(TOP 5 TODAY, MOFOS!) Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Albums Poll Results)

LOL @ EZ Snappin

Wish we could remove FOB 2008 and bump #51 up to its rightful place in the 2009 poll. :'(

#51 was robbed!

What a disaster for pedobear.

Okay, I get that it was a late-2008 release, but Folie a Deux probably shouldn't have even been elligible. 3/4 of its singles came out in 2008, and the fourth one was negligible. Did Fall Out Boy really make some kind of an impact in 2009?

They broke up -- that's a huge fucking impact as far as my ears are concerned.

It's made an impact in 2010; I had no idea pedobear had hit the mainstream.

"The Sweetest Thing," "My Maudlin Career," "Honey in the Sun" ≥ "French Navy"

...knew some sort of impact joke was coming

listening to 'folie a deux' today -- definitely in my top 10 of the decade, my favorite rock record since the los campesinos! debut

xposts Pedobear - the only thing about Fall Out Boy that can make me raise a chuckle.... I haven't and will never listen to that album, but will someone who has explain to me why it received even a single vote?

da game been good to me

the Fall Out Boy had the second highest average vote, the album with the highest average won't be for a while but it was just a bit higher than FOB

that ugk album is dope but i didn't vote for it

fall out boy is just a bridge too far for this guy

Is that pedobear on the Fall Out Boy cover?

― EZ Snappin,

is the funniest thing I've read on ILX this year.

UGK = Yesssssss!!

modern rock is like the last bastion of generally popular genre that indie crowds just won't fuck with -- of course tons of it is shit, esp on an album level, but it means that people don't realize it when a class like 'fad' goes right under their noses

i wonder who else voted for it

i know ship did, maybe tim if he voted, i guess johnny crunch, morty i assume, and me -- that leaves 2 or 3 others

Was bummed about not ranking my songs ballot, but not ranking my albums ballot has been awesome in re pushing Camera Obscura and UGK onto the list.

If I remembered to vote I would have had FOB on there. I didn't tho.

to alleviate the mystery, i was not one of them xxpost

dan says john voted for iwrestledabearonce

Fall Out Boy split release with iwrestledapedobearonce out march 2011

grrrrrr

thats the sound awesome bands related to bears make

working on a theory here that any bear related bands (name or album coverwise) suck. fall out boy, iwrestledabearonce, grizzly bear. hmmmm

Bear Naked Ladies

You more a goat or wolves guy john?

both have their problems, but more wolves i think

Bear in Heaven.

also i just remembered art bears so my theory falls apart under scrutiny

Less earnest metal handwringing, more lolling at the low positioning of that Girls album please.

John you will love this

ILXchan

not low enough. never low enough. xxpost

what would a year end poll be without metal handwringing

i voted for f.a.d., too - it was second on my list! (but i can't remember if they were ranked or unranked) i am really stoked that it went through! i am going to listen to it in celebration!

xpoooooosts

it was #2 on mine too, ranked

Jesus, I hate to ask what your #1s were...

Did you accidentally rank your lists in reverse order?

it's a fucking awesome album, dude, all big tunes and snotty stupid-clever lyrics: i can't help it if you don't want to hear it.

yeah sorry, go listen to stars of the lid or w/e

I've heard it and, well...better to say nothing than to say etc.

I should've voted for Stars of the Lid, actually! I think that came out in 2008 also.

i would like to hear your analysis of folie a deux
