Trust did speak to parts of the ILM massive; it came in at #78!

DIIV - Oshin
this album is super awesome
i get the sense a lot of more rock oriented ppl don't vote in this poll, at least i didn't

this is so sad but the flying lotus album not being on spotify means i only listened to it once

I think this probably had an impact on its standing. I didn't hear it until a few weeks ago because I got if for Christmas.
― Moodles, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:15 (eleven years ago) link
I still haven't heard the Flying Lotus for the same reason.

Before Spotify, we found ways. Some of us even left the house.

I guess I'm not that desperate to hear it either, otherwise I'd find a way round the inconvenience. There are other albums I'm more motivated to hear but if it had been on Spotify I would have checked it out.

i voted for Oshin!
also i just discovered the Graveyard record which i easily would have voted for if i had heard it, i think it was more than one voter out of the top 77 though.
― ciderpress, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:46 (eleven years ago) link
i voted for oshin too, that record really snuck up on me w/how good it is
― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 February 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
actually comparing the poll results to my ballot made me realize how ilm has kind of turned me from a rock-oriented person into a pop-oriented person, gonna try to reverse that a bit in 2013 since there's probably a ton of good rock music i'm missing out on

No Tomorrow by Chief Keef is fucking awesome, really getting into the album as well. I have got the Nicki album for my son's ipod (it was making me sad that he still listens to Lady Gaga) and decided to give it a blast earlier and I really love a lot of this as well. Sometimes its really cool to just flip a bit + check stuff out that you think you won't like and be totally startled by how fucking good it is.

Seriously. It was my #3. I think a lot of people get put off by the cover, which I find hilarious. The whole thing's great form start to finish. Sounds are reminiscent of Front 242, Anne Clark, Clan of Xymox all wrapped in catchy songs.
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 1 February 2013 22:41 (eleven years ago) link
I'm a listener more likely to be put off by vocal mannerisms than anything else. Dylan is excruciating. And it kept me from appreciating Trust.

elections polls have conseqeuences!

and they have consequences too
another record that didn't make this list but that is excellent and should've: Lotus Plaza's "Spooky Action at a Distance"

^true
also no gbv nominated was a silly oversight (of mine and others)

No one could agree on which of the three 2012 albums was the best, so they'd have been split right out of the top 77.

wow. had never heard the FLA. verrry entertaining.

GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR Allelujah! (A splendid release, their most accessible for sure, and that's not a bad thing.)11. SWANS The Seer (Just arrived in the mail today!)10. GOAT World Music (Really amazing album, worth the hype!)05. GRIMES Visions (A really enjoyed this album and it's not the kind of stuff I usually listen to.)
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Saturday, 2 February 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
Things I would like to own:
68. METZ Metz53. JAPANDROIDS Celebration Rock52. CONVERGE All We Love We Leave Behind38. THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Transcendental Youth
The Converge is mainly because of all the critical acclaim here on ILM (winner of the metal poll; placed in this one) because I have always found the group to be good but not amazeballs... The other ones I don't know as well.

OK, this Miguel record is rather good. A bit goth too, innit? I've filed the CD next to Mezzanine and the Portishead s/t.
