ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

so done with nihilistic cloud trap

XO Tour Llif3 is a perfect pop song, with generation-defining ambitions that it nearly reaches. I had it in my top 15

xp i don't really care if you cry

glad this was such a hit this year

xo feels like a song that's going to age very well

also have a soft spot for the science project version

it just makes me sad for the generation inheriting this fucked earth. guess it's the new punk or w/e

I'm not into anything vaguely trappish either, but let's not get dramatic.

idk I think they're doing fine xp

(and he whispered...NO YOUTUBE EMBEDS)

oh fuck sorry

I have images turned off so I never think abt these things

fun lyric flip but hoo boy that's bad autotuning going on there

lol

There's one song where I saw it on the nominations list and went 'Oh right, I actually really liked that back then...' which I can imagine enough other voters to feel that way about that it should make it right about now and if it does you'll all go insane :)
Fingers crossed

Also, kinda like cloud trap, I guess.

it's important that all tracks that place sound timeless forever and that we can gauge that in advance

23 SUSANNE SUNDFØR "Undercover" [284 points, 9 votes, 1 first place vote]

fuck yes

didn't even occur to me to vote for this instead of the album but it's a staggering song

this is probably my least favorite song in the top 77. What am i missing here?

whattttttt I did NOT expect this to place. voted for it!

idk it's beautiful man xp

ten love songs was obviously an amazing record, but there wasn't a song that showcased just how incredible a vocalist she is like "undercover" does. the final minute is mind-blowing.

I like the album plenty but this can't help but kinda tower over it

she nails it every time live too. we are lucky to have her.

Incredible song. The way it builds towards the end is breathtaking.

there were a few other songs i liked more on the album but it's still quite good.

just another day on earth where i listened to "undercover" and cried lol

she nails it every time live too

yeah this was something to behold

some days i feel like i'm in bizarro world; pretty sure this isn't even in my top three songs released in 2017 named "Undercover"

tbh, this might not be the highest-placing "undercover" on this poll

it almost certainly isn't, and I voted for both!

the final minute is mind-blowing.

Yep. Coming off Ten Love Songs, I was all "eh, so we're doing this now?" and THEN I got to the end of this.

didn't get into the album unfortunately but love this track

yeh the final 2 mins spook me in a good way

I admit I don’t really get Sundfor but I see she has a heavy following on ILM.

back to back "Undercover"s would be amazing but the Kehlani one was my most played track of 2017 so I'd like to see it as high as possible

i was VERY slow to warm to Kehlani's "Undercover" but I rediscovered it in November and it's been on heavy repeat since and i think i'm going to play it again now

Undercover is beautiful. That's all.

Undercover is great and when I heard her doing it live it reached new heights for me. Best voice.

n1ck sylvester has his revenge!!

(this is good)

yes this is excellent -- i voted for it. had no idea sylvester was involved til later.

Just now checking out the J Hus album. Title track is so my thing.

Yaeji killed this rollout dead it seems.

i don't really get the yaeji hype or this track but raingurl was decent

This feels like hack shit to me, but ¯\(ツ)/¯

^^ new board description

Raingurl definitely better

this Octo Octa track is nice and I definitely prefer the more subdued origin than the compressathon of the remix
