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

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.

Kinda worried that hip-hop is gonna get the shaft in this here poll (bluntly titled track #100 aside)

Of course not. UGK, Clipse, Outkast, Kanye, T.I., Nas, Jay Z and even Eminem have a chance of making it over Dead Prez.

Love a lot of the other big Grime staples but 'Pow' never did it for me compared to numerous Ruff Sqwad and Rolldeep and co. efforts plus hits like More Fire Crew's 'Oi'.

Sausage rolls are a waste of sausage imho.

I'll keep that in mind.

It only took 13 years but I finally listened to the Johnny Boy track with the funny title. It's pretty good!

Me yesterday: Man, a ton of stone cold classics just barely got in.

Me today: *sees Sufjan Stevens - Chicago* Remove Bookmark from this Thread

honestly had similar reaction. i thought he was precious bullshit when i was 19, can't really understand how anyone could like that dreck.

I liked a lot of precious bullshit music in the 2000s but never bothered with Sufjan

Sufjan is definitely precious bullshit, but he's precious bullshit with good melodies and fun arrangements

I didn't vote for any of his tracks though

Of course not. UGK, Clipse, Outkast, Kanye, T.I., Nas, Jay Z and even Eminem have a chance of making it over Dead Prez.

i didn't literally mean that no more rap songs would place in this poll

2010s Sufjan >>>> 2000s Sufjan

I didn’t care for the Sufjan tracks that got nominated and I find the song Chicago slightly obnoxious - safe from the verses. The album itself is also disappointingly his more celebrated one from the 00’s when Seven Swans is where it’s at.

I would’ve easily voted for songs like: “for the widows in paradise...”, “all the trees in the field...”, “the dress looks nice on you”, “to be alone with you”, “in the devil’s territory”, “sister” or “a good man is hard to find”.

I loved Broken Social Scene but never really saw 'Anthems...' as a standout track, I mean I get why people like it (I think) but it just doesn't do much for me. In the end I voted for two tracks involving BSS members but nothing actually by them - '7/4 (Shoreline)' nearly made the cut.

7/4 shoreline is still my fav BSS song too.

i voted for sufjan in the albums poll, but not for illinoise
