ILM Top 100 2005-2009: TRACKS

bit gutted that if I had voted, I Feel Space would have come in somewhere in the 70s.

why can't the animal collective and mgmt fans forget to vote

Whispers and Beautiful Life would have made it in as well had my computer been working.

Rej >>>> Mandarine Girl > In White Rooms >>>>>> Body Language

IOW, if you had to pick only one, then the right track made the top 100 and the others were deservedly left out.

t.A.T.u - All About Us 79 2 1

Wow, just two votes, a #1 and a #2 vote (mine).

Yeah lol, the other one would be mine. Would be pushed down if Ciara's "Like a Boy" had been nommed. Never quite "got" "Promise".

Thanks

oh rad :D you weren't just voting for the title either! yeah i've written about that song on ILX before - it's absolutely goddamn enormous - one of the most genuinely visceral things i've heard. there's a lot of great detail even within the primal thudding - the craft-within-brutality aesthetic makes for a really nicely rounded piece that requires 15 minutes to fully work you over. and yeah i can only imagine the sort of party where it'd be played

thx JF! Awesome, awesome work.

looking at this list, I'm most disappointed in how "Helena" placed

the good news is that "1 thing" is absolutely without a doubt the best song released in the last five years

love the moment abt 6 or 7 min deep when the massively blown-out rawk penice drops away to reveal the weird electro overtracings that'd been keeping pace the whole time, still slamming hard, but in a totally different way, crunchy digital noize chirping at the foundations and skittery dub echoes on the perimeter. Only then to drop the whole polluted mess down a slick lipped k-hole for a few seconds before blasting back zombie motorhead full frontal style. such a fucking BEAST of a thing. makes me dizzy with it.

YEAH! more like 7 and a half minutes in but this is what makes it for me. also AFTER the k-hole bit it brings BACK the slamming drums and the FIRST HALF of the rock noise, but keeps building tension by dropping the SECOND half and then gradually overlaying the (still k-holed) space created with madcap feedback squiggles - then after about 10 minutes it drops ALL the rock noise for four bars, during which time we've got nothing but muted thudding, THEN powers back full fucking steam ahead (about 10:15)

that bit where it's semi-ambient, semi-kickass is absolutely incredible, and then when it comes back in at 10:15 the SECOND half of the rock-phrase hitting is the slaying-est moment of the whole song.

I don't want to open the thread in its entirety so I'll just ask here: is there a spotify playlist of those tracks?

god damn. I've never heard Ciara - Oh until these poll results appeared. Can't stop playing this. I may well be over it by Sunday or something but it sounds so great tonight. Behind the times as ever (this charted in the UK in 2005 - really? Shame)

Jibe, I did one but I'm not at my computer right now - I'll post it later.

Ok thanks!

Long long delay but:

denizens of the funky house thread will be aware of this already, but the dj naughty remix of "love lockdown" is a must-hear - http://rapidshare.com/files/235235593/Kanye_West_-_Love_Lockdown__DJ_Naughty_Remix_.mp3

Lex, <3 you forever boo.

cant believe on a poll of 2005-2009 there isnt one single funky house song :(

Even if I had voted would it have made a difference? The uk funky thread has about 6 regular posters, but uk funky has produced about 600 genuinely great tracks...

where can i find a uk funky 'best of' mix

Good looking tracklist, though a bit on the conservative side.

Yeah I was going for something that would provide an overview for someone with virtually no knowledge of the genre.

I'd like to take back what I said about the Jackie Chain tune upthread. This has totally 180'd me.

:)

YA BOY ABOUT TO PEAK
I BEEN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN WE AINT SLEPT IN WEEKS.

Wow, so, lots for me to dig back through here! Def some unfamiliar tunes. Listened to the Amerie for the first time just now and I loved it - lots of nice hooky surprises along the way although the main vocal is a little...shrill? I feel like it'd grate if I listened to it a couple times in a row. But great track. Best in 5 years I dunno, but thanks for introducing me to it, ILX!

wait are you talking about '1 thing'?

I actually first heard "1 Thing" thanks to the ILM poll for whatever year it came out. (A toast to those of us who live under a rock.)

Yes, "1 Thing." I do live under the occasional rock though.

I remember WBLS playing "1 Thing" a lot early in 2005 .. I think it just barely made the cut for this list (which reminds me, "Since U Been Gone" was late '04 but did not catch on until '05.. It was performed at that same football game where Ashlee Simpson sang "La La" really poorly which was just after New Years '05.. However, it should still count for this list since the 2000-2004 poll was conducted in like August '04.)

Yeah, Since U Been Gone was from a 2004 album (like Hollaback Girl was too), but was a single in 2005. I remember that Orange Bowl performance. I'd kind of forgotten about Kelly Clarkson at that point, as it had been three years since she won American Idol, and I wasn't expecting anything new from her to be like that. It was a good night...for everyone except Ashlee Simpson and Bob Stoops.

45:33 - immense. Looks like I wrote lcd off too soon. The 45:33 thread is a lot of fun too.

Goddammit, I just because really disappointed that I didn't nominate "According to Plan" by I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness. How many other people would've voted that up? Just curious.

not really...it was the single that launched the album, which was released in late November 04 ("Breakaway" was kinda the first single but it'd been a soundtrack hit for several months at that point, so they just kinda named the album after it to ride its momentum). it was already in heavy rotation on pop radio and video channels by the end of the year, it just didn't make its big gradual crossover and chart peak until like March.

hey i thought u were an adamant 'b-b-but it crossed over the next year!!' dude about release dates

xp i like that song johnny but i don't know if i would have voted it

Wikipedia says December '04, RYM says February '05 re: Since U Been Gone. Either way, it would've fallen in the gap between the polls if not included here since the last one was held in fucking AUGUST of 2004.

I should've given more love to 'I'm A Flirt' - had it as my no. 32, which I now reckon is at least thirty places too low. Is there any song more fun to holler along to?

really there isn't
