Best track from the ILM 2010s decade TRACK poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

An equivalent album poll is in progress and several expressed interest in a tracks poll.

Forty-seven tracks received just one 1st, 2nd or 3rd place vote and no other support whatsoever.

In the words of octobeard on the other poll, this poll lets you decide whether that laser beam of passion is full of fortune or folly. (Or at the very least convey which track you think is best of the bunch!)

very easily kara - "step" but shout out to sicko mobb - "remember me" too

ufo, Saturday, 27 August 2022 08:39 (two years ago)

I see I've made the voting period only half as long as the albums one so don't hesitate too long!

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:03 (two years ago)

If I rememberd to participate in this poll Perfume - ナチュラルに恋して (Natural ni Koishite) wouldn't be a part of this thread. It's the classic of all Perfume classics.

abcfsk, Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:10 (two years ago)

Zone 1 to 6000 was mine so am voting for that but the Perfume and Wharves tracks are also really great (the Wharves one was totally new to me from the nominations playlist and almost made my ballot so thank you to the person who nominated it).

Gavin, Leeds, Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:31 (two years ago)

cool poll! and unlike the accompanying album poll my mouth starts to water when I see some of these tracks, so I made a Spotify playlist for this. It features all but five of the tracks:

ILM 2010s decade TRACK poll: tracks that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

not on Spotify:
6. Young Thug - Stoner (1st)
18. Tom Zanetti ft. Kokane & Lorenzo - Darlin' (2nd) 36. Roll Deep - Green Light (Ill Blu Remix) (3rd) (the original and some other remixes are available tho)
38. Sicko Mobb - Remember Me (3rd)
45. Broke One - The Empire (3rd)

included here, but not in ufo’s master Track Nominations playlist, so maybe not available in some regions:
28. Deerhunter - Fountain Stairs (2nd)
34. Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant to Be (3rd)

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:45 (two years ago)

I will obviously vote for my own number three, Wizkid’s “Ojuelegba”, the new Nigerian national anthem as its often called, but there are several other tracks here that were on my own longlist (“Di mi nombre”, “Break Free”), and many others that are just begging me to play them.

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:48 (two years ago)

Cool! Thanks breastcrawl.

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:50 (two years ago)

28. Deerhunter - Fountain Stairs (2nd)
34. Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant to Be (3rd)

i must have just missed these when putting the playlist together, they're available here fine & i added others from the same album at some point

ufo, Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:54 (two years ago)

oh, there is are two versions of Tom Zanetti’s “Darlin’” available on my Spotify too, but I’m not sure either of these is the correct version. seem to remember it went through some permutations through the years. might add it later should I get clarity.

this is the version (from 2015, it says) on my Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5QBmJaX3G4bG1h2thkzEmP?si=HaCpKLWiTYqi8G-RgzrEhw

perhaps the voter could shine their light on the matter?

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 09:57 (two years ago)

Hi breastcrawl, that seems to be the right version of Darlin', yes - I don't have a Spotify account to check for sure but it's the same length (5.23) and image as the version on Youtube which is the one I was thinking of when I voted.

I always find it difficult to describe why I enjoy music, why is why I don't post much, but Darlin' positively throbs with energy, both the lean production and Zanetti's vocal which is just the right side of sleazy.

I was the sole voter for Like A G6 too. It's a very silly record that makes me inordinately happy.

Twelves, Saturday, 27 August 2022 11:31 (two years ago)

One of those whys should be a which, but you get my point. Hungover.

Twelves, Saturday, 27 August 2022 11:39 (two years ago)

I'm sure a lot of these are good songs that I just haven't heard, but I'm voting for "Black Thread" because I have heard it and it's awesome (although "What a Time to Be Alive" would be my pick from that album)

Stoner

billstevejim, Saturday, 27 August 2022 12:36 (two years ago)

"Stoner" would also be my vote if my #1 wasn't already in this list

Vinnie, Saturday, 27 August 2022 12:46 (two years ago)

Twelves, I added the 2015 “Darlin’” to the playlist.

I think I was actually thinking of his “You Want Me”, which placed at 62 in our 2012 EOY, but didn’t become a UK hit until 2016 in a different version.
but “Darlin’” as well is originally from 2013 and only got a mainstream release in 2015.

