but yeah youre right, these acclaimedmusic lists tend to overplay the indie rock stuff, which I think happens because of all the alt-rock mags and the British music press that boost it. "try me" crushes most of the songs on this list

'2 On' just over 'West Coast' for me. Seems to be a higher % of songs I don't recognise in this list compared to the previous few but then I don't remember 2014 as being a particularly strong year.

think this is the year I first joined in with ILM polls and there is a lot I'm very familiar with and plenty I still love, might be my favourite so far in these polls.

"Someone get Popsicles
Someone do something bout this heat"

These are the perfect lyrics for this week, but voting for their other song "Inside Out." This list does have some good songs on it.

Beep Dee’s “From Above” is still my favorite track from that year. Also loved Duke Dumont's “I Got U” (and the video), Rustie’s “Raptor”, Rae Sremmurd’s “No Type” and “No Flex Zone” and Jeremih’s “Don’t Tell ‘Em”

Can't believe 40 of these songs are rated higher than "The Charade."

no consensus winner this time around and a three-way tie makes sense.
