I expect "If I Had A Heart" over "Dry and Dusty", even though I would have voted for D&D

eh, not really, not unless you want all your bouncy aggro thrash music to be super tuneful too
I don't mind dudes shouting over my aggro musics, but the FOTL guy sort of sounds like a character (oh hai, is Jello Biafra for the '00s!).
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:10 (thirteen years ago) link
hah if i had even considered there being a chance of FOTL making the tracks list i would have ordered my ballot and put it at the top

so people voted for "If I Had A Heart" even though it wasn't on the list?

It might have been nominated and we missed adding it to the list, but it got no votes. xp
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link
i can see mclusky/FOTL dude's voice being an obstacle, but i love it. skinny, scrawny, angry nerd = a good foil for that kind of tough-guy rock.
― interstellar overdraft (contenderizer), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link
and yeah, the only reason i piled points on "dry and dusty" is cuz there was no "if i had a heart" to pile more points on. ;_;
― interstellar overdraft (contenderizer), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
xp Nope, just checked. "If I Had a Heart" wasn't nommed.

Sexyback was obviously played out at the time but it has aged pretty well. And LOL at JT's back tattoo.

v. surprised to see Future of the Left here, I thought they were only particularly liked by my srs ex-hardcore dudes and their ilk. Maybe that just means I know nothing about them.
haven't heard SexyBack for a couple of years probably, and yeah relistening it's sounding good.

ok, i actually was ok with it, but never in a million years would i have guessed that the Joy Orbison track was released in the last decade, let alone 2009

all those songs are good!

more or less
I think so too (minus Girls and Joy Orbison, perhaps).

Nice. Totally would have voted high for Roisin Murphy if "Sow Into You" had been an option, but she was high on my albums list.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Good list so far. I think I voted for "Fancy," but enjoy a ton of these other songs. Voted for other stuff by Ne-Yo, the Knife, LCD, Gaga, Fever Ray -- all of which I confidently expect will place a bit higher.

Love the Camera Obscura, Future of the Left, Washed Out, Girls tracks. I am a corny rockist asshole.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I like the Girls track a lot as well. I guess listening closely his voice is annoying, but it's a nice tune and the out of tune guitar sounds good.
― skip, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I like everything! I guess I am undiscerning. I'm most meh on Welcome to Jamrock, probably for the awful reason that I heard it eight million times playing FIFA 06 and now hearing it is just nothing but that game to me.

Love these polls precisely because if I hadn't read, but not voted in, the 2009 poll my actual ballot for this poll would have looked completely different. For instance I only heard/checked out 'Shine Blockas' and 'Fancy' 'cos of the 2009 poll, loved them and voted accordingly this time round. Of the 20 revealed so far I'm familiar with most solely because of the last poll. But I hadn't heard the Camera Obscura or the Jackie Chain both of which were pleasant surprises.
― Jorge Fucile Jerry (pandemic), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:59 (thirteen years ago) link
have never heard girls, and while i've heard the hold steady, i wouldn't know one song from another. based on listening to most of that joy orbison track, however, i'd be real surprised if either could outsuck it.

somehow i'm 14/20 for songs i really like => love, but...0/20 for songs i voted for (i was SURE i voted for "rollin"! but apparently not! obv several of those were b/c i voted for the albums)
the andreas saag house remix of "hyph mngo" is even better than the original, which i love, and which was one of the anthems of sónar this year - it's one of those trax which sounds incredible suddenly pealing out of a huge soundsystem, i never really got it until i heard it like that.
"sexyback" is a jam, def one of my favourites off the overrated fs/ls. "i'll let you whip me if i misbehave" - rrr come here justin~

If I hadn't heard "Fancy" for the first time a couple of days after I sent in my ballot, that would have placed even higher.
― elephant rob, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Good job so far people. Less Electrodribble than imagined though I'm sure there's more to come, you guitar-hating heathens.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Hyph Mngo is the first of mine to place. Love it. There's so much more to it than the 90s things it sounds like, but they're quite subtle things, nice instrumental backing flourishes and so forth. It's all about the breakdown anyway, that's the beautiful bit.
A little alarmed at seeing it so early though, it rules out about half my ballot in one go.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
okay, so i listened to the girls track a couple times, and it sounds exactly like i thought it would, based on what ppl have written. it's just lazy indie sugar pop w smarmy vocals. more cloying than JO, but more fun, too. if it weren't for the gross singer's gross affectations, i'd probably like it a lot.
