Jeez, this is the same feeling I had when John Major won in 1992. Inevitable but still distressingly disappointing.

ILM/GRAMMY MIND-MELD!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah seriously - this place can't ever talk shit about the grammy's again

i'm going down the pub. so long suckers.

Drinks are on all of us. Steal our PIN numbers and charge our accounts.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:24 (nineteen years ago) link

if i hadn't forgotten to vote for digital love it would have been no. 2 - small consolation, though.

this is the feeling that reminds me why doing this on PFM (it was discussed w/Ryan around the time steve started this here) is probably not such a good idea: The crushing, boring inevitability of Kid A-Hey Ya! as winners coupled with probable places on the albums podium for, like, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and that Interpol LP...

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:27 (nineteen years ago) link

PFM shouldn't be doing it anyway because Stylus started planning theirs months before this poll.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Bravo to Stevem! Roll on the 90s!

There wasno doubt in my mind about the Hey Ya! result. Oh well.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey, Alba has to leave ILM now ;)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, and a few posts down, I'm supposed to go on TEH RAMPAGE ... but I think I did that already yesterday on this thread.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Despite Jess contrasting my remarks re: "Digital Love", his blurb is completely OTM - despite the supposed archness which surrounds it (robots, anime, french irony) it's the truest ever illustration of love and my favorite love song of all time - my #1 vote by a mile.

Big Up to Steve on arranging this whole thing, I've really enjoyed it.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

A genre which always had the potential to encompass everything suddenly did - uhm, except for the bits of the genre that that made it the genre it was before it encompassed everything else that wasn't it

― m. (mitchlnw), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Love Jess' comment on "Digital Love" as well. There's something to be said for the video but the song is pure emotion if not singularly love (the quieter bits give me a different feeling than the louder bits). I just go crazy during the solo and it can be quite dangerous if I'm driving. My #1 also by quite a bit.

Steve, you are awesome for running this show, and though I was a little annoyed by the long countdown at first, I was very excited by the end.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Can we turn these into books and sell them to gullible people?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Gullible people? These lists should be required reading for music 101 classes at universities!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Gullibility is perhaps the key word re. the Daft Punk love on ILM.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

although, yes, i do love Jess's write up of it.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Steve, you are awesome for running this show, and though I was a little annoyed by the long countdown at first, I was very excited by the end.

Ditto.

I woke up this morning and turned to my girlfriend and said, "Hey guess what? It's Friday. That means you don't have to work until noon, and we get to have dinner together tonight, and also, uh..."

"What?"

"Well, the ILM Top 10 is revealed today!"

She sensibly turned away from me and went back to sleep.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:22 (nineteen years ago) link

You couldn't say "I've got a surprise for you!" and then buy some flowers for her? NO SKILLZ.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I would never want to hear Dan Perry exclaim "I've got a surprise for you!"

― bnw (bnw), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

"It's my penis!"
"How is that a surprise?"
"... It's got a dickie?"
"Go away."

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 18:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Great job and loads of fun!
The poll, not your penis.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 27 August 2004 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

man did this list redeem itself at the end

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 27 August 2004 19:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Quiet, you ;-).

Well, that was obvious. Still, I forgot 'B.O.B.' was in the running, but I suppose that'll make me want to kill Dre and the midget more.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Friday, 27 August 2004 19:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh good. Had it not been for my "hate" vote, "Toxic" would have beaten "Crazy In Love." I feel like I made a difference today.

― billstevejim, Friday, 27 August 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

there is no god

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 August 2004 19:53 (nineteen years ago) link

but BRAVO STEVE!!!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 August 2004 19:53 (nineteen years ago) link

(So how many points/votes did Bardo Pond's "Every Man" get?)
(hides)

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

(I voted in spirit, Leee.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:34 (nineteen years ago) link

(All well and good, but I'm fearing that it got 35 points (ie. one #1 vote minus hate vote).)

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

(The drone is never ending.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

(I voted for it -- #10 -- ahead of "Get Yr Freak On" and "Crazy in Love"!)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

(Indie-ists (crawl back) to the thread!)

btw Barry, you have good taste in hates.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

thank you steve for doing this!!

― dave k, Friday, 27 August 2004 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Lee, did you vote for "Hunted By a Freak"? Or did it just get my 45 points and nobody else's?

And I think "Every Man" is one of the weakest tracks on that album -- I would have ranked almost any other OTE track higher.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

"Heeeeeey Yaaaaaaa, Heeeeeeeeeey Yaaaaaaaaa!" That song is the coolest! It's like a carnival in your brain!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I hate "Hunted By A Freak" -- spoils my liking for the whole album.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 27 August 2004 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Ugh, really? And you wrote the "Rock Action" comment (diff. album, but still)?!?

I fell so abandoned ... :)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

feel, even.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

My comment read harsh, I forgot to include a haha in it. I'm actually warming to Bag of Agony (I won't countenance the used title) -- but to me Mogwai have always had the least consensus among fans ever when it came to their favored albums.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Barry: I voted for "Hunted by a Freak." The rest of the album spoils my love for that song.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

(I think it was my #10 or so?)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

(Rock Action is my favorite Mogwai album, but I didn't vote for it.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:35 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah 'cos there was so much other great stuff to vote for!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I wish I'd voted.

PS: How come no one voted for "Yeah!" or "Freek-A-Leek"?

― djdee2005, Friday, 27 August 2004 21:50 (nineteen years ago) link

next poll I will only vote for untitled songs by minimalist composers using the sounds of walking ants and dewdrops falling off blades of grass

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 27 August 2004 21:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Have you got any idea how long it takes to read this entire thread after returing from Summer hols? And then you people reveal the Albums winner when I haven't even started on that one! Anyhow, what a fantastic thing it's been, all my votes got into the Top 100 and two out of my Top Three are in the actual Top Three so I am most certianly not complaining... Hurrah for stevem!

― JoB (JoB), Friday, 27 August 2004 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

but to me Mogwai have always had the least consensus among fans ever when it came to their favored albums.
Yeah, them or maybe Suede. Or Kraftwerk.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

BOYS AND GIRLS LOVE GOD ABOVE!

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 28 August 2004 01:56 (nineteen years ago) link

At least it isn't an indie single.
