I believe "Ain't it Fun" got relatively high on other lists in 2014, when it actually became more of a hit, as opposed to the 2013 when the album was released. ILM just happened to be ahead of the curve on that one.

I Still Prefer Still Into You but Ain't it Fun has its own kind of energy that explodes in the right setting
― abcfsk, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:26 (one year ago) link
wow surprised as Ain't It Fun never seemed as popular as Still Into You in all lists at the time. Loved the former on first listen while the latter always left me cold.

Funny, I'm the opposite. They're a bit the same song tbh, so go figure.

Do we prefer the radio mix of "Ain't It Fun"?

God damn, I really should have voted.
I'm definitely feeling very 'blah' about the tracks in here but I shouldn't complain because I didn't participate. But it does feel all kind of samey. I think I worked out why I'm against artist caps for year-end polls but would be for it here, and that's because EoY I want to be a fully accurate portrayal of what people listened to, whereas in this one I'd like more of a "this is cool stuff that happened within the decade" overview.
― emil.y, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:33 (one year ago) link
Ain't It Fun is one of the songs that made Paramore become one of my favourite bands. We even named our daughter Hayley last year due to how obsessed we were with those last two albums.
Surprised that Venice Bitch beat Video Games.
― kitchen person, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:33 (one year ago) link
I voted for Venice Bitch, not surprised to see it much higher than Video Games, it has more long term appeal

LOL
Didn't "Proof" also do very well (win?) the album poll of Paramore? Always been my favorite track but "Ain't It Fun" and "Still Into You" are better singles choices. The coda of "Ain't It Fun" is a true scream-it-from-the-car moment of joy.

Surely the greatest use of a Flexatone in music, this. I have one at home. I use it to annoy guests

No, I nominated two albums but then couldn't muster up the energy to participate any further! Just finding everything very difficult at the moment.

The recent peoples_pop poll recently made me vote for Accelerate but not this. Now you're saying people voted for this and not Accelerate? You cannot, cannot have one without the other! (I voted Delirious)
― imago, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:50 (one year ago) link
I voted for Delirious too, which is the standout track from this album for me. I wonder if it will also show up.

― imago, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:53 (one year ago) link
Would have voted Delirious, but in the end it felt too difficult picking between tracks on this album at all because they're all so good. Really feel like she is one of the most uniting forces across all ILM's taste.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:53 (one year ago) link
Did not vote for this as I voted for Delirious instead.
― MarkoP, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:54 (one year ago) link
"Venice Bitch" was my #1. Luckily everyone was too busy talking about Paramore to make fun of it.
― Chris L, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:54 (one year ago) link
Susanne - sensational album, song, voice, melody maker, producer
― abcfsk, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:55 (one year ago) link
Venice Bitch is too good to dismiss out of hand, it rewards a full listen-through. Not every LDR song you can say that about ;)
― imago, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:57 (one year ago) link
xpost Yeah, I'd agree with that tangenttangent. Susanne and KING are the main two from the last year I can think of who unite almost everyone on here.
― kitchen person, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:57 (one year ago) link
Yes, KING as well - absolutely. Little controversy or dissent accompanying their placements in polls!
― tangenttangent, Friday, 19 August 2022 13:59 (one year ago) link
Add in Kendrick and that's an ideal 1-2-3 for next week

I wouldn't rule out D'Angelo though. Maybe Destroyer too.

― Bait Kush (Eric H.), Friday, 19 August 2022 14:02 (one year ago) link
I was so tempted to go with Tin Man which became my favourite Future Islands song, but this was just such a big part of my decade. The reaction it got when we saw them live was really special.
― kitchen person, Friday, 19 August 2022 14:03 (one year ago) link
yeah this was the indie rock song of the decade, really the last one to make a real cultural impact (indie with emphasis on the “rock” anyway)
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Friday, 19 August 2022 14:04 (one year ago) link
I voted for this. Did not expect it to actually place though.

This song has been both ruined and enhanced for me after seeing Samuel perform it in some weird hybrid between cookie monster / death metal vocalist on letterman.
