Hey Guys!
I’ve got “Walkabout” by Atlas Sound on my iPod, and the warm fuzzy sonic textures make it a treat to listen to. One song I haven’t seen on your lists yet is “Two Weeks” by Grizzly Bear. That jaunty piano riff that starts the song out and the infectious drumming make this a great song in my opinion. And even though he hasn’t put out any records in a year or so, I would definitely vote for Christopher Willits, especially his latest record, “Surf Boundaries”. Great sounds and experiments. Anyway, great job – the lists have been amazing!

I have been really impressed overall with the Top 50 so far, but the number 1 song is dreadful. Great job otherwise.
Loving all the selections but I’d say that Toro Y Moi remix of Feel It All Around You should be top 3 at least!
I really think Washed Out deserved that number 1 spot, but great list overall!
Where is Little f’n Dragon?
Yeah, Washed Out – Feel It All Around, great to see it up there, prob my number 1 (original that is)
That new Horrors track is extremely good. They have really evolved as a group, and for the better (I personally could not get into their first CD…way too meek). Primary Colours was excellent, can’t wait to get into their new work.
Definitely think washed out/toro y moi would be in my top 5 from this site.
I prefer Washington School over Walkabout all in all Atlas Sound still made it in the top selection.
your top song is good for me!
I want to check this my favorite song and PV!yes

I too have Washed Out – Feel It All Around in my #1, with Bullion – Time For Us All To Love in a close second. Great list, thanks to Jakub and ISO50 Blog for introducing me to so much good new music! What a great year of new tunes.
Love the bottom 49… #1 really was pretty hard for me to listen all the way through… Thanks for the list!
the drums/stupid is the best song of year??? it would not be the best song of an hour in my list
It’s been an interesting journey through your list, but that #1 song is awful. What were you thinking? I’d rather listen to the abysmal Vampire Weekend instead of this.
Broadcast — “The Be Colony”
That’s MY song of the year. Then again, your tastes are only very occasionally in line with my own.
Yeah agreed, the drums should not have made number 1.
Agreed with the above comments about song #1, but overall loved the list. The top 10 definitely needs some Grizzly Bear and, yes, some Little Dragon would have been nice too.
washed out has become one of my anthems in the past months. the video is pretty richter as well. check it out if you haven’t seen it. http://www.vimeo.com/6692499
Number one for this year would have to be
Jonathan Boulet – A Community Service Announcement (The Album Leaf Remix).
Was an epic top 50.
Listening to The Horrors – Whole New Way and then listening to the Saint Eteinne – The Palace track that you have in the play list on the upper right and I notice a very similar melody between the two… anyone else notice this?
the drums? really? I’m not sure why ripping off a genre that was terrible to begin with works 20 years later. at least the horrors are building on something.
rustie, fever ray, or grizzly bear could have taken #1 easily.
In defense of The Drums, Let’s Go Surfing was my #2 song of the year. aaand just for some context 😉
1. my girls/animal collective 2. letsgosurfing^ 3. walkabout/atlas sound 4.messy enough/the radio dept 5.rusty nails/moderat 6.happy house/the juan maclean 7.psychic chasms/neon indian 8.young adult friction/pains of being pure at heart 9.lover’s carving/bibio 10.claustrophobia/choir of young believers
All in all, LOVED your top 50 Jakub.

Hey Jakub, great top 50 list, I was wondering if you had plans to compile all top 50 into one ISO50 playlist? It would be pretty nice to just click play and hear em all in a row 🙂
