Even as a Slowdive fan, I feel like 13 is a little too hight for this. That middle 8th is something else, tho!

*high*
I hadn't heard the remix before and it's incredible
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:56 (six years ago) link
The original version is one of my least favourite songs on the surprisingly great album. The remix is indeed really awesome.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:58 (six years ago) link
Slowdive, huh? Weird.
― emil.y, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:59 (six years ago) link
Think I voted for Star Roving over this. Haven't heard the remix but will seek out
― groovypanda, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:59 (six years ago) link
I'm not particularly into that Kesha song but got weirdly emotional when it kicked up for the last third.

Are these the first two guitar rock songs in the 77 btw? They might be!

um REMIX hello, why aren't ppl talking about the remix artist
― brimstead, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:01 (six years ago) link
there was alvvays and algiers
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
also, Wolf Alice
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
i'm assuming the slowdive is a house remix?
― brimstead, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
And whatever the hell Kevin Shields was doing on that Eno platter.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
the remix is here
it is heaps better than the original imo and more alligned with where slowdive were going on pygmalion
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link
you can argue about whether Isbell or Nilufer Yanya are "rock" or if the St. Vincent song has "guitars"
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link
Hardly.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link
I quite like the remix! NickB is right I think

slowdive song is all about the avalon emerson remix. again

too low
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:06 (six years ago) link
the Bicep album is cool but here's a perfect example of an artist that has no business taking up multiple slots imho
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:06 (six years ago) link
Fabulous hair on those dudes.

TOO LOW
My #1 btw. Simple yet so effective.

disagreed if only bc "glue" and "aura" offer totally different experiences both of which are p awesome
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:07 (six years ago) link
catching up: kind of forgot how effervescent and sprightly the Kehlani is, though I did vote for the album
― rob, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:08 (six years ago) link
heard this earlier in the year and didn't care about it but now it seems really cool, will have to check out the album
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:10 (six years ago) link
gutted i missed bicep in december due to the rainbow shutting down
― nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:11 (six years ago) link
bicep another one that's elevated almost incalculably by the video
― #TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:12 (six years ago) link
The Slowdive song was underwhelming for me (imago basically OTM) but the remix is something else. The Alvvays song was better post-shoegaze/dream-pop/w/e imo, though the album made my teeth hurt a little.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link
OK, I just got weirdly emotional at the rave memories in the Bicep video so I'm obviously just having a very overemotional day. 'Aura' is still better (this is good too).
― emil.y, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link
yeah i prefer "aura" but i'm not mad at "glue" or anything, it does a lot with v little
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link
for all my small complaints this is easily my favorite 77 that I can recall
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link
remix of "sugar for the pill" is so, so, so wonderful upon revisit that now i wish i had voted for it even though it's sufficiently high
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:16 (six years ago) link
the video to this really is a great match to the music

I'm inclined to feel the same way. By some distance, too.
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:17 (six years ago) link
even if the #1 ends up a massive anticlimax (which is more likely than not tbh)
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:18 (six years ago) link
Yes (and yes)
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link
yeah it's been a really great list, looking forward to the top 10 being entirely kendrick and sza though! (actually not sure multiple tracks from either will place at this point)
hoping for akanamali as #1 though that's unlikely
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link
these is ballot polls
― #TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link
yeah I'm revising my original guess to only 1 sza track
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link
eh this song's pretty annoying tbh, if you ask me they should melt bicep down for glue
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:20 (six years ago) link
got 'em
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:20 (six years ago) link
here's hoping for some shockers :)
― nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link
"akanamali" getting this high is astonishing
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link
it's cool that 'hailing drums' made the ilx top 12
