u still sound butthurt

Wow, somehow I think of Fiery Furnaces and Jens Lekman as ILX faves but hardly anyone else rated their records....

Most of what I voted for down there in the 300s with a few other votes. In the end, the only thing I voted for alone was the Takka Takka s/t.

Like "The Healer," so thanks to this poll for that!

it's funny how you can be on ilx nearly everyday all day and not really know how much ppl seem 2 dig badu. guess all it takes is not clicking on 1 thread

guess all it takes is not clicking on 1 thread

Or the 2009 album poll.

Could somebody please repost the full results? Apparently there's some type of malware on this thread (from all your crappy album picks no doubt) and my computer won't let me open the thread fully.

Thank you. And I can honestly say I am very surprised at the number one record. Wow. And for the record, Lil Wayne coming in at 100 is just stupid. That should be way higher.

I love Mama's Gun...like every time I listen to it, I feel like Erykah is one of my best friends...

and every time I listen to Nu Amerykah pt. 1 I feel like one of my best friends got elected to Speaker of the House or something...

wkiw nancy pelosi

I was an Erykah #1 btw. I still maintain that she made an album about me.

thanks a ton, JS and JF

Yes, thanks. After looking at the full album spread-sheet I was pretty struck by how much work was involved with this (not that it should have been a surprise considering how long the nominations list was).

How are you people seeing past #200?

NUMBER CRUNCHING:

albums whose only vote was a first place vote:

Tokyo Jihen - Adult
Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst
Charalambides - Likeness
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - in Glorious Times
Kathleen Edwards - Asking For Flowers
The Owls - Daughters and Suns
Actress - Hazyville

OH HI DERE ME

great great top 2

i love the downcast euphoria of the burial album. was my #1

Did you vote? Untrue was also my #1, but the scorecard says 1 #1 vote. Hmm ...
Anyway, good to see it place so well.

!!! at that #1 ... I didn't even vote!

i knew ILM loved that album but i had no idea it was potentially #1 of the last five years. i'll have to give it another go sometime...

I'd call it the #1 of the last 10 years, really.

btw bigups for a top 5 where i like every album to some extent ^_______^

(NA >> SoS > 3 > Kala = SS)

xp right..... but I can only see the top 200 of that

weird, idk man

Whaaaa? Scroll down, it goes to 800 or so

Maybe you have some of that malware? I don't know. Are you trying to scroll too soon and making it freeze while it's loading? Somehow I don't think you would do that.

Everybody reboot your computer and reinstall ILX

I did vote! maybe they counted one of our ballots as unranked. If they did, correct ranking would have put it only one spot higher, so I guess it's no big deal

The best part about "In Rainbows" is still how Radiohead managed to commit what starting at a person napping sounds like to tape.

Lol Portishead. Maybe Fatboy Slim's comeback album will be no. 2 on the 2010-2014 list.

a) Fatboy Slim never went away. He just released an album under a different name last year.
b) Portishead and Norman Cook are alike in what way?
c) Third is awesome. Eat a dick.

I will admit that Portishead has rather successfully bottled what being old and apparently infallible sounds like.

Norman Cook: DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

hope u die on the floor of the house of representatives

huh, it's only in Opera that there's a problem, if i open it in IE (u_u) the whole thing loads and i can now say i am disappointed in every last one of you for leaving The Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind. shame on you. shame.

ol' norm already released an album w/ david byrne this year. just getting warmed up.

chances of that album placing in ILM's 2010 poll? 1,000:1

Opera is weird. There are a lot of things I love about it, but ultimately it annoys me. I love the way it scrolls though, it's so smooth.

1. Thanks for doing this J0rdan.

2. ##101-200 v. interesting - kinda wish we'd done the countdown from 200 now

3. Pleased that 19 of my 25 nominees got votes.

ugh RONG THREAD! scuse me

This thread motivated me to finally check out Studio's West Coast. I'd hear Yearbook 1 before and had WC on my long list for aaaages, but so glad this prompted me to finally giving it a go. Loving it!

I FUCKING LOVE THIS LIST BTW, KUDOS ILM.

also:

Yay Dilla!!

Finally bought a proper copy of New Amerykah Pt. 1 this week and have played it like a million times again and it really is the best sound.

still pissed about donuts beating every rap album
