Top 120 Songs Under 120 Seconds (ILM Poll #95)

The hardcore classics songbook getting roundly trounced by the limp dick indie rock hall of fame is some shameful shit

pavement took advantage of vote uniting, not too many songs by them were nominated.

xp you forgot to indict the reheated boomer chestnuts :)

still, 10/10 playlist, will listen again

I briefly considered 'Serpentine Pad" but never even imagined "Zurich" as a contender

Wow, I didn’t know Game of Pricks was so popular! I heard it somewhere once and voted for it without knowing GNV at all. It’s such a cute song!

Also, hooray for Rudimentary Peni placing in the sun-poll! <3

I voted for tons of indie rock/pop but would rather have classics than a lot of the high placing indie. Not that I care too much

Also voted Pixies. I remember thinking this was the heaviest thing imaginable when I was 15.

Aha, my Number Two. Almost certain my Number One is yet to come.

Gotta say, while I am having no direct voting luck in this top 10, tt is kind of crushing it. Here's to thoroughly independent ballots!

I do not get hardcore punk at all, just sounds flat and belligerent to me, limp dick indie still moderately better imo.

I think I’ve got two more to place as well!

really? this isn't a hardcore vs limp dick indie rock poll.

What does Pulp have to do with this.

Hardcore is a form where working in a small space is part of the genre’s structure and intent!

Yes I know that but this is a sub 2 minutes poll

yeah I don't think we're polling hardest dick

Also voted Pixies. I remember thinking this was the heaviest thing imaginable when I was 15.

same!! i was 13 but it sounded like the heaviest thing i had ever heard and i loved it!!

It's pretty heavy! Iirc at least two members of my family separately told me to turn it off just a couple of days ago.

I'm frankly amazed at great screamers who don't lose their voice. How?!

Maybe they build up a tolerance like callouses for playing guitar...

Oh come on

I'd written this off at this stage. Well well.

looool

Now *there* is some ur-limp dick indie!

lol whiney

i'm sorry

Fantastic song, was getting worried it wouldn't show up!

I wanted to vote for game of pricks cos its a pretty perfect song but I only like the tigerbomb version with the proper production and intro, which is over 2 mins.

Can #3 just be Young Marble Giants instead?

and that is the only smiths song I like lol

IIRC there were 65 ballots in this poll. No number 1 votes for this. Whine somewhere else.

does...does this mean only one Ramones song?

well if we don't get YMG and Wire I'm gonna cry

also lol at the Smiths placing right after whiney's comment

Omg I might have voted for the top three this has never happened.

I misread Whiney when he was talking about classics. I thought I was agreeing to rather having more oldies (lol)

YMG and Wire also means no MBV?

Yeah, the oldies are boring picks but pretty unimpeachable

A full third of voters voted that!

look who's showed up

Have classes and a commute. Just finished!!

Holy shit, you have!!!

The oldies as opposed to songs from 1984 and 1992.

Beatlesband shut out is… interesting.

ITT: Tell The Beatles to Fuck Off

otm

Voting Beatles is like voting water "best drink."

KM, we are ready!
