Acclaimed Music Top 45 Songs from 2013 poll

this weeks poll was supposed to be postponed because i was supposed to be in Vegas. plan fell through because of health issues with mom, so instead it only got delayed a few hours.

feel like this one is as bad as 2012 was good

sorry I cannot vote here it does not have "Two Trucks Having Sex" on it

this one is indeed noticeably worse than the 2012 one

Voted Sky Ferreira. It's not my favorite track, but I still jam that album on the regular.

Easy (and quick) vote for me.

Big drop in quality from the previous year. Will probably go for I Blame Myself or Falling. There's some other good songs here, but those are the only two I'm really excited about.

2013 was a better year than this list suggests. If they'd been here, I would have considered voting for:

Charli XCX - Superlove
Other songs from Beyonce (Rocket, XO)
Annie - Back Together
Jessie Ware - Imagine It Was Us Quadron - Hey Love
Tegan & Sara - Closer
Paramore - Still Into You/Ain't It Fun
Anything from Goldfrapp's Tales Of Us
Janelle Monae & Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N
Vanessa Paradis - Love Song
Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy
Pet Shop Boys - Vocal
Classixx - All You're Waiting For Feat. Nancy Whang

"Year of the Glad" must be up there, no need to check right?

it's between "Full of Fire" and "Water Me" for me

I’m gonna have to vote for Sky Ferreira again aren’t I

Avant Gardener

I to this day still like this Todd Terje song better than the 2012 one that won...

6 629 James Blake - Retrograde
10 1032 Kanye West - Black Skinhead
27 2457 Beyoncé feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie / Nicki Minaj - ***Flawless / Flawless (Remix)
33 2673 Disclosure - When a Fire Starts to Burn
39 3184 Pusha T - Numbers On the Boards
43 3681 Pharrell Williams - Happy
47 4120 Todd Terje - Strandbar

I hope I didn't fumble it when it came down to the wire.

this list seems to be missing the scientifically-proven best song of the year.

i'm speaking, of course, of "bugatti" by ace hood featuring future and rick ross

also missing the second-best song of the year, "versace" by migos

i guess critics didn't come around to the greatness of atlanta-based trap music until after it started to get stale. 'twas ever thus.

My #1 track for this year was Julia Holter's "Maxim's 1"

My (unranked) 27 picks for the year:

Julia Holter – Maxim’s I
Janelle Monáe – Dance Apocalyptic
Charli XCX – Take My Hand

Sky Ferreira – You’re Not The One
Jai Paul – Str8 Outta Mumbai

lol I remember somebody on ilm calling that drake song “hold on (I’m fucking terrible)” at the time and it made me lol

I love Song for Zula.

I'm very surprised that "Royals" beat "Get Lucky" for the number one spot this year. Tho it only barely beat it.

Full of Fire is still my favorite track from that year, and the video is memorable

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ended up voting for "Get Lucky."

as long as the winner isn't lorde, VW, AF, drake, JT, TWOD, thicke, vile, or cave I'll be satisfied

I'd even take more todd terje over those (here's another solid track I've never heard before & won't come rushing back to)

get lucky is such an aggressively ok song it's hard for me to imagine really loving or hating it. why was it such a thing again?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

correct winner, when i relistened i sort of felt like it was the best song from this year but also know that i will probably vote for the album when that comes up.

a very ilm track to win this poll (but also a good track)

I ended up voting for it
