ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

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

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

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

46 RITA ORA "I Will Never Let You Down" [292 points, 10 votes, 1 first place vote]

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

I don't know what this is but I can tell by the image I'm going to hate it. Does this sounds like Gwen Stefani 2.0?

Sometimes one of my cats starts bullying another cat so I put it on top of a bookshelf to calm it down for a bit

who is rita ora is a question a lot of people have been asking this year and the answer is nobody knows

I sing a modified version of Tuesday to it

I don't like this as much as Radioactive from a couple years ago, but since it didn't place I will gladly settle for this.

Cats going up / on the bookshelf / I put my cat on the shelf and she's.....unhappy

mystified that anyone found any fucks to give about this song. it's just...there

calvin harris really is a terrible producer, like substantially worse than any other EDM pop guy

otm

good song

It's really hard to come up with a good last word so I'm open to suggestions

There are ppl who care about Rita Ora?

I just like Rita Ora because she's a goofball.

i don't care about rita ora but i love this song idk

the verses sound like it might be on the verge of some kind of charming carly rae jepsen thing but they never get there and the chorus is just a blarey void

love this.

i find it v impressive how in the uk it almost feels like she's on some beyoncé level where she doesn't have to be release any actual music to be culturally omnipresent. now she's going on the voice so this will be even more the case. she truly has the greatest pr team in music right now.

the switch remix is also incredible but no one voted for that

the chorus is a total crj pink synth crystal palace

pop really showing what it's capable of after qt's placement

it really shocks me that "champagne kisses" has not been made a single yet. like what are they THINKING

― lex pretend

She recently confirmed it is the next single and she's shot the video. Not sure how well it will do a lot as You and I failed to chart at all.

Tim F dropping the ball massively by equating QT with Rebecca Black back there. World of difference in composition style + skill. Clearly shook ;)

Fair point, I shouldn't smear Rebacca like that.

Also yay for "I Will Never Let You Down".

i like that johnny fever cares about rita ora

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

lol

there's this great dissonance going on in my head with these super catchy songs playing while everyone bitches and moans.
I <3 ILM.

Love the Rita Ora song. It must suck that she can no longer put it on her album along with all all the other Calvin Harris songs she had after she cheated on him. Her album was supposed to be out last summer but he took all his songs back after he found out.

Her first album was one of my favorites of 2012 for reasons I still don't fully understand, but I've kept the fandom alive.

this is the thing ppl complain about re: drake but the flip of it is you never really care about the sentiment of a techno track. rap has way more scope for feelings/personality than techno in general, its kinda hard to gaf about any sentiment in techno because it's always kinda vaguely melancholy broody vibe, same way if u listen to enough of it you don't hear punk music as angry it just becomes pro forma

beg to differ
