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

I thought I didn't know this dead prez song, but it's in that cinema advert with the man driving his daughter to school. Surprisingly, that's not ruining the song for me.

I'll be interested to know ILM's noughties taste because I genuinely have no idea.

Good memory: When 2ManyDjs played Roskilde in 2007, ten seconds into 9/5, the sound went out and we could only hear the monitors. But everyone was so excited about what was to come, that we didn't really care, and when it turned into Eple, the crowd when crazy anyway. Everyone was jumping up and down and singing along. We were making so much noise, in fact, that nobody could hear the music from the monitors over our own singing, so when the brothers then mixed away into another song, the crowd just kept on singing Eple, making them very confused.

98. Aaliyah - Try Again - 466 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs

Whoa, too low

xxp except almost all of my noughties picks were tied up in fairly strong memories and there’s some artists I’ve never gone near for that reason. There’s going to be lots I haven’t heard during the periods I was checked out

top blingee tribute work, tt

Thank you! I was saddened to learn it had closed down, but relieved that there are still many sites like it out there.

Try Again was one of the last painful cuts from my ballot, which I now regret.

97. Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At? - 466 points - 11 votes - 0 FPVs

I didn't vote tracks but Hip Hop and Try Again are legit two of my favorite songs so wd so far!!

Xpost such a great use of that Numan sample

Re: "hip hop" - there was kind of a rap nostalgia going on the '00s. See also - Jurassic 5, Missy Elliot's "under construction"

(Some of the most amazing sounding bass on both those tracks though -- xpost to self)

96. Jürgen Paape - So Weit Wie Noch Nie - 472 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs

The first 🤷‍♂️ for me so far. I have no political idea what this is.

lol where did "political" come from? Autofill mishap.

ja das ist sehr nett

I spent most of the 00s out of the UK and missed out on loads of music, so a few tracks so far are new to me, think I only know one Spoon track for example and hadn't even heard of Dead Prez.

That track is the giraffes necklace

Ooh, this is quite nice!

The video for the Jürgen Paape track is great

95. Aaliyah ft. Timbaland - We Need a Resolution - 480 points - 8 votes - 1 FPV

Jürgen Paape track is lovely, never heard it before

we need a resolution is perhaps the song i most regret snubbing

Is the thread name a Nickelback reference??

I thought it was a Party Down reference

#teamnickelback

These five words in my head

A song that really did kind of define the 00s, in all their bloody grimness. I expect it will place high.

Chris Moyles played that song every half an hour during my stint as a temp in a miserable office where they had radio 1 on all the time.

Yay more Aaliyah!

am i supposed to change (my ballot)? are you (the pollrunner) supposed to change (my ballot)?

94. The Strokes - Hard to Explain - 480 points - 9 votes - 0 FPVs

that is about the best song by the f@cking strokes...

glad hip hop barely made the cut! i think i agonized about where to place it on my ballot and lol if i had gone one lower it wouldn't be here so that's cool. i won the poll!

I like “fuck the cops” way better than “hip hop” but glad to see the prez... didn’t Kanye have something to do with the drums on “hip hop” or am I imagining things?

drums/beat whatever

wait no I’m thinking of “they schools”, not “fuck the cops”. Been awhile!

93. Destroyer - Bay of Pigs - 485 points - 7 votes - 0 FPVs

i think kanye did a remix of 'hip hop'

I hope a third Aaliyah track places because that'll be the one I voted for.

I like the bit in the Strokes' song when they sing 'I'm not like that'. I'm sure there must be a musical reason for it.

Listen, I've been drinking

Whoa, too low

there is no such thing as too low in this poll where we could only select 50 songs from the most thrilling decade for singles in recorded history

Thrilled to see two of my favourite songs ever placing, even if it is at #93 and #96.

Good stuff all around so far (except maybe Spoon).

92. Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevee (Carl Craig Remix) - 485 points - 8 votes - 0 FPVs

^^^this remix did pretty well for itself!

love this! voted for three so far, the Relevee remix, Aaliyah (Try Again) and Jürgen Paape

these are great images, tangenttangent and imago!

rereading I see that tangenttangent made the images/gifs, they are perfect for this poll

Last one for tonight coming up soon!

I like that So Weit Wie Noch Nie video, also the one for Eple which I had never seen before

terrified tbh

I'm still terrified now that the results are in... and I didn't even participate

I'm listening on Spotify and have wrote 1-20 words for each song. I might post my opinions on html playground

lol go for it!

i once had a dream that I ran to heaven on a treadmill and a full orchestra playing "Stay High" was marking the way
this is your annual reminder that DJ Paul has an Oscar

don’t get Jon Stewart started

I thought "What About Us" had a shot but it only got 3 votes (including mine). It feels like one of those roads not taken for popular music

It was on my list when it was hovering around 70 to 80 songs, but not much beyond that. Brutal cutting stuff down.

I scrolled up from the end and assumed that was someone's ballot - over half of the -149 list are considerably better than 70% of the top ten, WTF.

So 1 Thing is #1 and there are two Missy Elliots in the top 12 but my top vote to Let me blow ya mind did not suffice to make it crack the top 100 ? Y'all don't know what's good.

we fought that good shit in our ear

There were some errors with the spacetime continuum and the post office, same old story they said

I only voted for 3 records because knowing more than 3 records is for people who correct you're grammar innit

1) Buffalo, USA, 2001

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YTzWu2ys2s

Voted for the wrong DarandLand track but who cares, it all happens in midfield for hydrated ballers

2) Miillwall, UK, 2002

The Fish Brothers And Eastend - We All Shout The Millwall Song. No record of this on the internet. Never heard it. The stuff dreams are made of, don't wake up offside

3) Rhyl/Paris 2001

is a secret

how much cred does this gain you?

cred is outlawed by canton overseer

Feeling that one

Oops that was supposed to go on the other thread not the results thread, sorry!

Huh, we should prolly do the 2010s this sooner or later.

it'll be great whenever someone gets around to running it

just noticed Losing My Religion is in place of Losing My Edge on the Spotify playlist

My favourite discovery from this poll was the Johnny Boy song. Love that song!

Ha!

i was there in the corner, i was there in the spotlight

still think the 10s need to digest a little more before we do 'em

My favourite discovery from this poll was the Johnny Boy song. Love that song!

This might actually be true for me too.
