ILM's Top 100 Tracks of the 2010s

One of my discoveries too.

Pachanga Boys actually ranked high on 2012’s poll (#12).

Glad it still does the trick

Here’s another 2012 we still love:

Wedding sone of the decade.

He's in love with his voice without being a narcissist, which is some trick.

perfect song

great photo too

Peggy Gou was our most surprising winner to me. I just didn't see it coming at all. It did end up growing on me a lot. I like I Go even more.

I was traveling so I missed a lot of the rollout yesterday. I see why people were commenting about the list being a bit one note, but I also liked almost everything last placed in the last couple of days. I think something like 12 of my tracks have made it so far. I'm obviously part of the problem.

Voted for Hatchie yesterday. I thought Sure would be the one to make it and considered choosing that. The bit where Stay With Me really kicks off is one of my favourite moments in music.

Also went for Don't Start Now. Dua Lipa is one of the few artists that had two songs on my list. I'm surprised it beat New Rules.

Video Games was my number one at the time, but ended up going with Ride even though I doubt any others will have voted for it.

I kind of wish I'd voted for Rihanna. Kiss It Better was one of my last cuts. Work is great too. Even the terrible Drake rap which my wife and I quote a lot. I once wrote, "If you had a twin, I'd still choose you" in an anniversary card. She's still with me despite this.

Tightrope and that Letterman performance blew me away at the time. Q.U.E.E.N got my vote though.

School Of Seven Bells popping up was a nice surprise. Big thanks to Johnny Fever for getting me into that one/them all those years ago. I think Open Your Eyes was on my list. I definitely voted for that last album.

Voted for Cool For The Summer. It's one of my favourite Girls Aloud songs.

Too low on Adorn. I thought this might challenge for the top ten. I had Do You higher on my list.

Do you like Adorn? Yeah?

Me too.

oh hell yeah

aw man i love yamaha

might be my most listened to track of the decade

Great song even though I don't think it's in my top 10 The-Dream.

best Ready for the World homage ever

I can't think of many albums I was more excited about hearing for the first time than Love King and "Yamaha" blew my head off - and it continues to do it to this day.

Really like how this song starts as if it had already been going on for a while, accumulating energy.

wow truly surprised @ yamaha placing. im here for it but yeah there are dozens of better 2010 dream songs imo

in my opinion yamaha is probably the best grand piano/motorcycle company out there

Lol

Our next song was bafflingly missing from the 2012 nominations and did not place.

It features a Beach House sample too

37. Kendrick Lamar ft. Jay Rock - Money Trees (2012)

whoa, it's my first vote to place

this could be the first of anywhere between 3 and 7 of his lol

this is def one of his best songs though, glad it made it in

Yeah this is my favorite KL song, I never get bored off it. Jay Rock shines more than him on this one though

Love King definitely felt like a step down from his first two albums, but Yamaha is one of his best songs.

I seem to remember despite Kendrick coming second in our 2012 albums poll, there wasn't much of him in our tracks list. Maybe just Cartoon & Cereal which wasn't on the album.

So many good tracks on GKMC.

Cartoons & Cereal was the most voted for KL track I think?

Yeah glancing at the noms /// poll /// individual ballots it seems like ILM didn’t think much of KL at the time. Which is weird because I definitely remember the rest of the internet hyping GKMC that year.

Good Kid is still my favourite Kendrick track. I doubt many agree.

Bitch dont kill my vibe and swimming pools were the big ones iirc.

Overall opinion has shifted and favored more Money Trees and Sing About Me as the highlights as time has passed from what I’ve seen.

ILM was too busy listening to Miguel.

Here’s another track that didn’t make it to the top 77 of its respective year:

36. Burial - Come Down To Us (2013)

great tune
pic reminds me of one of those you wouldn't steal a movie ads

Didn't expect Todd in the Shadows to place.

lol

forgot to consider this for voting alas. it is pretty monumental, easily his finest hour imo

The P!nk sample is so so perfect

Yeah! , That’s todd in the shadows isn’t it?

Couldn’t find any decent photo of Burial and searched for hooded guy on computer

I don't think it's actually Todd, I was just making a joke.

It's clearly Banksy checking his e-mail.

Voted for this quite high. It's such a beautiful track, and so fraught with pain. Feels like walking through different caverns of the mind. Goosebumps every time.

My very most favorite Burial!! Would never have thought of it as 2010s, in my mind it's 2000s and it's timeless
