ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

You had to know 31 slides wasn't gonna cover it. xp

I didn't think it was gonna make the list! New was my no. 1

the resignation in the lyrics and the music just totally sells this for me.

We've hit the top 30 without Kendrick appearing once, which suggests either he got vote split to hell or he's going to take up half the remaining places.

new makes me weirdly emotional

other loona tracks i strongly recommend are 90s sugar rush Everyday I Love You, ambitious orchestral ballad Sonatine, and Love Cherry Motion

kendrick doesn't exist

Whoever said before we're only getting "DNA" and "Humble" was correct, though I could see them both being top 10

new makes me weirdly emotional

same

much prefer this to the other loona

Same here

*likely correct lol, I'm not *that* sure xxp

at this point who even knows man

lmao this is a good year for extended jams huh

holy shit what is THIS

Red Flavor is def the best of the four girl group joints on this list, and RV also prob the least 'normal' of the four groups in terms of sound.

(...I write as the fifth entry shows up. Def a new record for k-pop in a year without an obvious 'the one track to vote for'. new is a jam, yeah)

Simon H - I wish, but I'm positive it won't. My #1 tho

Humble wasn't nominated until really late and I'm really not sure it'll make it

I think I voted for it! (for some reason I'm completely blanking on my ballot lol) xp

Man how did I miss that Mondo Grosso track, so good, want a 12 minute version. Bringing back Star Suite vibes which I rinsed the fuck out of back in the day

Xp Grafts yes!

fingers crossed, it was my no. 4

watch it get 78'd

awww KLC was my #1

I among those who forgot about the Mondo Grosso track but would've totally voted for it. :(

Also, my god, what an incredible video!

"grafts" is fucking awesome, good job everyone

Kara-Lis Coverdale is great - in addition to making ambient music and hanging out with Tim Hecker she's a church organist who occasionally plays rap instrumentals as people are filing in or out of the church.

Pretty sure I saw Grafts in at least a couple of album polls though.

No Paramore yet. Wonder if they've suffered from vote splitting

Good job everyone for Grafts at the high position and for stirring things up.

they'll only get one track in but i expect it to place xp

I would not have thought to vote for this but it's pretty cool!

re: Paramore, I voted for the album, but I can't imagine "Hard Times" not making it, at least

the only other acts with potential for multiple tracks left are SZA and maybe Lorde?

that sounds about right

I feel like this is so far the most bonkers ILX end of the year list so far. Like a playlist of these songs in this particular order would absolutely perplex anyone who isn't aware of the context.

I suspect the final stretch will be much less wild but I've been loving it so far

grafts is cool, not sure why i didn't vote for it. guess i wasn't expecting it to be on the tracks side so i missed it

it's blackened cities all over again

wow, she's a true hero

holy shit what is THIS

brad otm

this is cool

The KLC track is making me really anxious. Especially those random tape hiss bits. Gotta stop.

i will say this is the year when i either hit peak ilx hivemind or y'all came around to my way of thinking.

(give or take a st. vincent or two)

grafts obviously improves a lot on half-decent speakers or headphones, there's quite a lot of detail for such a minimal sounding piece

grafts is lovely so far, would be good to fall asleep to

the final stretch might be less wild but i still don't have any real idea what sort of order things will be in this year

just gonna leave this here
D'AWWWWCTOPUS: post yr images of adorable octopuses here (no squid allowed)

listening to grafts again rn and it's kind of l'apres midi d'un drone
