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.

... check the extent to which poor Craig David's stock has plummeted here.

(Wrong song here really. If Seven Days had been picked I'd have ticked it).

It's the cowboy one with the acoustical guitar sample.

It's funny how a lot of the late Madge singles, including really great ones like this, get totally forgotten (same thing with Sorry, which I think is excellent but never ever remember) - lost in the clutter, I think.

I didn't forget it, I think it's FANTASTIC, and it was pretty ubiquitous at the time - it's just that it didn't fit into any of the trends going on at the time. And people remember what was GENERALLY happening over random nothing-to-do-with-this moments of brilliance.
