poptimistsLet's pause a moment to reflect on Now 57, which saw our second ever 100% vote - for "Toxic" - and also the highest ever percentage score for a non-winner ("Milkshake"). We will not see its like again. Probably.
And now for Now 58 - also packed with fine tracks, with attention surely resting onthe debut of Kristian Leontiou the SONG THAT BROKE THE INTERWEB, Outkast's "Ha Yeah". Included somewhat late on this Now poll, which otherwise celebrates the summer of '94. Let's see what you think about it.
[Poll #771642]
TICK ME.

Date: 2006-07-17 01:16 pm (UTC)I think 'Hey Ya' is v good but am also prepared to withdraw my vote for it because it is nowhere near even the top 10 best songs on this.

Date: 2006-07-17 01:23 pm (UTC)Are Outkast innovative? Their sound/perspective/etc. seemed quite fresh to me. The particular argt that rubbed people the wrong way in 03 though was using Outkast's - or specifically Andre 3000's - particular innovations as a way of dismissing or downplaying everything else in hip-hop. You can call something innovative without implying that it's a set of innovations that other workers in the genre should try and follow.
That said it's odd that more groups haven't tried to make a "Hey Ya!".
It is virtually impossible now to get any cash for a copy of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, by the way.

Date: 2006-07-17 01:30 pm (UTC)some people thought this BEFORE 'Stankonia' you know. not me tho really but only because i'd only heard their singles up to that point (which always WERE actually quite novel and scintillating - esp. the druggy 'Elevators' - to the extent that they had not managed to break into UK charts prior to 'B.O.B.' strangely and sadly)

Date: 2006-07-17 04:21 pm (UTC)The Show is the best GA track but there's still LOVE MACHINE to come, surely a potential winner if ever there was one?
Re: Anything but "Some Girls"
Date: 2006-07-17 05:16 pm (UTC)'Love Machine' should surely win, competition pending? It seems that the Poptimist tendency is to rate the big chorus over the weird sounds, and 'Love Machine' has maybe the biggest chorus evah.
