would've though. incredible song

like i can understand voting for a 2013 album track that became a huge hit in 2014 because a surge in popularity does mean a song takes on a new life of sorts. i don't feel like this one did

― lex pretend,

that's how I see it.

*reads reactions to Haim placing in 2014* Damn... looks like Haim... is not going to change anyone's mind

when all the other music has been exterminated i will come to love them

The video was really cool. Maybe that had an impact? I didn't vote for it but I love the song and I'm happy to see it place.

also i honestly thought it placed in 2013 a la "ain't it fun"

"Ain't It Fun" did actually become a hit, unlike "If I Could Change Your Mind."

fun thread today

(and I expect it to place at some point)

sorry Haim...your day's gone by

should we move on here?

It's their second biggest hit in the UK. After The Wire they rereleased Forever which had no impact at all (Missed the top 75) but then If I Could Change Your mind made the top 30. Not a massive hit obviously but there was some impact in 2014.

Ain't It Fun placed last year.

(and I expect it to place at some point)

Ironically, it's ineligible.

Nicki Minaj was more listenable than the other two of hers. Haim was horrible, made me think I was back at work, cant remember what the other ones were but I dont remember liking them. Been a lot of competition for the worst record so far, probably either tuneyards or royksopp

keep it rolling, gr80 B)

save us, gr80

What even do you like, saer?

if this is going to be ilm predictable now, at least save us with some javiera mena

come back nyan cat :(

Haim was horrible, made me think I was back at work,

art director for Fleetwood Mac in '87

this is such a good burn of this song (which i love)

haim back in the studio now btw. so conceivably they could get something out in time to place next year too.

The Haim of trap.

Haha dying at this. They're both family groups too!

This was my #2 and was gonna be my #1 for large portions of this year. Young Thug dominates the track obviously but Quavo's "Y-R-N/ I'm in love with Benjamin Frank-a-lin" is my favorite line. Whoever it was on twitter who said they needed a whole album of Migos and Young Thug going off over old exotica records OTM. Speaking of which, has anybody figured out what that sample is?

YRN is great. The production always makes me think of like 80s game show themes for some reason

"YRN" feels like an accidental miracle to me

its p left field

word xp

ugh, more indie.

a whole album of Migos and Young Thug going off over old exotica record

OMG YES

I also love Thugger's line about riding in a fender bender

this is so bizarre but kind of great? hadn't heard it before

feel like i've missed a lot of great young thug tracks due to my lack of willingness to engage w/ the sheer volume of material out there

Love that Franklin line Rev called out too. It's so emphasized it always tricks me into picturing actual Ben Franklin instead of money

yeah i spent a lot of time imagining being in love with the ben franklin and it was v funny

i mean ben franklin was famously charming

This is pretty fun, tbh.

Huh, I wasn't expecting to enjoy Against Me! this much. They're making me think a little of some 80s indie stuff; Husker Du?

fun fact: i played ben franklin in my 4th grade class' production of "Frankly Franklin"

wow star of the show