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 12:49 (two years ago)

If I weren't voting for my 3rd pick 'The Empire' I'd vote 'Zone 1 To 6000' which is v much 4 the Real Lies crowd and as it's a quick poll but I'll listen to everything else and report back on any usurpers

nashwan, Saturday, 27 August 2022 14:02 (two years ago)

Catcall - Swimming Pool (Julian Mendelsohn Extended Mix) was mine, just the platonic ideal of a drawn out Balearic bliss pop remix.

pretty cool that there are so many of these tho

or something, Saturday, 27 August 2022 14:08 (two years ago)

i'm a stoner i'm a stoner i'm a stoner

comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Saturday, 27 August 2022 15:37 (two years ago)

i'm responsible for both "stoner" and "black thread" lol

i'm not surprised about the lack of support for the latter, an incredible song but somewhat of an obscurity buried on a latter day superchunk album. but the former is a legitimately game-changing record

comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Saturday, 27 August 2022 15:42 (two years ago)

not on Spotify:
6. Young Thug - Stoner (1st)
18. Tom Zanetti ft. Kokane & Lorenzo - Darlin' (2nd) 36. Roll Deep - Green Light (Ill Blu Remix) (3rd) (the original and some other remixes are available tho)

stoner is on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1jROHCeEzDr6VnV8EnBnik?si=34c11f9e598f4706

maybe not available in all regions?

comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Saturday, 27 August 2022 15:44 (two years ago)

lol my votes represented here twice and in the accompanying albums equivalent. well i do live on an island i suppose.
i don't know if voting for one of the tracks i chose is the done thing but i will vote gucci 'making love to the money' cos gucci p much owned my 2010-2012 and the following always makes me smile

White lion in the house we named it Miley Cyrus
She never talk back baby very private
Got me talking shit but she kinda quiet

oscar bravo, Saturday, 27 August 2022 16:01 (two years ago)

no, “Stoner” not available where I am, and neither where ufo is.
just a remix with Wale
and there’s also a Gucci Mane (!) track called “Stoner 2 Times” with Thug on it

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 17:08 (two years ago)

added your grayed out link anyway, for those able to play it

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 17:15 (two years ago)

enjoying the different you’ve got the look - let’s get to fucking scenarios of Roll Deep’s “Green Light”, Grind Mode’s “I’m So High” (from a different current thread, sorry for mingling) and Zanetti’s “Darlin’”. “Like A G6”, “Break Free” and Djedjotronic’s “Kaikō” fit in with those mood and/or soundwise as well, as do the KARA, Perfume and Hyolyn tracks.

”Ojuelegba” doesn’t, but don’t let that stop you from voting for it!

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 17:40 (two years ago)

in fact, the original “Green Light” is such an high-energy banger (and such an ultimate 2010 concoction) that I decided to add it to the list as well.
I actually preferred it to the nominated Ill Blu remix when I played both versions earlier, which surprised me, cause I love me some Ill Blu.

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 27 August 2022 17:47 (two years ago)

"stoner 2 times" is also a good song

comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Saturday, 27 August 2022 18:10 (two years ago)

This is tough as my 1-2-3 only received my vote. XX, Joe Goddard and Bill Wells/Aidan Moffatt respectively.

I guess I should vote for The XX but they are all special to me so will ruminate on it.

Dan Worsley, Saturday, 27 August 2022 19:01 (two years ago)

Whelp I'm on this list with the Rosalía track - that's where my vote is heading!

octobeard, Saturday, 27 August 2022 19:14 (two years ago)

Lol I have two on this list!

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 27 August 2022 19:55 (two years ago)

Just realised I do too, the Catcall remix and the System 7 remix

or something, Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:04 (two years ago)

I received so much flak over “ruining” other polls with my weirdo taste in music that I’m not even going to say which were mine

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 27 August 2022 20:12 (two years ago)

The (Mr) Twin Sister track was my #1, a year before their duff debut album, and five years before they got big on here, but this was the moment I got into new music again after x years away, and it's still my top track of all time on last.fm

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 27 August 2022 21:54 (two years ago)

KARA - STEP - part of that wonderful period when Sweetune productions were in step with popular taste and we got bangers like this from several groups.

abcfsk, Sunday, 28 August 2022 17:52 (two years ago)

I really like Remember Me, and might have voted for the first Sicko Mobb mixtape if it had been nominated, but this one clearly goes to Natural ni Koishite.

Frederik B, Sunday, 28 August 2022 17:54 (two years ago)

* casually bumps thread, seeing as I made the deadline fairly tight *

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 31 August 2022 02:53 (two years ago)

I am feeling good tonight
This thing got me thanking God for life
I can’t explain, I can’t explain

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 31 August 2022 05:47 (two years ago)

Have discovered and rediscovered a number of great songs listening to the playlist. Favorite discovery has been Perfume - ナチュラルに恋して (Natural ni Koishite).

Indexed, Wednesday, 31 August 2022 12:10 (two years ago)

playlist has been great

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 31 August 2022 13:34 (two years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Friday, 2 September 2022 00:01 (two years ago)

oh, two of these are mine, figured the Radio Dept would end up here but kinda surprised about PJ Harvey

sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Friday, 2 September 2022 15:25 (two years ago)

Relieved I’m not the only one with two in here!!

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 2 September 2022 23:38 (two years ago)
