ILM's 2010s Tracks & Albums Decade Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Larry Gaaga

Is this Lady Gaga’s weird brother or something?

I have a feeling nobody's going to vote for that last one, but thought I'd throw it in there anyway.

"that last one" = Boys? Would be interesting to see it go from ILM's #1 track of 2017 to DNP, more generally what tracks/albums fall the furthest from their EOY placings

Really enjoying listening to these tracks noms, good work all!

My bad, not sure how I forgot Wizkid (xposts).

Am also enjoying the tracks playlist, strange hearing songs that feel like they came out about a week ago mixed in with ones from early in the decade but there's so much good stuff I'd forgotten about.

― TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai)

Boys seemed to be a very unpopular winner and caused a bit of a Charli backlash on here. I really don't think it'll get anywhere near our top 100. I still love that one, but I'd put a couple of the other Charli tracks nominated above it.

I was surprised to be the first person to nominate Lana Del Rey's NFR considering it came second in our 2019 poll.

I'm also very interested to which albums/tracks fall in general. I'm going to go ahead and predict Big Boi isn't quite as popular as he was in 2010.

Would've laughed if 'Random Access Memories' had not been nominated.

No idea how I’m going to survive voting for this poll.

Same! I keep thinking of amazing songs and albums that haven't been accounted for yet, but I'm already in trouble with what has been nominated so far. Especially when it comes to tracks. What a great decade.

I think it’s the weakest decade I’ve been alive for – or at least a decade in which I paid the least attention – which is what makes me interested in this poll! If we were doing this for, say, the 90s, I wouldn’t even participate; the idea of narrowing down thousands of great choices to 50 or so would be absurd

Am I nominating the wrong asap track. He’s definitely not liked on ilm. I only care for his mixtape which is awesome imho. I think peso and palace are the more popular picks… maybe I should change my sandman nom to peso.

Wait Sandman was actually shelved and released as bonus track until 2021 so it’s not eligible I think.

Change my nom for Peso

Not even shelved… apparently it was recorded recently in 2020/2021. Feel like a fool now, it sounds like it came from those sessions.

Sorry about that.

*Typo, 7th track nom should be Sunny Sweeney

I think it’s the weakest decade I’ve been alive for – or at least a decade in which I paid the least attention – which is what makes me interested in this poll! If we were doing this for, say, the 90s, I wouldn’t even participate; the idea of narrowing down thousands of great choices to 50 or so would be absurd
