ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

Really? Thought Style will end up highests of Swift songs, but not so sure now. I gave most of my Swift points to Clean tbh, which is without a chance of placing.

Xxp

i don't think phophorescent had one place?

the Phosphorescent one

Wrong year. You mean Phantogram?

Phosphorescent? Lol

I gave most of my Swift points to "I Wish You Would", but I strongly doubt that will place.

phosphorescent is the "song for zula" guy/band/whatever

In a just world that should really place though, MarkoP!

But yeah, it won't.

Looking forward to seeing saer's ballot

^^ otm. Though I doubt he handed one in.

(Assumes he's a he)

saer's ballot:

1. you suck
2. RADIOHEAD
3. lol

Isn't it about time for alex in mainhattan to come in and tell us how all this music stinks, but not in the delightful way that sear has done it?

IMO the wrong Phantogram song was nominated; I'm much more of a "Howling At The Moon" fan but bowed to the gods of no-vote-splitting this year

Oh wow I forgot all about Hideaway. Yeah that def belongs in the predix.

Just getting back to the thread - Babylon System placed!

Any requests for novelty statistics tomorrow? I'm finishing off the code now...

This isn't code-related, but you should publicly share the names of people who voted for All About That Bass or Rude. j/k

I voted for the former. Wish I had made it my #1

man doxxing voters of 'rude' why you gotta be so rude

i wldve vote for rude just as a laff cause i find that song funny

nominations chart
whos noms got the most pts

that'd basically be dominated by all the people who nommed low hanging fruit as soon as the noms thread opened.

Also, I didn't keep any track of who nominated what.

Is there a way of knowing the voters we have the most and the least in common based on ballot similarities?

this 'rude' song is the worst thing i've ever heard in my whole life and if it gets even close to the top 77 i'm never taking any of you seriously ever again.

so is it too late for tove lo (my #1) to place? :(

Are you telling us you don't think Rude has the best guitar solo of the earñy 21st century, dog latin?

which tove lo did you vote for? I like "Habits" but always thought of it as a 2013 thing

fair enough - year of impact for me i guess did it place last year?

What might be interesting - well, not really that interesting, but, you know - is seeing which track that eventually made the 77 was the last to be posted in the nominations thread.

low hanging fruit chart is a great name

xxp: nah - 260th apparently

a feb countdown for 154 - 78

saer's ballot:
1. you suck
2. RADIOHEAD
3. lol
― deliberately clunky, needlessly arty, (contenderizer),

This is all kinds of wrong.

lol finishing below you suck is ridic

xp nice to know who callously skims the EOY threads vs who dutifully reads every single post

If there was one tune I voted for that saer voted for I'd say it was this

sorry last post seemed a bit ungrateful
terrific work all involved
tremendous fun :)

obvious post is obvious

nm that's not minimal i thought he was romanian or something

kewl track

phantogram will always remind me of warm boozy butterfly-stomach makeouts bc this summer was the one time in my life when i was going on lots of 1st/2nd/3rd dates with lots of different women and every single one of them was obsessed with this band

i aint got no type/ phantogram girls is the only kind i like

lol, i will always love phantogram because i was listening to "turn it off" a lot in summer 2010 when i first started dating my gf and i can't listen to them without getting prousty flashbacks to driving to her house

i was listening to other shit too but their aesthetic just hooks onto memories i guess

39 D'ANGELO AND THE VANGUARD "Prayer" - i feel self-conscious about voting for this but it really is great. lovely but incredibly tense. i end up folding it into my own life too readily though

22 YOUNG THUG "Danny Glover" - such a great song. my coworker once asked me if this song was about 'the black guy from community'. tags include: teal windbreakers, the raincoats cover of 'lola', woodford manhattans, le samouraï, the part of dead wrong where biggie says 'i dont wanna rape ya/i just the paper', ryan mcginley

There's a column for your most similar voter. Least similar would be "most people" given that there would be zero overlap with a lot of voters.

What might be interesting - well, not really that interesting, but, you know - is seeing which track that eventually made the 77 was the last to be posted in the nominations thread.

Yeah I thought about doing something like this to check whether there's an advantage in early nomination (you'd have to control for other effects to be meaningful but what the hell). I haven't cross-referenced tracks with their nomination dates though.

Awaiting the grueling top 20. Guessing at least 17 of these are still left to place:

0 to 100/The Catch Up, 2 On, Blank Space, Can't Do Without You, Chandelier, Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck), Digital Witness, Fancy, Hideaway, I, Johnny and Mary, Lifestyle, Move That Dope, Never Catch Me, Queen, Rather Be, Seasons (Waiting on You), Turn Down For What, Turtles All the Way Down, Two Weeks
