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.
Re: GOOD
Date: 2006-07-17 01:18 pm (UTC)IT'S NOT RACIST TO UNTICK HEY YA!
The song I actually want to hear most right now is...

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 01:25 pm (UTC)Has there ever been a lower-impact decade-long career than Our Beverly's?
Re: GOOD
Date: 2006-07-17 01:27 pm (UTC)I can't believe I actually own S/TLB - the reason I have not tried to sell it is because I do not know where it is.
Re: Beverly Knight - Come As You Are
Date: 2006-07-17 01:28 pm (UTC)'Shoulda Woulda Coulda' is a fine fine song! I can't remember this one though.
