ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

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

oh foals, ok xp

yeah i'm hearing it vc

oh huh, what's going to miss out then if this placed after all?

one of the weakest tracks on the album

idk i think "humble" is a really striking single

it's a really good single, but this

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

feels true.

I agree, happy DNA topped it though

Yeah, I like Humble a lot. Voted DAMN in albums, but no K-Dot on my tracks ballot.

lmao the youtube comments

This song makes me wanna buy a bank just to rob it

My Kendrick vote went to DUCKWORTH, which was my #2

'this song makes me wanna...' appears to have been the 2016 meme du jour

*2017

Humble rules. Sit down.

My vote (and it was like my #7 or something) was for LUST.

My mind's gone completely blank and I can't remember what's left to place other than DNA.

i voted for FEEL. and DNA. and XXX.

forgot to nominate YAH., might have thrown a vote there too.

I voted for Loyalty

if the ballot were bigger i would've voted for "loyalty"

hell yeah lbi

there's 7 tracks left that seem like sure places to me but idk what'll miss out, maybe Boys or Bad Liar?

Humble is another song that I only really fell for when I watched the video. That seemed to happen a lot last year.

Wow this year’s top 20 is a bit bonkers... love it.

Listening to Humble now - it's still really good of course. Kendrick's pickings are rich

06 BIG SHAQ "Man's Not Hot." [482 points, 15 votes]

a little surprised that didnt show up anywhere

man's not got...the hang of image posting

there's 7 tracks left that seem like sure places to me but idk what'll miss out

Y'all could've fixed this conundrum by not voting for Migos, but too late.

wow

That shitpost up there actually made me realize there's not much grime in this poll

Cut to the Feeling
Boys

SZA?

I've been a Paramore fan since the 2nd album - love Hard Times but the chorus of Rose Colored Boy is my favorite thing on the album. Reminds me of the giddiness that I got the first time I heard the choruses of "That's What You Get" and "Playing God".

1. it looks the same if you're logged out or on mobile
2. i didn't make an entire gag photoshop, you caught me in my laziness

my best guess, in this order:

DNA
Love Galore
New Rules
Bad Liar
Cut to the Feeling

06 SUN EL-MUSICIAN ft. SAMTHING SOWETO "Akanamali" [463 points, 16 votes, 3 first place votes]
https://youtu.be/f4ApmPc4g48

yay

obviously i'm super happy to see this pop up so high; my #1 song

https://youtu.be/eKxFS8L6AlQ going to implore everyone to listen to the full version instead of the video edit, since that lacks the organ solo

what a great song, real shame it isn't #1

hell yes, such a beautiful song!

I totally forgot to vote for this on any of the three passes I made at my tracks ballot. I could've bumped it up, but not much.
