ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

the synth stabs in "Gangnam Style" are p close to "Pump Up the Jam" too

also i think Blawan spelled backwards is "Nawktotronalb"

you know in 1993 or whatever i (probably) very earnestly thought while listening to that song that all music would sound like that in the future -- who knew i would be right?

"You Want Me" is such a fucking JAM!

Today I'm going apeshite for Matte Black Truck.

Matte Black Truck is one of the main reasons I owe this thread a drink.

I'm not sure I know of many regular-length pop songs that work in three very specific movements in the same way as MBT, but it's the chorus that gets me the most - there's something so satisfying and crunchy about the way those syllables work together "in my matte black truck/in my matte black truck", makes me feel like I'm eating a Yorkie bar. I like Tim F's reading about the ambiguity of the chorus. I kind of hear it as a state of passive/aggressive denial: "If you leave NBD, I'm just going to play some killer jams in my Jeep (so loud you won't hear me weep)".

Why is it only a minute and a half long though? what is WRONG WITH PEOPELEELEEELE?!!!~

"Viral"

the video isn't new, it predated the full song's release

v annoying that she never released a full version (same with "go to work")

I've been grooving to Spotify radio based off of this playlist and a song just popped up that made me go "this sounds a little like a dude singing a Cher Lloyd song, what is this?"

It was "Looks Like Sex" by Mike Posner.

NNNNNNNGH

I failed to vote in this one but if I had Springsteen would have been my #1 and would have made the top 10. Timeless tune.

Truly incredible that Gangnam Style placed higher than Oblivion on this

V good year for music in my opinion

i like almost every song on this list. incredible year.

I'm a pretty big pulp fan but I have zero recollection of that single

I can't believe people still think about Inspector Norse

Kendrick Lamar - Cartoons & Cereal - more like thindick lamar “too bad my best song isn’t on my boring album”

this is technically a positive review

I like Todd Terje but Inspector Norse is far from his best tune.

xpost

I never think about inspector norse but i still like it whenever it pops up on shuffle every once in a while. pew... pew... pew... pew pew

I miss 2012 so much.

Inspector Norse is amazing btw.

still mad adorn lost

♡

Consolation in that I think "Adorn" still sounds like one of the five best songs of the decade
