ILM POLLS THE 20TH CENTURY'S BEST TRACKS ››› YOUR RESULTS THREAD ‹‹‹

Cant believe witchita lineman polled so high. That song is so utterly boring and horrible.

Those are my feelings on "Marquee Moon".

Can't believe ILM pollers had shit taste.

Can't believe other human beings liked different things to me.

haha

I like the Witchita Lineman cover I posted
I'll check my e-mail _Rudipherous_

I never understood why people get so excited about funnel cake.

Oh so this is a live Fairouz version on the grooveshark mix. I had the original studio/soundtrack version in mind, but this sounds good. Good song, great singer. Fairly safe in that case.

Captain Lorax you also forgot Darcy Clay - Jesus I was Evil off that list.

"Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart" seems familiar but in a really remote way. I don't know if I've heard it before or not.

1. No Smokey Robinson? You are all mad.
2. Really?

You know, there really are a lot of good songs on this list. Thank you.

The noms list is also very handy.
I thank you also.

CaptainLorax, check your email again. I accidentally sent you the wrong Fairouz song. Sorry to be a pain in the ass.

That cardiacs song seemed interesting. And then he started singing. Dear god.

Dear Trayce,

Welcome to almost my verbatim experience with The Cardiacs.

xoxoxo, DJP

ditto that DJP :p

o consensus

love you lj, but dear god and beyond

if u give up after 20 seconds it doesn't count btw

whole thing or stfu

Got to about 3:16 when the guitar noodling started. Sorry.

Listening to The Captain's grooveshark playlist right now (btw thank you). And you know what? 'Moon In June' is good. But does it really need to be 19 mins long? I think I may be missing the point however.

it tttttotally does need to be 19 minutes long! how else are you gonna have a sublime jazz-rock wig-out followed by an escapist psych-drone finale hewn from the very cosmos

Great work guys. Happier with the results of this poll than most others, Still a few wtf placings (Love Action at 970, Do You Believe In Magic 1283, What Become of the Brokenhearted at 1451) but overall pretty good.

Incidentally if the Sandy Denny/Fairport versions of Who Knows Where The Time Goes are combined that gets 1200 points and slides in at 108.

Go for a 50's poll and a 1900-1949 poll separately otherwise the first half of the century will be stiffed by the rock 'n' roll juggernaut.

Did the Spotify playlist for the Top 125 get updated?

Indeed it did: http://bit.ly/fdTfYf

I had no idea "Uptown Top Ranking" was so popular and ting

A bit disappointed by "Don't You Want Me"'s showing. I thought there were lots of people into that song here. Not that #285 is bad in a poll of more than 2000, but I seriously expected it to be in the Top 100.

X-Post: "Uptown Top Ranking" is an awesome and catchy reggae tune, but ranking it as reggae's greatest moment may be a bit over the top.

gonna stick my neck out and guess that a lot of the "Uptown Top Ranking" votes weren't from hardcore Reggae heads. which is irrelevant cos it's a total classic.

Excellent work dudes. I have never really got the Beach Boys but yay for I Feel Love and Ghost Town placing so high.

Also has anyone been updating a Spotify playlist for all this?

See about 10 posts up.

Geir OTM!!!!!!!

Add best reggae song to the polls list.

would vote in a reggae poll

Oh, it seems I gave my top marks to the winning song. Truly, I am Mister Consensus.

Wow. kind of surprised at Crimson and Clover not being in the top 650!

I would nominate tracks and vote pure quality in a reggae poll. The best would be to extend it to dancehall and dub.

Would be into a reggae poll

Actually, is there a thread for awesome reggae youtubes somewhere? Really enjoyed watching videos of 'Double Barrel' and 'Poison Flour' and 'Jungle Lion' and whatnot for this poll.

awesome reggae youtubes

I guess, if "Ghost Town" counts as reggae, "Uptown Top Ranking" isn't the highest ranking reggae entry here.

yeah, but they're sort of on the fringe, no?

just wait till alex in nyc finds out there's no killing joke

Ah, but there is.

Also, um, not a lot of women there eh?

well none of you fuckers also put points towards my riot grrl #1

has anyone done a spotify playlist of the 1voters and top 125?

Top 125 is here: http://bit.ly/fdTfYf

I'll do the 1-votes if there's an appetite for it?

chhers!

Putting the 1-voters together anyway, though there are substantial gaps cos of tracks not being on Spotify. Here is what's available anyway: http://bit.ly/hivelX (though it is a work in progress).

Btw. Any poll that is supposed to include pre-rock standards and does not include this one is completely without any sort of credibility:

scotstvo, I don't know how Spotify works, but if the Umm Kulthum song is missing and it can be uploaded, I can supply it. But maybe it doesn't work that way.
