ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2019

Never heard of donato dozzy but discovered that track on the spotify playlist and immediately sent it to all my friends.

I've definitely heard some Cate Le Bon tracks I like a lot, but oof that one whiffs.

what's the record for most songs from the same album to make it into the 77? I'm expecting 5 to make it from PM

jesus really?

I wasn't even thinking "Darkness & Cold" would make it!

Hope so. I voted for 4.

Great

im with imago so far. only song id heard is NASA and thats one of my least favorites off her album. found the blanck mass song unlistenable.

Margaritas + Darkness + Nights + Snow I reckon.

Is this the crazy we were promised.

Blanck Mass is one I considered, but didn't make the cut. I really love the Cate Le Bon album, but didn't vote for any tracks, I did vote for this Purple Mountains track.

So far this roll out is much more in line with my own listening preferences than I can recall in any previous years. I'm used to looking at tracks and not recognizing a single one.

We were promised crazy results, not crazy tracks. Crazy results could mean anything in terms of quality!

also we are... seven songs in

wouldn't be an ilm 77 if the complaining didn't start immediately though

I guess it was implied that things would get progressively crazier as we near the summit. In which case this is a sufficiently sleepy start to our statistical Bolero

This hahaha I meant the top 20 and the overall results are very unpredictable and somewhat diverse compared to previous years imho.

Mark Ronson?

69 not 70 sorry!

nice

the jenny lewis track is good forgot about that one. guess i'll need to listen to that album

lovely song i didn't vote for xp

Also first time hearing this one. Avoided it because I didn't care much about the Miley Cyrus single but this is pretty nice.

Eh.

Great track, and I'd like to take this moment to recommend the next track from that album too (w/ Diana Gordon).

ILM sure likes Track 3 on an album. I think there's been about four of those already.

yeah sorry about that, I just find 5/77 to constitute a failure of collective imagination not a sign of a good artist, but point taken that I should wait to complain until it actually happens :)

i'm already bored with purple mountains too rob!

(sorry rip db)

how many 1975 songs made it last year?

I listened to like 20 seconds of some Purple Mountains track and had the same reaction as emil.y, just not feeling it

x-post: It was only two songs. Can't be more than three songs. Maybe it was four songs.

To be honest if ever there was a classic 'just vote for the album' pick it's PM.

Dammit, I screwed it up, and missed the window anyway.

Ariana Grande - "Thank U, Next" (the album)

I'm sure I've read some article about "perfect sequencing" where track three should be the real treasure of a record. Not sure I buy into that but I guess it could be working here...

really enjoyed finding this track through the campaign thread

not heard anything on the list so far. lots of firm ILM mainstays whom I've never bothered to check out before and I guess I really should..

It's hard to describe the visceral discomfort I feel whenever I listen to this kind of music but it never entirely goes away no matter how many times I try to overcome it. I can't imagine feeling the way this song feels and enjoying it.

Btw it's from 2018.

that was discussed

Sorry, I'm just Tuomas-ing in a different direction.

(album is from 2019 and is when the people here picked up on this song) xp

Gotcha.

*drums fingers*

Parola (Rework) is ill, it was my #4. always liked DD, ever since he released K.

I too learned about this one in the campaign thread, and subsequently voted for it.

Yeah I'm excited to hear Parola once the playlist is running and I've finished work!

Yessssss!

xp don't be too excited
