ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

lol 5 of my votes placed today. welcome to the hivemind, me.

I don't think anyone really liked the Lindstrom this year?

― ufo,

Yeah, the Lindstrom album was really disappointing.

ahhhhhh i forgot to vote for Take Ah Bathe, my bad

is no one repping Jay-Z any more?

ILM doesn't use Tidal.

Well except for that one guy who shows up in the Spotify thread to complain.

xp for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPo59ezlNVU

agh, that was not meant to post the youtube, apologies

xp

i think that guy was banned for being psycho

I was following on from MarkoP's post. Can't think what else he might be referring to except maybe the Arcade Fire and if they show up this year then I'm deleting ILM.

Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done, forks.

I assumed Malibu by Miley Cyrus would be in here somewhere. I'd be surprised if it was this high though.

Two of my votes so far. I am only expecting one more to show up for sure.

Starting to lose hope for Melanin :/

I think there's a chance for another Wolf Alice track, but maybe most of the people who would have voted for it just voted for the album.

feel like "feel it coming" missed its moment last year

then again i would've said this about childish garbaggio or whatever

― flamenco drop (BradNelson),

made my P&J ballot, part of my moment last year.

Melanin was a step too far into gloop territory for me

i guess you still feel it coming alfred

Predictions for top 20:

Bicep - Glue
saer - ::_::
Julien Baker (Appointments)
XCX
Kendrick
Slowdive - Sugar for the Pill
Lindström/J Hval

Probabaly not?
Aldous Harding - Imagining My Man
Superpitcher: vote split victim?

was hoping hurtin’ me would show up or does everyone hate that or something?

is there a link for that saer track? I actually meant to go back and sort those out; I loved watching that drive through the rain video after returning from a trip to the peak district in June

@Matt DC, Much more ILM friendly than Arcade Fire. Could be overestimating its chances of showing up in the top 20, or even the levels of groans it would receive.

ILM's gonna go nuts when thanks to LJ, Jute Gyte go top 10

i didn't know there was a consensus saer track or woulda voted that way

That was a terrible day today. k-pop really is not my cup of tea. It is pretty unbelievable but i guess the richard dawson middle ages folk song was my fave. I by no means like that kind of music very much but it made for a nice change after all that bloody contemporary stuff. Tomorrow can only be better, yesterday was quite decent. That kamasi washington track was godlike, phantastic cosmic-mystic pharoah sanders vibes.

I nommed this one

bloody contemporary stuff

lmao

I've liked a lot of stuff all three days of the poll, maybe the most stuff I've vibed with ever

thanks LBI! it was "back in time for tea" I was talking about earlier--this is nice too

'back in time for tea' too is brilliant

Would be surprised if Cut To The Feeling missed out on the 77 altogether so perhaps that is still to come.

And more than five ilxors voted for Boys too surely?

no way in hell does CRJ not make it

Selena Gomez probably?

Is Raingurl really not going to place?

It very well might!

Oh, I forgot to say, high fives to etc, the other one with the right #1

Liked this!

Prob my most played track in the car this year. Love it with my all.

Kara-Lis Coverdale is becoming a fave already, although, oof, 5 GBP for one 22m track is as much as her 2015 full-length costs.

Drink I'm Sippin On is a jam. The kind of song that makes you want to have more of the same thing right away.

Hoping a saer track does make it if only to see his thoughts on it

Green Light was my #1. To me it's a perfect pop song: infinitely replay-able and always carthatic in ways I can't describe.

I'm guessing that New Rules will be #1 but honestly there could be ten other possible winners. It's not like last year where it was obviously gonna be Black Beatles

And if the pet shop boys were able to make the top 20 last year who knows what'll show up.

hey Sund4r, these are the sleeve notes from the back of the KLC record. i've read them about 8 times and I still have no idea what the heck it all means, but you might find it informative(?)

These ones will surely make it:

BODAK YELLOW
MASK OFF

Maybe these?

Fever Ray
Calvin Harris
Lana del Rey
Selena Gomez
Thundercat

Weird year for consensus... many split votes. First year in which I have no idea which ones will make it to the top 20. Thought XO would be top 20.

this has to be the year with the most non-english tracks. which is pretty great.

totally forgot about Bodak. of course it'll make it

There's probably a Kelly Lee Owens song lurking in there as well.

I'm thinking one of Vince Staple's makes it.

Future released so many better tracks than Mask Off this year. I mean, Patek for a start but also Fresh Air, I'm So Groovy, Comin Out Strong all great but I guess Mask Off was the hit

I voted for Patek but somehow doubt it showing up?
