Are We Having Fun Yet? ILM's Top 100 Tracks Of The 00's

Blasphemy! He was raised Southern Baptist.

xp

The next artist isn't on Spotify! I really will have to remember the Youtube link...

I like cry me a river but I hope it’s not the only JT song that places...

I couldn't vibe with Los Campesinos at the time, and I still can't now </curmudgeon> Fave thing here that was off my radar then is the Royksopp, so I must at least kinda know how to have a good time.

Lol xp

89. Joanna Newsom - Emily - 494 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs - Y2K+6

choob

Woo! Joanna Newsom is one of those artists where I wish I had nominated some tracks because Sawdust & Dianonds and Bridges and Balloons would've gotten my votes over this, but I ended up voting for this instead, lovely track.

Btw I went on a non-confirmation retreat but it was to a place where they woke us up by playing The Bartender & the Thief over the intercom and there was hot water for seven minutes a day. JT would have been a massive improvement.

Not that my disgusting opinion matters but my viscera puke up Joanna Newsom's voice as soon as it reaches my ears and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Yes! love this. I remember being completely transfixed the day it leaked.

god i haven't listened to Emily for years. I think my favourite off the album was the one about the bear though.

I like jmm’s post as a response to the previous one.

Despite an abiding love of harpsichord, I remain undecided about Joanna Newsom.

Voted for Cry Me a River, both a masterpiece of texture and a masterpiece of pettiness

gyac, what kind of retreat was that?! Stereophonics and water rationing sounds bleak.

Going back a bit, You! Me! Dancing reminds me of a very specific point in my life. It reminds me of being surrounded by great friendsand having a really great time in general.

88. Sugababes - Overload - 498 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs - Y2K

'the choob'

That Joanna Newsom track is the first track in this poll that Im not familiar with but then again, I always found her music a bit too precious tbh

Oh nice, "Emily" is the first thing from my ballot to place. Still feels epic.

Wooooo! This was my #2 vote! I have listened to this song solidly from the day it was released. What an odd and dark sound for a girl group, I thought then, and it remains so. It’s so spare and cool but effortlessly catchy and I adore Siobhan’s short-lived vocal performance for Sugababes with its weird estuary inflections. It’s like the best pop song ever.

there were lot of incredible sugababes singles to choose between and i ended up going with "freak like me" but i'm very glad to see this place

Hi! I'm here!

Yesss voted for Overload. Agreed, Sugababes had so many incredible tracks but this stood out to me at the time and still sounds amazing all these years later.

Overload still sounds so fresh and mysterious. It's crazy to think it's almost 20 years old. They were such a great band for the first four albums, but then it started getting silly with all the line-up changes and sadly the quality of the music suffered.

I was the #1 for "You! Me! Dancing!." Soundtrack for a birthday party my class threw me last year (unlisted setting).

I'm loving how many of these tracks so far are ones I cut from my shortlist of 110, think I counted 4 now.

I never checked out Destroyer (lumped them in with other indie bands I don’t care for like... Spoon lol) but this Bay of Pigs track is quite good.

wld've been in my top 10 if i'd voted

still kicking myself for not nominating ghosts for the album poll

gyac, what kind of retreat was that?! Stereophonics and water rationing sounds bleak.

went for push the button to my brothers aghast - this is a tune tho

My sister went on one of these catholic retreats and the song was Scar Tissue

Wow, I've never heard Overload. Really catchy.

*"overload" wld've etc

My sister went on one of these catholic retreats and the song was Scar Tissue

Voted sugababes partly cos it's a great song and partly cos when they happened to come in the shop I was working in they refused to sign any copies of their album because the picture of them on the cover " didn't do them justice" which as excuses go is p good.

What a loveable bunch!

Overload is class but again I hope it’s not the only one of theirs that features 🙃

i think i speak for us all when i say that i am dead at clemenza's video/explanation

also we need to find a way for gareth campesinos to see that

That video is wonderful! I would watch a full 8-hour documentary of that.

I was gonna vote Push the Button cos it's pretty unique but changed back to Overload final draft cos what a debut single and what an attitude it exudes

also I too love Overload and it was a very late cut for me, glad it made it nonetheless

omg, clemenza's class! That is the sweetest video.

<3 <3 <3

had emily at no. 3, was first newsom i ever heard. one of the incredible first listens of my life

good to know this poll's credibility is assured

I didn't vote for any Newsom but Ys made a big impression on me at the time and if I was going to pick a standout track 'Emily' would be it.

omg, clemenza's class! That is the sweetest video.

OTM.

And I'm listening on free Spotify so I'll make allowances but omg the sound of "Cry Me a River" is not holding up.

man does this song take me back to college

Little Miss Sunshine may have ruined this for me.

Huh I've heard all of #100-94 and then none of the next six save JT. Welp, my work playlist for tomorrow is sorted
