ILM's Top 100 Tracks of the 2010s

“king kunta” was my second-highest placing rap song, just an obvious classic from the moment it was released.

people take it too seriously imo, it’s such a fun song. “we want the funk!”

I would perhaps pedantically quibble whether FI are indie, or even whether we should be using the word 'rock' in their reference without the word 'soft' preceding it :p

there's definitely more definite placers than can fit in a top 20 - will be a weird ILM poll if Javiera Mena doesn't show up

think she reliably showed up at position 27 for a couple of years on end, she won’t be going top 20 now - also: strong vote splitting alert!

me otm as usual

I voted for this because it was one of the few latin american artists / songs I thought had any chance of making it. Wasn’t expecting it so high!

better not be the highest song in Spanish is all I'll say

Really pushing for "Despacito", eh?

ok when is Hard in Da Paint showing up

sweet

The Knife changed a lot in 10 years, and I could never get into this album at all. I guess I'm not surprised to see them in the top 20, but I thought the same thing in the original EOY poll.

javiera mena reaching the top fifteen is pure ilm in a good way

Yeah I’m very basic when it comes to both The Knife and Fever Ray. Loved Silent Shout and the Fever Ray debut, didn’t really get their follow-ups but respect them for not sticking to one style.

xpost to Brad, the only thing more ILM would be if Saint Etienne suddenly appeared.

As long as it isn't Robin Thicke.

St. Etienne ft. Robin Thicke

Would we love it if they made it?

Ok it’s been years since I heard this The Knife song and it’s a banger.

As a Floridian, I'm not sure I'd love it if we made it tbh

Voted for "La Joya" but very happy to see Javiera make it this high

glad this isn’t higher. not my fav from the album by a long shot

This is the only 1975 track I like, didn't vote for it though.

I do find it amusing that The 1975 place just as Brad shows up to make a post in this thread.

i actually quite like this

ok when is Hard in Da Paint showing up

voted for “grove st party” haha

Am I going too fast? Or shall I proceed with our countdown?

I didn't end up voting for any 1975. Somebody Else would have been the one.

Nice to see Javiera Mena and the Knife. I think everyone knows my feelings on the 1975 by now.

xp nice, nothing at all post-4 would be nuts (assume anything else is out tho)

voted for Full of Fire, not a song I listen to that often anymore, but anytime I do it always seems better than what I remember

I figured Formation would be here. Not sure if the S/T has one song we all agree on enough to make it this high.

The s/t has become my least favorite of the three most recent albums, but I wouldn't have minded one of the singles placing.

I fully expect three Beyoncé albums in next week's rollout, but tracks were subject to mad vote splitting.

That's exactly what I was thinking about The 1975.

That's the one I voted for after realizing that the Flawless nomination was the version without Chimamanda
Would have gladly voted for Drunk in Love too. Don't get the fuss about Love on Top though, and never liked Countdown (still can't believe she intended to do something that would appeal to the art pop audience).

Something tells me there are going to be a couple of surprises in the top ten

I'd wondered if she'd make an appearance.

Oh wow, is White Foxes coming up next ?

oooh yeah. too many people said they'd voted for it.

As the world gets more tense and irritating, "Full of Fire" sounds better and better.

"Accelerate" would've been my pick.

I would have given this a lot more points than I did if I wasn't also voting for the album. Therefore, too low! Haha

I was team Fade Away, but really I'm team every single song on that album.

I'm team 'if it ended at Slowly it'd be literally perfect'

I've always loved what a weird closer Insects is. It doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the album, but it somehow works.

First time hearing this. Or am I?

It sounds so much like something else to my ears but I think it might be something in Spanish.

Particularly the mmm is it the bridge? There’s so many hooks I’m not sure which one is the chorus. I mean the “safety net /// the strangest thing” part.

Anyways, cool song!

I need to listen to this album huh?
