Acclaimed Music Top 45 Songs from 2017 poll

I know ILM is a bad forum to make this point in, but it's funny to me that Acclaimed's methodology makes it seem like Slowdive was one of the biggest musical phenomena of 2017, and that they were far more significant in that year than in their 90s work: http://acclaimedmusic.net/artist/Slowdive.htm

it could be argued that slowdive are more popular now (in the u.s.) than they ever were in their 90s heyday

def part of the dissonance for me is how weird it is for this former teenaged US slowdive fan to see them alongside Kendrick, SZA, and Charli XCX with not one but two songs on this list (another part is I thought the reunion album was p boring but w/e)

this is an interesting discussion, as a fan of Slowdive since the debut album and seeing them or Mojave 3 around 15 times since the debut album. the 2017 album was finally their breakthrough, they played arenas three to four times bigger than anything they ever did in the 90s. also the latest album was probably more revered than any of their prior albums. i actually think the newest album is their best as well, it just all came together for them...

Going off the beaten track and voting for the 12 minute epic "Thinking of a Place."

voted for Bicep - Glue, in part for the nostalgic video, but also because I really like that track

"Cut to the Feeling" is one of those songs where they wrote a great chorus, and then decided just to mark time instead of writing actual verses & a bridge

Damn, I hadn't quite noticed this before and now I'm not going to be able to hear it any other way.

I think that's true of a lot of Carly Rae Jepsen songs and I've just learned to accept it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

of the artist that got two songs on this list:

DNA. > HUMBLE.
Los Ageless > New York
Boys > Track 10
Love Galore > Drew Barrymore
Sugar for the Pill > Star Roving

changing my original vote from "Sugar for the Pill" to "Dum Surfer," a song i did not know before this poll, and just over "Night Shift" and "XO Tour Llif3."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Voted for "Mask Off".

no votes for bodak yellow???? i listened to it for the first time in awhile when going through the spotify playlist for this list and i was surprised at good it still sounded

ILM 2017 Tracks poll winner down in 15th place

I hated that song but tbf she's actually tied at a 'third-place' level with eight other songs, with six songs scoring higher.

Some really great songs with no votes there. Wolf Alice in particular deserved better.
