2002

... was also the year ILM was in full-on canon-forming critical overdrive, and that's reflected here quite strongly I think. I remember the epic threads on almost all these singles, and a lot of them in retrospect seem really epochal, partly due to the mass of debate that surrounded them.

I wonder if some of these records, especially Andrew WK but possibly the bootlegs as well, would have appeared here otherwise.

Ah now more than anything, Andrew WK needs no explanation.

The Year Popism Broke

Yeah this was an ILM golden year - it's weird actually, looking at this list I remember ILM in full on enthusiasm OMG mode, and looking at the 2003 list I remember the huge arguments more than anything (this is partly because of 2003's #1 single of course).

Thing is I don't actually believe music is less amazing now - it's just that ILM is much more crap.
