ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

what is the non-zeitgeist

ILM

Taylor Swift obviously.

QT is so not zeitgeist!

god, the amount of people who took umbrage at iggy not being able to rap and then let this bullshit through

he's not really rapping though

surprised but happy dark horse made it, i too ended up getting stockholm syndrome after a few months of commuting with only the radio to listen to. also normally i'm annoyed when star fm edits the raps out of pop songs but here it was a welcome relief.

i actually enjoyed t-swift's singles this year so now i'm wondering if its the result of years of ilm poll brainwashing

makonnen dgaf

^gets it

qt is rockcrit publication zeitgeist altho it's starting to look like ppl are no longer taking p4k's lead on that one thank goodness

iggy is dece at rapping shes just hella fake, makonnen is out there doing his thing

yes that comparison makes little sense

I wish lex could smell makonnen's gas

wasn't the problem w/iggy more the idea that she's a tad minstrely?

xps right...

actual 2 sentences that appear alongside each other in iLOVEMAKONNEN's wiki:

At the end of 2009, the singer was released from house arrest and put on probation for four years after accidentally shooting and killing a friend.[4] Next he enrolled in a cosmetology school, and became a part of a group called Phantom Posse.

damn

worst Tuesday ever

the other thing about "tuesday" that i really fucking hate is that his grating squeaks may make it sound vaguely "unique" if not in a remotely good way it's just the 9843932923230339838th downer party song of the past few years and it was a terrible basis for a trend in the first place and now it's just oh my godddddd just get over yourselves and have a good time, fuck your feelings

save us gr80

(as long as it's not "fancy")

the song doesn't actually function this way, though, if you've actually been out somewhere it's playing

Oh fuck I hadn't considered Igloo Australia might place in the poll.

This is the first time I've heard Hey QT but isn't this basically just Aqua with a thin veneer of arty bullshit over the top? And considerably worse choruses. I don't think I would care two ways if there weren't so many obvious chinstrokers jumping on the bandwagon. (And I'm not including people who are loving it for Nyan Cat reasons).

This is a virtually worthless selection of records today, only D'Angelo, Twigs and Jessie Ware are worth the time of day. Actually the Haim is good as well but that's ancient and doesn't really belong in this poll.

I voted for Tough Love rather than Champagne Kisses but another listen to the latter suggests I might have made an error.

oh fuck off as if that makes a difference

Considering running a sweepstakes on what number we get to before Saer likes a record, btw.

surprised you don't like YRN matt

pink molly > pina colada, but Rupert Holmes >>> Makonnen Sheran.

To quote DJ Sprinkles: "Suffering is here inside the club with us."

I think my favorite new discovery in this rollout so far has been saer

haha

oh fuck off as if that makes a difference

it completely does

^^

lol i am still amused that ppl pretend the drake and original versions are so vastly different or different in quality

otm, also drake does a great job on his version

you can't bemoan that a song is a downer party jam that doesn't allow people to have a good time when it functions in completely the opposite way

get over yourselves and have a good time -> but people do have a good time to it! -> that's irrelevant is a perfect ilm exchange

otm x infinity best dance music is all heartbreakers otherwise its just LMFAO

feeling these tuesday club vibes

saer posts kewl vibey trax on the old dance music thread i for one am appreciative

i mean i understand what lex is saying of course but he's wrong in an empirical sense

it doesn't allow ME to have a good time

i think the diff between downer party rap songs and melancholy techno/house or whatever is the ego of the former, like i'm expected to care about makonnen feeling sad

No partying in the party fountain.

he doesn't feel sad though?

Working Monday night, on the corner flipping hard
Made at least three thousand, on the Boulevard
I've been working graveyard, shifts every other weekend
Ain't got no fucking time to party on the weekend
I've been flipping in the house, making jugs on the highway
I've been riding out of state, making money like my way
I don't think that I should dance, I'm just gon have another drink
I'm doing my stance, you know my Molly pink
I've got the loudest of the loud, you know my gas stink
My P.O. think I'm in the house, don't give a damn about what she think

God bless you

Last time I heard "Tuesday" in a club a white girl near me very loudly protested that it was Thursday. Otoh, so glad this placed on a Tuesday.

hey it's my no. 1!

sorry everyone

the sad thing is a red herring imo, people misread "we can't stop" in the same way but i think it's non-aggressive, blithe defiance

same goes for "no type"

rita ora didn't deserve a song this good

being in the club is fun but sometimes it feels like you're clocking time waiting for something to happen

doing it on a tuesday, not much happening
