ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

I hadn't heard the remix before and it's incredible

The original version is one of my least favourite songs on the surprisingly great album. The remix is indeed really awesome.

Slowdive, huh? Weird.

Think I voted for Star Roving over this. Haven't heard the remix but will seek out

I'm not particularly into that Kesha song but got weirdly emotional when it kicked up for the last third.

Are these the first two guitar rock songs in the 77 btw? They might be!

Does Algiers count?

um REMIX hello, why aren't ppl talking about the remix artist

there was alvvays and algiers

also, Wolf Alice

i'm assuming the slowdive is a house remix?

And whatever the hell Kevin Shields was doing on that Eno platter.

the remix is here

it is heaps better than the original imo and more alligned with where slowdive were going on pygmalion

you can argue about whether Isbell or Nilufer Yanya are "rock" or if the St. Vincent song has "guitars"

i'm assuming the slowdive is a house remix?

Hardly.

I quite like the remix! NickB is right I think

awww ok i'll google

thanks for the link NickB

slowdive song is all about the avalon emerson remix. again

ahaha called it!

too low

the Bicep album is cool but here's a perfect example of an artist that has no business taking up multiple slots imho

Fabulous hair on those dudes.

<3

TOO LOW

My #1 btw. Simple yet so effective.

the Bicep album is cool but here's a perfect example of an artist that has no business taking up multiple slots imho

disagreed if only bc "glue" and "aura" offer totally different experiences both of which are p awesome

catching up: kind of forgot how effervescent and sprightly the Kehlani is, though I did vote for the album

heard this earlier in the year and didn't care about it but now it seems really cool, will have to check out the album

gutted i missed bicep in december due to the rainbow shutting down

bicep another one that's elevated almost incalculably by the video

The Slowdive song was underwhelming for me (imago basically OTM) but the remix is something else. The Alvvays song was better post-shoegaze/dream-pop/w/e imo, though the album made my teeth hurt a little.

OK, I just got weirdly emotional at the rave memories in the Bicep video so I'm obviously just having a very overemotional day. 'Aura' is still better (this is good too).

yeah i prefer "aura" but i'm not mad at "glue" or anything, it does a lot with v little

for all my small complaints this is easily my favorite 77 that I can recall

remix of "sugar for the pill" is so, so, so wonderful upon revisit that now i wish i had voted for it even though it's sufficiently high

the video to this really is a great match to the music

for all my small complaints this is easily my favorite 77 that I can recall

I'm inclined to feel the same way. By some distance, too.

even if the #1 ends up a massive anticlimax (which is more likely than not tbh)

Yes (and yes)

yeah it's been a really great list, looking forward to the top 10 being entirely kendrick and sza though! (actually not sure multiple tracks from either will place at this point)

hoping for akanamali as #1 though that's unlikely

these is ballot polls

yeah I'm revising my original guess to only 1 sza track

eh this song's pretty annoying tbh, if you ask me they should melt bicep down for glue

got 'em

here's hoping for some shockers :)

"akanamali" getting this high is astonishing

it's cool that 'hailing drums' made the ilx top 12
