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.

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.

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.

there is no god

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

but BRAVO STEVE!!!!

(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.

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.

― Atnevon (Atnevon), Saturday, 28 August 2004 04:30 (nineteen years ago) link

how did Poison do?

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 28 August 2004 11:38 (nineteen years ago) link

wait.no..............southern hospitality?

― bakers (thoia), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Are we going to get what 101-200 were here? I'm really curious.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just noticed that 'Say My Name' was released in 1999 not 2000, so shouldn't even be on the list.

Wow, Usher and Nina weren't even close.

I will never get LCD Soundsystem.

OMG, Bardo Pond and Mogwai didn't miss by much!
Drugstore got more than just my vote!!
Depeche Mode's "I Feel Loved" must have got mine + someone else's - two hate votes!
Post ballots too plzokcool.

Oi - my ballot is private.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 28 August 2004 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

i'll probably return everyone's vote to them via the e-mail address they supplied and then they can post them here or on a new thread if they want.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Saturday, 28 August 2004 17:02 (nineteen years ago) link

perfectly understandable

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 28 August 2004 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, I saved a copy of my ballot, so I'll just start that thread now ...

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 28 August 2004 17:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Crikey! I didn't nominate La Novia but ended up being the only one who voted for it.

And if I'd voted for "Hunted by a freak" instead of "Take me somewhere nice" in the same 32 point spot...
