(4/30)

Okay, so I'm going to put together a track list. I don't want to look like a dick but given the immense amount of hassle that organizing this is, I don't want it to be collaborative as well meaning folks will throw tracks in places where I don't expect them to be and it makes it difficult to organize properly. As such, and with no rancor toward poll overlords, I am starting a fresh, non collaborative playlist that I'll be maintaining... though likely with some lag between posting on this thread and inclusion.

That'll be here: ILM 2015 Best of the Year Track Nominations Spotify Playlist

Subscribe if you'd like but hey, if you want to copy and paste my work onto the thread opening playlist, feel free!

... that said, please do let me know if I'm listing your song wrong or if you think there's a track available on Spotify in the US that I haven't included.

Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money (Joey LaBeija Remix)

― boring alt-reality reverend (The Reverend), Thursday

Did this ever reappear anywhere after vanishing from Soundcloud?

not as far as I know :(

Future - Fuck Up Some Commas (how is this not on the list already? did it get placement last year?)

i don't think it was on anyone's year-end lists last year, it was well into 2015 before it blew up, so fair game.

NOTE TO SELF: Tracks spreadsheet is updated (without duplicates) as of this point.

it's just kinda surprising to me that future's biggest hit is the eighth song nominated by him and that there's not much enthusiasm for it. it's likely a top ten song for me; there was no point at which i heard it this year that I didn't find some small joy in it.

TRACKS

MIA - Borders
The Mary Onettes - Ruins
Dua Lipa - Be The One
Grace Mitchell - Jitter
Tayá - Got Me Wondering
Annie - Cara Mia
Zhala - Holy Bubbles
Giorgio Moroder ft. Sia- Déjà Vu

8/30

(psst, forks...Holly Herndon's "Chorus" was booted because it placed in the top 77 last year.)

TRACKS

Years & Years - Shine

9/30

Shine is already there, so you can have one back.

it's just kinda surprising to me that future's biggest hit is the eighth song nominated by him and that there's not much enthusiasm for it. it's likely a top ten song for me; there was no point at which i heard it this year that I didn't find some small joy in it.

yeah i was def surprised not to see this nominated yet when i did mine, easily the future song i encountered in the wild the most (and if my personal fav is "i serve the base" then this was by far the best of his actual hits)

also surprised to see "borders" only nominated now, i think it's a pretty amazing song and even the duhhhh lyrics work in its favour when you hear it

remixes policy: these will all get folded into each other when tallying up votes, right? but does a specific remix need to be nominated in order to vote for it (eg vybz kartel's "dancehall" has been nominated but not the remix with konshens, spice and gaza tussan)

remixes policy: these will all get folded into each other when tallying up votes, right? but does a specific remix need to be nominated in order to vote for it

Yes and yes.

ALBUMS

Of Montreal - Aureate Gloom

TRACKS

Of Montreal - Empyrean Abbattoir
Aphex Twin - diskhat1

8/30

Oh shit you like that oM song too!

Might not have to nominate at this rate

TRACKS

Dawn Richard - Blow
Dawn Richard - Billie Jean
Dawn Richard - Adderall / Sold (Outerlude)

22/30

I think of the above, with Swim Free, as one extended track but get that no one else does

wait forks weren't you just cautioning against vote-splitting

(if i was to nominate a dawn track it'd prob be "james dean" at this point bc it's not on the album)

Been really digging the of Montreal album lately. Good album to listen to while walking outside in the cold rain, which is something that I've had to do a bit in the last couple of days.

xxxp

xp, i wasn't so much cautioning as mentioning the artists with the most nominations. i've gone on record (and if not am here) as not really caring too much about placement results, I end up listening to all the goddamn songs regardless!

this is going to take some time to get up to date, but here is the provisional Spotify Album playlist:
