ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018

Just read through all the comments on the SavingCountryMusic.com review of "High Horse." A typical example:

"More garbage and hype. 'Gutsy and innovative' my ass. This song is third-rate Rilo Kiley."

if the 1975 appear in the top ten twice then i apologize for everything i've ever done

forks is the 78 carly rae "party for one"

has the same track ever topped our list and pfork's before?

2008: Hercules and Love Affair, "Blind"

"SavingCountryMusic.com"!

(haha, "third-rate Rilo Kiley" is a good burn, tho)

It would be amazing if Burna placed this high (with “Ye”?), but sadly my #78-79-80 prediction seems the more realistic one.

I had my bets on Gbona but I've started doubting. He must have made five times 50-160 points if not more.

ok that's pretty defensible xxp

i am rooting for peggy gou, "inspector norse" of 2018 otm

so am i

Hahaha glad you're all at least enjoying the images since it seems noone is thrilled with the results so far.

I can't take too much credit if the photographs I'm working with are good tbh, I act as more of an overseer for an artist like say, Rosalía, who connects visuals very strongly with her music there was an immense gallery to choose from... in fact she had so many good ones it took me ages to settle for a photograph as she has so many good ones. I settled with Camila Falquez's photos of her for Vogue Spain... if you enjoy those two I used check the rest of the set out... I loved it. She also did a good photoshoot for Janelle Monae last year.

I think the hardest one to find an image for was "rolling blackouts coastal fever" because the name of the band is extremely long and it felt very busy graphically with every photo of them I experimented with. I ended up taking the lazy route and added a picture of the album instead which worked fine. I think it's the only image in the whole rollout that is not a photo of the band or a still of the music video.

BradNelson: thats a negative on CRJ

hmmmmmMMMMmmmMMMMmm

peggy gou seems like a shoo-in to me based on the amnt of bobbins we've had

btw, i have all this stuff written out... if it would be better for west coasters, I'm happy to go ahead and do the full rollout now so that we all have our Fridays to ourselves. If that's a strong yes from the crowd...?

I say yes!! (not a west coaster just impatient)

oh god yeah put an end to my misery
