ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

Mmmm color me surprised I don't hate this Swift joint one minute in.

Thought Style was a shoe in for Top 5

jessie ware - "tough love" is a really good song

yeah i def slept on jessie ware this year. love both songs that placed

Ok, finished listening. I liked the backing track. It was really good, sort of italo-disco in the verses then it goes to Gap in the chorus, you can't have it all. I can't stand the lyrics and there's something really annoying about her vocalization for me, she's too squeaky or something. I think I agree with the sentiment that whatever she's going for Sofi de la Torre and Tove Lo made it better this year.

"Style" is definitely my favorite song from the album proper. Happy that it's the next single. With bonus tracks included, though, it has stiff competition from "New Romantics."

i have no idea how anyone misheard the line as "starbucks lovers" which wouldn't even have made grammatical sense

i had not even once considered that the lyric WASN'T starbucks lovers, i thought that was hilarious & kind of awesome and now i'm disappointed. what is it, starstruck?

list of ex

this reminds me, has the Italo poll happened? I know very little about italo and want to

Got a long wrist and sub-woofers

i forgot Vic Mensa even existed like 6 months ago. i love Chance The Rapper but he dances right on the edge of something i'd have no interest in, and on the other side of that edge is Vic Mensa.

xp It's rolling in February.

thanks JF

What's up with the lyrics of these 4 Taylor Swift singles? I remember many of her fans praised her first albums for the lyrics but I'm not seeing anything interesting in here. Did she stopped caring about lyrics at some point or has her writing always been this shit?

She stopped caring.

No it's about the blank space at the top of a Starbucks cup - she's a barista in the song

5 RICH GANG "Lifestyle" Ft. Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan [673 points, 19 votes, 4 first place votes]
http://youtu.be/nGt_JGHYEO4

ft. Young Thug

to be real: too low

i dont get the 'rather be' love. in my head it's lumped in with that robin schulz prayer in C remix and tbqh i think i prefer the noodly bouncy dumbness of the latter over the former.

style feels so unrecognizable from other t-swift that it loses me. i forget what i'm listening to until she starts chewing the scenery in the last minute.

(extremely quan voice) too low

should be #1

no. 1 in my heart

lifestyle is killer, my #1, happy its at least top5

best song of the year

(en quan voce)

That's the fifth song with Young Thug on it, right? New record?

2014 = triumphant return to groups (or pseudo-groups) of rappers with actual chemistry after the long MMG winter

Frederik B, did you vote for "Bad Dream" by Nick Thorburn?

Uhm, no, why?

lifestyle is great

charli xcx is good! she's got charisma! tayor swift sounds like the when you go to work and you think there's coffee in the thing and you pour it but then you have a sip and you realize it's leftover from yesterday

where is saer and does he think 'lifestyle' is crying ?

"Lifestyle"'s improved with radio play but I dislike the whine.

we posted a lot of shit just to get to Lifestyle

Xp but style is nothing like t swift before

xxxp Just curious.

Declaring from now until the next song drops a NO LEX ZONE, pls no lex hatin' on Lifestyle tnx

it's so lush and relaxed

just listening to it has radically improved my day

i like "Lifestyle" a lot but the Quan verse is my favorite part and i generally prefer "About The Money" and "Stoner" as far as defining Thugger moments of 2014

Lifestyle is the track where Young Thug and Rich Home Quan really make sense to me, I haven't heard anything else in this vein that's got anywhere near it.

Also if it's finishing below No Flex Zone then No Flex Zone is too high.

I prefered Brand New Choppa off this lp

wait lex doesn't like "lifestyle"???? weird

diced with 'no lex zone' as my dn earlier, decided it was too spiteful

xp
no reason to not like Quan just as much, though right? dude is (has?) really coming into his own

Also there's a shitload of rap in this list but with the exception of D'Angelo and a couple of songs near the bottom of this list, the R&B vote appears to have totally collapsed this year.

Oh god, Future Islands are totally going to win this aren't they?
