Like nothing is shambhala if it's familiar to people whose main engagement with music is through watching Graham Norton.

xxp shambhala is the 'not pop not indie shambhala' thread which is mostly for the 'synth pop + wispy indie singing combination' you mentioned
moth to the flame was one of the best tracks on a very disappointing album
tilted is fine but maybe a bit too restrained for me, i'm not surprised she broke through in the UK this year though
its weird that starboy was such a big hit, production is fantastic sounding but it's a bit slight and i wish it had a much better bridge

Voted for a different Chairlift song but Moth to the Flame is quite nice too.
Both parties involved in 'Starboy' sound like they're going through the motions.

― gr8080, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:18 (seven years ago) link
I've never heard an Underworld track that wouldn't sound better as an instrumental, and this one's no exception. Well, at least here the vocals are just forgettable instead of actively irritating.
― Tuomas, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:23 (seven years ago) link
Two first place votes? Seriously?
― Matt DC, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:24 (seven years ago) link
I wonder if Cosmic Slop is one of them?
― stichomythia (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 23 January 2017 13:25 (seven years ago) link
I have a lot of love for some Underworld but listening to that album was like listening to someone building a wall and this is no exception.
― Matt DC, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:26 (seven years ago) link
'Nylon Strung' and 'Low Burn' are two of their best 00s tracks easily.
― nashwan, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:26 (seven years ago) link
Impossible, since Scribble is their best track ever.

That Underworld track is pants, it reminds me of The Lightning Seeds.
― chap, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:31 (seven years ago) link
Chance the Rapper is fun, otherwise decent but underwhelming electro seems to be the sound of 16 so far.
― chap, Monday, 23 January 2017 13:34 (seven years ago) link
That Chairlift album was really disappointing compared to Something. Moth to the Flame is catchy enough but the 'He's that kind of man mama' part is unnecessary and a not a little bit cringey.

― ciderpress, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:01 (seven years ago) link
Not my kind of music really, but this is a-ok. Would've worked better as pure folk tho, the rock guitar in the right speaker is completely unnecessary.
― Tuomas, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:01 (seven years ago) link
Tho I guess that's what I always say about rock guitars...
― Tuomas, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:02 (seven years ago) link
Agree with the general opinion that the Chairlift album was a big disappointment after Something. There was a brilliant EP in there surrounded by a lot of filler. Moth To A Flame is one of the good ones. I voted for Romeo in my top five last year.
Tilted is a lovely song. I was really surprised it ended up being a bit hit. It sounded quite odd when it came on Christmas TOTP.
Starboy is so dull. I Feel It Coming is a hundred times better.
The Underworld album was fairly decent but I'm surprised just how popular it was on here.
I didn't vote for Atomic Number but I'm pleased to see it place. I would have voted for Best Kept Secret if I'd remembered to nominate it. The album is great.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:07 (seven years ago) link
This came close to being on my ballot so I'm pleased to see it placing. All the Case-predominant tracks on the album (this, Delirium, Behind the Armoury) are the best.
Like the Chance the rapper song too.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:10 (seven years ago) link
Oh wow, I really like "Atomic Number". I'm already listening to more by them. I bet the CD sounds great.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Monday, 23 January 2017 14:11 (seven years ago) link
This Starboy song sounds so much like a rework of Olly Murs 'Kiss Me Like You Mean It' + swearing that I can't enjoy it in any objective way.
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 23 January 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
Totally disagree with Tuomas about the distorted electric guitar part, unsurprisingly.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Monday, 23 January 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
I'm not sure I'd go back to the whole album much but this is the first song to place that's elicited much more than a shrug from me.
― Matt DC, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link
Atomic Number is a gorgeous song, their voices work so well together. I voted for the album instead but this track was one of my favourite singles of last year.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:16 (seven years ago) link
The caselangveirs cd is quite cool so far.

― ciderpress, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:22 (seven years ago) link
Oh yeah 'Delirium' is my other favourite.

ILM's Top 200 Singles for 2016
Spotify has 191 of them; perhaps unsurprisingly, five of the missing 200 are Beyonce tracks ('Formation', 'All Night', 'Sorry', 'Hold Up' and 'Freedom', in that order).Anyone want to name the other four? You'll win a shiny nickel.
