Hurrah, all of mine are winning with 100%! First time I've been first in on one of these...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

We seemed to agree on most of these!

That was a hard poll - very sorry to say goodbye to MOP on the last tick.

WOW

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

All bow down before the turn of the century, innit.

Apart from two awful sore thumbs...it's basically solid gold until MOP.

I feel sad that I had to leave Jay-Z, Macy G and MOP unticked :(

Re: WOW

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Gah, I forgot about Dre too :(

Re: WOW

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

BEST POLL EVER. Clearly.

There's so much goodness and I feel sad I had to pull the trigger on DMX right at the end.

Re: WOW

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Racist.

Let me see that tick...

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

... all you people not ticking the Thong Song better explain yourselves.

I'm-a bang 'til the springs in this thing start squeaking.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

"Ante Up" is the only record that will appear on these lists that will ever come close to my top 50 ever.

The most important...

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

... surely this is Stan? Not only was it #1 but there aren't many other tracks to have singlehandedly launched the career of a hugely successful if rub artist?

Re: The most important...

[juror8.livejournal.com]

First Shady, then Boreanz... Dido's always been given the rub by another artist.

Re: The most important...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

haha I thought you meant Eminem for a second there!

Re: The most important...

[koganbot]

Nah, she was already getting attention for Faithless.

Re: The most important...

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Not only was it #1, it was Christmas #1!

Rock Off

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This was the big 'rock is dead' year I think - no surprise given that the best it could do was Queens Of The Stone Age and their novelty drug track. I larffed like a drain when I saw the NME had made it album of the year (well no, I got irrationally annoyed and wrote a blog post, probably).

Along similar lines, this is one of only two Sleater-Kinney tracks I've heard: don't like it at all.

Re: Rock Off

[juror8.livejournal.com]

S'weird that "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" is still taken as a classic of the genre by rock fans, but if you started raving about Mystikal or Dead Prez to the average rap head as being GOATs, they'd just glare at you.

Re: Rock Off

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

i) ROCK IS DEAD HURRAH - can we get back to this please
ii) ironically enough I think both token rock acts here, QOTSA and S-K, are very very good generally! Not good enough to come close to a tick, but they're basically the best the genre's come up with this decade.

ILHAN MIMAROGLU BAHA MEN?

Re: where is the love for

[koganbot]

I ticked 'em, but they were down at about 12.

just lost out with me to nsync

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Finally the critics seem to be taking notice of the good % of popular music, instead of the good % of music they like writing about in music magazines. THEORY: was Eminem way-paving in the last poll for the music press covering hip-hop/rnb/pop? (barring exceptions like TLC who obv never had as much success as Slim Shady did?) Alas I'm not massively qualified to answer this q as I have read about 4 music magazines in my life - am just interested as to what ppl who actually know what they're talking about think!

Hahahah Brothers In Rhythm has just come on my headphones. Brilliant.

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

Haven't hip-hop and rnb been doing well in the P&J since the 80s?

Pull Over, Yo Ass Too Fat

[koganbot]

My Pazz & Jop ballot, 2000

1. Eminem "The Real Slim Shady" (Web/Aftermath/Interscope)
2. Dr. Dre featuring Eminem "Forgot About Dre" (Aftermath/Interscope)
3. Jay-Z featuring UGK "Big Pimpin'" (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam)
4. Eminem f. Dido "Stan" (Web/Aftermath/Interscope)
Trina "Pull Over" (Slip n Slide/Atlantic)
6. Aaliyah "Try Again" (Blackground/Virgin)
7. Mya "Case of the Ex (Whatcha Gonna Do)" (University Music Entertainment/Interscope)
8. 'N Sync "Bye Bye Bye" (Jive)
9. DMX "Party Up" (Ruff Ryders/Def Jam)
10. Mya featuring Jadakiss "The Best of Me" (University Music Entertainment/Interscope)

For months I thought there was a group called "K. City X," and I thought it was a great name, but I wondered why, when they announced the group name, they never announced the song title.

And you told me that she turned trick when y'all broke up in '96

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

i) I have to quote that line every time 'Case Of The Ex' is mentioned
ii) WHY DID IT NOT MAKE THE LIST!

Earl walked right through that restraining order

[koganbot]

Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp? I'm guessing from the low vote count here that this didn't get much attention in the British Isles.

Re: Earl walked right through that restraining order

[juror8.livejournal.com]

"Goodbye Earl" is one of a number of songs that are more poignant in their Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover version (see also: "Wild World", "Take It On The Run")

My Own Top 25

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This was from NYLPM, which started in 2000.

25. SLIMM CUTTA CALHOUN - “It’s OK”
24. GOLDFRAPP - “Lovely Head”
23. BLACK BOX RECORDER - “Weekend” (the first-ever NYLPM entry!)
22. DEAD PREZ - “Hip Hop”
21. THE BETA BAND - “To You Alone”
20. PULP - “Sunrise” (live bootleg thing)
19. KIRSTY MacCOLL - “In These Shoes?”
18. AALIYAH - “Try Again”
17. DMX - “Party Up”
16. MAZARIN - “Wheats”
15. THE GO-BETWEENS - “Going Blind”
14. KELIS - “Caught Out There”
13. JESSICA SIMPSON - “I Think I’m In Love With You”
12. KID 606 vs NWA - “Straight Outta Compton”
11. JAY-Z - “Big Pimpin”
10. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - “There’s Too Much Love”
9. LE TIGRE - “Deceptacon”
8. DAPHNE AND CELESTE - “U.G.L.Y.”
7. THE MAGNETIC FIELDS - “Like A Move Star” (live bootleg thing)
6. LAMBCHOP - “Up With People”
5. ROBBIE WILLIAMS - “Rock DJ”
4. DAFT PUNK - “One More Time”
3. THE CLIENTELE - “(I Want You) More Than Ever” (studio and live)
2. EMINEM - “The Real Slim Shady”
1. OUTKAST - “Bombs Over Baghdad”

The placements of some of these are VERY surprising to me now - Robbie and Lambchop superhigh, Aaliyah superlow - and there are some bad omissions but I do still like all of these songs, which is more than I can say for the mid-90s lists.

Re: My Own Top 25

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

What was so special about that Kid606 Straight Outta Compton remix again? Wasn't it just the usual horrendous splatterbreaks sort of thing that the NME was going mad over around this time?
