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

sounds good lj

I vote for not rushing it.

btw tt can you check your fb messages please?

I voted for Chicago. Soaring strings and singing about mistakes is a winning formula. The notion of being in love with the illusion of somewhere based on the emotional connections enjoyed there always seemed so romantic and amazing to me when I would hear this whilst unpacking 60 crates of Christmas books.

Will check, Neechy!

Okay. This next one has the highest enthusiasm score in the entire rollout. Few of you voted for this, but those who did, you LOVED it

Maybe even still do!

xps My boy was born to Push the Button. Like a total ponce, I'd taken Eno and SoTL with me but in the madness 'what music?!' was waaaay down the list. The registrar chose - by default - and it was so fucking perfect I'm tearing up thinking about it.

And Clemenza, good to be reminded it's the best job in the world. That video is awesome.

86. Lethal Bizzle ft. Fumin, D Double E, Jamakabi, Flow Dan, Demon, Forcer, Neeko, Napper, Ozzie B - Pow (Forward Riddim) - 503 points - 6 votes - 1 FPV - Y2K+4

powchoob

I have images down to 83. Shall I just go to there and see what we can cook up later? In case we have a busy day later in the week it might be good to go as far as possible...

Oh, this one! If I'd remembered how great it was I'd have given it a vote.

Oh yeah, Pow! Extremely good, should probably have voted

Still hope to see another track which samples Pow! place.

this is well good yeah

Voted 'pow' too. Great tune. Mad at myself for not him nominating kano's "reload it" which gets me almost as amped as ' pow' does and I am not a person prone to ampage.

coming up: the second of three ties

84 Sébastien Tellier - La Ritournelle - 505 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs - Y2K+4

84 Johnny Boy - You Are the Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve - 505 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs

choob choob!

love the images

Oh, the Johnny Boy is from the Y2K of our Lord +6

Yay, Johnny Boy. Love it so much and came close to being my #1.

This is a very fitting tie in that I love them both and didnt vote for either

Think I put La Ritournelle at #3, such a stunningly beautiful piece of music

Johnny Boy song is good, but the song title is so twee that I remember it as worse than it is lol

La Ritournelle is one of my many regrets, I blame the fact that I mostly looked through old playlists for my inspiration and that was a later discovery for me

i think it's fair to say that we should feel relieved about anything that made it into the poll - the competition being so intense

enjoying the tellier!

there is going to be 1 more track then a big old break for arguments, cheers, naysaying and such

no, don't it that way! but thanks for doing it all the same! (though nothing really matters)

etc

real internet voice: this is awesome imago! for real, thanks for doing it, really looking forward to the rest of the rollout. love the images t_t!

yay I voted for the Johnny Boy song, I find it genuinely anthemic

83. Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl - 507 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs - Y2K+2

over the choobwaves

also genuinely anthemic

dream about meeeeee

Yeah, my corny ass voted for this.

I don't know if that's the first two-time producer or not: "Anthems" and "You! Me! Dancing!" are both Toronto's Dave Newfeld.

Is a corny ass vote similar to a butt dial?

xp

(can't you come back?)

I don't know a lot of these. I was into Broken Social Scene but have never heard of this song.

wow i admit that i don't know a lot of these, but based on some cursory listening there's a reason why i retreated into noise and techno for much of the decade— a lot of stuff that sounds very meh to me.

like that Los Campesinos track is the sort of thing i'd genuinely like, and then the bells come in and i need to turn it off.

Substitute 'classical' for 'noise and techno' and we're on the same wavelength.

La Ritournelle is lovely though

oh god yeah i do know this BSS song... Or is it because it reminds me of something else?

Subsitute sausage rolls

oops wrong message board

you're in charge for the next few hours, boss

and yet

xp

Sausage rolls are a waste of sausage imho.

I don't know a lot of these. I was into Broken Social Scene but have never heard of this song.

this tells me that you have not heard the only great BSS album

I’m loving the rollout so far but feel like my favorite songs of the decade will all be in the bottom 50 if they appear at all.

None of mine have showed up so far but I'm sure that's because everyone else has voted correctly and my votes will all show up in the top 50

Yeah, my corny ass voted for this.

so so same. first of my list to place I think.

The only two songs I hadn’t head before is Overload and Pow. I did not expect the Sugababes one to sound like this, reminds me of Beck. I like this.

I don’t know about Lethal Bizzle, I never quite got into grime and I’m definitely not starting in my mid 30’s.
