ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018

i think i voted for powerglide cuz i like 666 mafia also honey is so good

i'm both a 1975 obsessive and an afropop voter so where does that leave me

"this is america" at #78 would be fitting?

at a guess, this is another eight and a half minutes of exquisite minimal moodz

Guessing 78 is my number one obviously

Wouldn't go that far, but 'minimal moodz' is indeed a misnomer.

xp

Oh wait no. Number two

Krystal Klear at #78

hey gr80, you won't need to worry about what music you need to listen to from 2018, just wait for me to post my ballot and go from there. sorry to inform that no U2 was released this past year.

it's probably just a kpop thread favourite that missed out by a few points and i'll regret not putting higher

I bet "This is America" didn't make the top 177

my 78 guess is something kpop

i think the mlindo album is the first time i've actually encountered something not being on rym

Be my guest to help adding African artists and releases to the database. jgnikkila (who must be someone here) has already added a tremendous amount, but it's a long road ahead.

this i can see

hey omar - i listened to Kaputt about 100 times in 2018

Help me ilx... I need bangs... I'm dying out here... help meeeeeeeeee

I bet This is America is definitely coming

sorry to inform that no U2 was released this past year.

zooropa is actually my #1 2018 album, sorry

if Nabozo also #1'd "Toast" I wonder if that was enough to get it to 78

Not in the bad place, not in the good place... in the medium place. Like drinking your favorite beer but it’s warm.

I bet This is America is definitely coming

let'e make this interesting

TIA fake number 5 is my prediction

what is the opposite of bangs? is it... a slow burn?

Kacey Musgraves - 2013 Anticipation

”Slow Burn" is one of the most hauntingly gorgeous songs I've heard in ages. – dyl

Makes me think of Sufjan covering Bittersweet Symphony. - ufo

lol

hey omar - i listened to Kaputt about 100 times in 2018

my man, i just listened to it *yesterday* https://i.imgur.com/jDBVx6b.gif

I have no opinion about this and I want you to know it.

"hold me" bangs imo but ymmv i guess

that's a fantastic track, even though i didn't vote for it (voted for two other songs from that album)

fao gr80: you can reorder spotify playlists by clicking on column headers

I guess at this point in my life I'm completely out of loop when it comes to pop music, cos I have no idea what "This Is America" is?

not a banger but "slow burn" sounds like a million bucks

Kacey Musgraves is the definition of good taste.

What's the most perfect 78 ever? I remember Rolling In The Deep getting that particular honour one year.

Tuomas, "This is America" is the latest Kings of Leon single

I guess at this point in my life I'm completely out of loop when it comes to pop music, cos I have no idea what "This Is America" is?

It's a music video. Look it up on YT.

There's a chord change in the chorus to Slow Burn that gets me every time. The rest of the record didn't stick with me but that's the keeper.

time zones, maaaan

Are you Finnish ? I've been told there's a lot of trees between Helsinki and Sami land. Maybe moss and rocks too. :)

Going back something Matt DC said upthread, I will lol if the only placement left off my ballot is Peggy Gou, b/c that's pretty close to the least banging thing on there (okay, except for some weird experimental shit that doesn't have beats, but is harsh in other ways).

slow burn is a great song with perhaps the best production ever

I confess the second verse is just a little too dopey even for me, voted for a different Kacey tune

So, apparently it's a tune by that guy from Community? Why do people hate it?

If another 1975 track places and Blackpink don't make it I'm changing my vote on Simon's poll.

no way are blackpink making it though, i don't think there was much love for ddu-du ddu-du from the thread

But... it bangs. Almost nothing from this poll bangs. I NEED BANG.

Blackpink was my #1 so i did my best emil.y

more like "dope"-y

Also going back to something imago was saying, I dunno why you think Baby Shark will make it and it's such a bugbear of yours? I put it at #25 because I felt like it deserved a nod for being ubiquitous and memey, but there didn't seem to be a huge pro-Baby Shark movement?

bc it's really more of an event music video than a good song

i don't hate it but that's bc i don't rate it

Kacey Musgraves not really my thing but I’ll agree that this song is executed with good taste.

be real tho it was a v cool video

xps that's oscar nominee Ludwig Goransson to you!

I regret not voting for Threatin's 'Living Is Dying' (came out in 2017 but year of impact, etc.).

I guess we're all Tuomas some time: wtf is Baby Shark? I did a google and it didn't help
