ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

Midnight is my first vote to place. I was excited about the album based on the first two or three singles, but I found it a slog. Probably if I were to make the effort I'd find more tracks there that I like.

If I had voted for any JW it would have been "Thinking About You" but maybe expectations were just too high.

I voted for Your Domino over this.

same, your domino is a jam.

Our next track is the one that was oh so close to being 78'ed before it was (unfortunately?) rescued by one last vote at the buzzer...

oh boy

lmao

Ewww

lol

Huh. Expected some TS tracks to make it, not necessarily that one.

"look what you made me do" getting 78'd would've been hilarious. i guess this is funny too

"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" (Ooh, look what you made me do)
"Why?" (Look what you made me do)
"Oh, 'cause she's dead!" (oh!)

worst ghost story ever

i'm prob not revealing too much by noting that taylor is the artist who probably suffered the most from vote splitting on this poll.

I just thought she suffered from having a lousy album.

ooooof

^ this

there it is

:D

it's been a real rollercoaster of a day lol

The album was a disappointment in several ways, a mixed bag, but I kinda find TS more endearing than ever... I'll save that discussion for the album thread, I think.

I'd listen to ya because endearing would probably be the very last word to come to mind re TS2018

this song could’ve been okay if only it hadn’t gone and opened the imtoos.exe email attachment

looooooool

Last one for today...

This is another one I heard for the first time over the weekend. Sounds very much like both of them phoning it in.

didn't vote for this (voted for the Eno album) but this is good.

oh yeah i forgot they put this out

v excited for new mbv this year. not v excited for this but hey, glacial bliss or something

the two k-pop tunes are good. Thanks to the voters - I completely spaced on k-pop this year and obviously that was a mistake.

That is just the product of a sound generating software, isn't it? The emperor's new clothes if there ever have been any.

Lest we forget:

Sounds like the answer to some sort of football question

‘have man u ever lost to mk dons dad?’

‘only once away my son’

Really good day apart from the very end and beginning of today (Despatchio and those couple of 5+ min eelctronic tracks, which I think are ok but wasn't in the mood for).

Despacito stil has the most votes...

TIE-67 TWICE "Likey" [158 points, 5 votes]
Damn, that's a tune! Good stuff ILM...

TIE-63 JESSIE WARE "Midnight" [160 points, 6 votes]
This is totally a highlight on the album! Whole album was great though, grabbed me more than anything else I've heard by her.

that eno + shields track is kind of garbage

hey, glacial bliss or something

that eno + shields track is kind of garbage

Fixed

That Bullion thing is a Limmy sketch surely?

That Bullion thing is a Limmy sketch surely?

Kudos. It might as well be.

I must admit though ive played it 5 or 6 times as it is a bit addictive

Limmy's best bits work like that

i reckon dee dee would love it

ha, I don’t take the limmy thing as an insult, the gurning wonkiness of it is a huge part of its charm imo
