ILM's Top 100 Tracks of the 2010s

xp nice!

Interested to see if anything shows up here that never made it to an EOY poll and if so, how high! What has simmered unproclaimed in the hivemind

This is a combo of Migra and Tiempos if you want them.

Lol

Sorry I should have specified it was the fonts I was talking about.

If I had introduced “bad liar” I would have written something like:

“Just like the battle of Troy; there’s nothing subtle about our next track”

Here’s our tasteful disco track

Every track so far from the second half of the decade. Expecting that trend to mostly continue tbh

Recency bias is kinda out thing

*our

I do believe the second half of the decade was considerably better tbh (as in, possibly the peak of contemporary music), but let's see

94. Julia Holter - Feel You (2015)

My most represented year seems to be 2011, not a good sign hivemind-wise

Love Feel You, but threw away my JH vote on another track, which will absolutely not place.

The Oranssi Pazuzu song made my ballot - v impressive psych odyssey. Voted for a different Selena Gomez track that I hope will place much higher.

Moka's images and colour schemes a thing of beauty.

Very cute dog in the Feel You video, hadn't seen that before.

Only 13/50 of the tracks I voted are from the second half of the decade. But I'm not the most representative of the ILM hivemind, especially on the track side of things. Albums, it's more evenly split amongst the two halves.

"Feel You" is great but one reason why I didn't submit a tracks ballot is so I wouldn't have to do the impossible and select just one track from an album like "Have You in My Wilderness".

Thank you tangent!

good tune
would have voted for Just over Glue myself

Couldn't decide which Bicep track to vote for, so I voted for neither. Thanks other voters!

first one i voted for! brilliant stuff

'Glue' is a banger.

I always go on about how I only really love Tragedy out of the Holter albums, but 'Feel You' is v much hitting the spot for me today.

Not that I can't look them up on my own, but just wanted to point out that these haven't updated for me on the Spotify playlist since New Rules. Is that the case for everyone?

Updating asap

In a bit of a weird emotional state today (basically money worries, nothing profound) and probably listening to 'Feel You' and 'Glue' in succession hasn't really helped, astounding pieces of music as they both are.

The comments on the Glue video are quite the rabbit hole too.

my half-decade splits were 21/29 for tracks and 16/34 for albums, so quite heavy on the second half

Playlist updated!

If you only listen to one song from the record, though, "Feel You" is a fine choice.

Hey, and old song!

(Also, Mitski. I voted for it, still like it, but what's there to say?)

I spent a lot of time with the various Holter nominations but apparently needed that video, just now, to grasp that it should have been on my ballot. Dogs clarify everything.

here's a song that is probably in my top 200 or so songs of the decade but cuts have to be made somewhere.

first song i heard by them, still probably my favorite one

the initial run of haim singles was incredible and this was the best of them

fwiw i don't think there's a noticeable recency bias in the results but i haven't done the maths there or anything yet

would have considered this Mitski song had I not voted for another of hers, stunning fare

i quite liked Townie

this song feels like a "blast from the past" already, time is so fast

"your best american girl" has a great melody, and i probably appreciate the song more now that the "teenage dirtbag" associations have faded from my brain lol. if i voted for anything from that album, it probably would've been the ferocious "crushed little stars."

crazy how mitski has legions of young fans who've probably never even heard "ybag" before.

also forgot how much i liked "feel you" so thanks for the reminder, Voters

"never even heard" is probably an exaggeration, but 2016 me would've been shocked to hear that "i bet on losing dogs" has nearly twice as many streams

ybag? ibold!

major "ybag" alert

Those early HAIM singles are a masterclass in pop songwriting.

this is still ehhh

Uptown Funk has always left me cold

Well, I was going to 'blech' Haim, but now this has appeared, ewwwww it's a much bigger blech!

Yeah don’t really get the love for Uptown Funk, maybe I’m just numb to its charm after being overexposed to it.

Moving on
