ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

Now rooting for an unlikely Akanamali or a rather more likely New Rules

last year's #9 (Lindstrøm's "Closing Shot") had 21 votes, inc one first place

my guess for numero uno is love galore

that jason isbell track was in my top 10, and the alvvays track in my top 20 iirc

yaeji in the bottom half

weird, i thought we accounted for all four Isbell votes earlier

Yeah...

*looks at spreadsheet*

Four votes, 1 first place

right let's start again

ive resubmitted my ballot

i never participate in these btw

*poll-runners all deescalate from simultaneous heart attacks*

08 PARAMORE "Hard Times" [370 points, 14 votes]
https://youtu.be/AEB6ibtdPZc

too low

my no. 3, my anthem for the entire year

obv i'm thrilled it's even this high

I totally called Bodak Yellow missing out on the top 10.

ayyyyyy

alfred it's time to deploy your taylor gifs

Love Galore is one of those tracks that always makes top 10s/20s but never ever tops a poll or a ballot (like cranes in the sky from last year), it ain't #1

Perfect song from my band of the year.

Yesssss paramore!

good song but i think i preferred it in the context of the album to on its own. pool was the real standout

gonna make you wonder why you even try

shouts out to the enormous synth/vocoder coda

yeh this and fake happy album highlights for me

big fan of the bridge

oh shit, another song i forgot to vote for. was pretty disappointed with the album tbh but never got sick of hearing this one

Wow I just realized Kendrick hasn't placed anywhere yet

a crappy cover of 'the blacker the berry' placed at #9 tbf ;)

I like this song, didn't actually realise it was Paramore. I remember when people were first saying that they'd gone pop I was really disappointed b/c it didn't feel like they'd gone *full pop*. This is full pop.

shouts out to the enormous synth/vocoder coda

That part still sounds like the ting-tings to me

I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
Shut up and let me go Not gonna get to rock bottom
Hey

this paramore track is a mess...i'm gonna listen again

Someone post Taylor gifs plz

my first impression of this was that it was good & the best direction for paramore, and i stick with that now

interesting you say you like it emil.y - i reckon there's a bit of the 1975's dna in there lol

2017 was the year I fell for Taylor York.

Someone post Taylor gifs plz

... huh?

I didn't vote for this but I should have. It's not quite as good as I thought it was at first, but it belongs.

the 1975's girls isnt very far removed from after laughter, same 80s pop + emo dna

xxp more than the 1975 anyhow

I ripped Paramore from the library last summer but forgot to ever listen to it! Right now it has me bongo-ing my cat.

(gently)

can't wait for the 1975 to dominate next year's poll lol

if they'd delivered on their promise of an EP or single before the end of 2017 they'd be showing up right about now

xxp more than the 1975 anyhow

i don't think so at all, "hard times" and 24k magic are drawing on distinctly different things (and, tbh, decades)

yeah idk what i was going for, what it really reminds me of is that foals album from a couple years back, the one with "My Number" on it

it's not even 7th best track on the album
