Best album from the ILM 2010s decade album poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

wow can't believe i was the only hop along vote! anyway picking that one because it was far and away the best indie rock record of the decade

I like this idea, could we do it for the tracks poll?

my 2 and 3 are here but not my 1

I'm surprised I'm not in this poll - my #2 was Kuedo's Severant, and one other voter put that on their ballot. Bless you, other voter.

If I had remembered to vote, would Gigi Masin be in this list?

I way prefer T,IAY to Shaking The Habitual fwiw. Voting Oviri, ofc

Voted for SubRosa but also a fan of Oviri, Garten der Unbewusstheit and Tomorrow, in a Year. Probably more albums I love here than in the actual list.

I'd be interested how many of you know more than a few of these. Recognize many of the names but think I've only heard a couple. Will dabble before voting.

Hour Logic (my #2) has been off Spotify for years now, reasons unclear as it was on it for its first few years since release. It's not provocative like Quarantine, nor as curiously desolate as much of her mid-10s techno work, just ambient techno at its quixotic best - the title track a Detroit homage (or at least comes off as) so deep layered, warm and fluid without sounding as tho straight out of the 90s itself.

For the record Blake Mills album appears in some places as Break Mirrors but in others (including Spotify) as s/t

Voted for Twin Shadow. He fell off pretty hard, but that debut album holds up.

I had Talk to the Sea in my top 10

I second the motion to do this for the tracks poll, not least because my own number 1 would qualify

^ Here you go:

Best track from the ILM 2010s decade TRACK poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

Damien Jurado - The Horizon Just Laughed (2nd)
Hop Along - Painted Shut (3rd)

would have voted for both of these had i participated. been listening to the damien jurado a lot lately so going with that

Sun Araw

Autre ne Veut was one of mine. For a while it was my album of the decade. It's still one of the most fun albums I know. I love the way the first absurdly big chorus arrives, like, twenty seconds into the album. It does not waste time.

painted shut >>>>>>

Nag! x3 thanks for putting up the tracks poll, I usually just do an albums version of this.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

voted for Sun Araw

Hour Logic is pretty great too

re: Sun Araw, I voted for Icon Give Thank, but in the 2010s On Duty/Boat Trip, On Patrol, Ancient Romans, and Belomanciewere also all great I thought

Voted for Twin Shadow. He fell off pretty hard, but that debut album holds up.

Same. I still love that first album so much.

My 2&3 are in here. Voted Corrupted which is like galaxies colliding. Slowly.

Can't wait for the results in this poll where, once again, I will be the lone voter for my favorite album of the decade.

looks like you weren't the only one!

Oops, forgot to throw mine (Frida Hyvönen) a vote. Feels like an album ILM could be into! It was huge for me but seems to have barely existed in the wider world. I'm still not sure why she completely stopped getting coverage in the US after Silence is Wild (a situation that continues to wreak havoc: during the poll I stumbled upon her new one from last year).

I am glad I have another ty segall fan in here with me!

This is a mighty achievement.
