ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2019

me

I would have put Caligula in my top 5. At least it placed! What an incredible record from start to finish.

voted pretty high for the tinashe album. totally unexpected i thought she was done

save room for use is song and vid were my favorite https://youtu.be/wtmwVGoxrws

tinashe!!!!

I did not vote at all — would’ve loved to have given Solange and Erika de Casier a boost

So, who's missed out on Top 5 immortality?
Gotta go offline now, but I've put my guess of the order of the Top 6 in a sealed envelope and I'll tell you tomorrow if I was right :)

before ldr places i wanted to say that jack antonoff's best work of the year is on lover

you're almost certainly right

really impressed that y'all voted slipknot this high

octo octa
crj
ldr
big thief
purple mountains
weyes blood

is that 6-1 or 1-6 lol

6-1 but i'm pretty sure i'm wrong about most of those placements

well i sincerely hope you're right haha

Wow didn't expect the Caretaker to crack the top 6!

PUP will win

unfortunately after spending time with their newest i have come to the conclusion that i love... maybe three pup songs total

starting to get worried about my #1

made peace yesterday that my #1 isn't placing and before the poll that my #2 wouldn't either but PUP not placing (my #6) does hurt a little

brad i dont think our beloved copeland album is gonna make it

unfortunately after spending time with their newest i have come to the conclusion that i love... maybe three pup songs total

Seeing them live may change that perspective! Nevertheless, that is fair.

glass beach still a big win for emo itp

part of the problem is that my roommate has taken to playing "see you at your funeral" on repeat, and i do not like that song

If I had remembered to vote for it, African Giant would have been in the top ten. I'll see myself out now.

PUP not placing (my #6) does hurt a little

It hurt me too. Perhaps I was overly optimistic. V. surprised my #7 likely won't place though! Will reveal what it is when it's clear it definitely won't as there is the outsidest chance

I voted for CRJ and OO and left the others to fend for themselves.

What the heck is "PUP"?

Inspired by its placement to put on the These New Puritans album again and remembered that my other reference point for it is Massive Attack’s 100th Window.

a canadian punk band xp

Will be surprised if Nick Cave misses the 77

if i'm basing it on my own ballot then either crj, octo octa, or big thief won. tbh i think it's big thief's or purple mountains' game to lose

nick cave definitely got 78'd, have you seen the complaining in that thread

xp Nick Cave is totally gonna get shut out

I think it will be big thief at 1 and purple mountains at 2. Knocked out that Octo Octa appears to have made it this high.

My guess is Purple Mountains win it, but I am so unconnected to the hivemind I'm probably wrong.

Think Big Thief will take it. Though I never know how many people vote for CRJ or Lana for that matter.

I would have thought:
3 Big Thief
2 LDR
1 Purple Mountains

Didn't Big Thief already place at #9?

shut it all down

What wow how did we all miss that :p
