ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

did mark e smith fucking die for this

my little brother, whos two songs on his phone that he listens to include jason derulo fight for you, told me this wasn't very good so i haven't checked it yet haha

holy fuck nooooooo

nine of you need to own up so we can FP without fuss, otherwise it's show trials, informants, dirty shit. nobody wants that

i assumed this was going to be rubbish, but am listening to it now and fuuuuck, they've really surpassed themselves this time ;_;

I mean this isn't even close to the worst thing on that album but still gtfo with that

hahaha really

this was ok especially in comparison to most of the album but what's it doing so high

also if that placed i really doubt there's room for any more surprises

There's one song where I saw it on the nominations list and went 'Oh right, I actually really liked that back then...' which I can imagine enough other voters to feel that way about that it should make it right about now and if it does you'll all go insane :)
Fingers crossed

Ta-daa

even as someone with a decent number of AF tracks on their phone I'm mad about this placement lol

props Fred, you were right.

more like "Nothing Forever"

I agree w/ imago, spare us the effort, The Cursed Nine, and show your coward faces

one already has

goddamn it they are such insipid pretentious fucks

19 ED SHEERAN "Shape Of You" [297 points, 8 votes, 1 first place vote]

ok nice try

A year later I still don't like this song, but Sheeran can write a hook.

I don't mind Sheeran generally but that is not the one, ugh

Out of respect for Johnny Fever I Must. Not. Throw. Fall. Embeds. In. Thread.

xp oh ffs

I love you JF

hahahaha

The Francis Bebey sample on this is so clunkily used and a really shabby way to treat a wonderful record. I mean, I basically like the Arcade Fire but they're well into their pointless mid-career drift by now.

Can't believe it took just one denial for me to swallow the #FakeNews

haha

well played, I've been made a fool of and it's not even 9am local time

Don't know which of those is the least credible joke post

The Fool of You

i weep for ilm ;_;

The Arcade Fire one was pretty credible in fairness, lamer records than that have done well here.

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Remember when I used to follow you home from school babe?
Before I got picked up for paedophelia
Who makes the nazis-ah

robin thicke made top 20 iirc xps

yeah arcade fire was just believable enough, well played

lol

Without further ado...

20 KEHLANI "Undercover" [296 points, 10 votes]
https://youtu.be/rBrmg0BBHI4

Hell yeah. I'd have liked it even higher but I'll take it. earworm of the year

Fantastic song

thank the lord for that but i am never forgiving you for making me listen to that arcade fire abomination

too low!

i had already mapped out the top 20 so i knew u were fuckin with me

I feel like such a credulous moron about the fact that if someone tells me they're not lying, even on THE INTERNET, I am naturally inclined to believe them

One way or another
I'mma love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it"
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "Fuck it"

the bit where she sings one way or another slays me every time

tbf "Everything Now" is the only Arcade Fire song I've ever liked

Hahahahaha. I totally believed Arcade Fire, tbh, as other people have said, ilx has voted for worse. The 1975 didn't have anything out this year, did they?

the two basically-opposite "Undercover"s being only 12 pts apart is quite nice

if Arcade Fire had shown up at 50 or something I wouldn't have been surprised at all

couldn't really pick a highlight from the Kehlani album but Undercover is great

just noticed that bob marley gets a writing credit on undercover - anyone know which bit is his?

One way or another

courtesy of The Fader:

On “Undercover” — probably the most fun song on the album — Kehlani pulls from Akon’s 2006 megahit “Don’t Matter,” which itself takes a part of its crucial melody from Bob Marley’s 1979 song “Zimbabwe.” (Marley and Akon both received songwriter credits on the track.)

ah ok, don't think i know 'zimbabwe' tbh
