The History Of Jop Part 23 aka Copywritten so don't copy me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly the last Pazz and Jop poll for a little while - 2001: A Jop Odyssey.

You get THIRTEEN ticks - Coldplay's "Yellow" is #5 in this poll but you got the chance to vote for it last time so it's left out.


[Poll #873942]


Let's All Vote Jop In The Year 2000

1. Say My Name (42 votes)
2. Oops I Did It Again (39)
3. Ms Jackson (38)
4=. Try Again (37)
4=. Independent Women Part 1 (37)
6. B.O.B. (31)
7=. The Real Slim Shady (29)
7=. Jumpin Jumpin (29)
9=. Stan (27)
9=. Forgot About Dre (27)

The only one of 42 tracks not to get a tick was "I Wish" by R Kelly.

2001

I appreciate that 2001 wasn't a particularly brilliant year for the world but I remember it quite fondly - ILX in full golden age flow, so much great music, the launch of Sussed/Club FT/Poptimism, the picnic in the sky,personal productivity pretty high, personal life somewhat ruinous but from my happy vantage point now that doesn't seem as bad.

it was not a great year for me in terms of my life but like you the sheer volume of amazing music also makes me think back on it very fondly.

I actually had to think for a bit about what you meant by "not a brilliant year for the world".

Aaliyah RIP :(

It appears not to be a year about which there is much to say!

Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige are getting diddled, and I won't be able to defend them because I have to go and have a tooth pulled out :(

I can't think of much to say which hasn't been said, otherwise!

likewise this was an amazing year for me apart from losing my job and 6 months of trying to deal with that, and obv. world events messing everything up forever.

the pop speaks for itself tho - so much great stuff.
