ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

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?

2 On to come, but yeah

xxxxxetcpost: Oh, ok. I was kinda hoping it was an elaborate set-up for a disparaging remark. I don't even know the song, but at some point I would hear it, and think 'oh THAT's what he meant' And then my mood would be ruined for the rest of the day...

yeah quan's verse really ties it together, very crucial

twigs and tinashe still to come and they'll both do very well in the album's poll i'd bet

but yeah

hey-are those keyboards on Blank Space a bit of a Missy Elliott/Peter Piper homage?

i have just realised that yet again ILM continues to snub ariana grande :(

FKA Twigrocks #1?

i voted for 3 ariana grande tracks :(

this is only beginning

Other ILM staples missing - mid-tier song propelled ridiculously high by virtue of a great remix.

(I mean I'd like to think the DJ Q remix might tip Tinashe over into the #1 spot but I'm guessing I'm the only person who voted for it)

You guys didn't made Fancy #1 did you mothereffers?

this is the part when we break free

maybe "love me harder" is the surprise top 4 song no one sees coming
