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.

For THE FIRST TIME EVER, the Top 7 in the NME poll are much better than the Top 7 in the Pazz and Jop poll.

PARTY HARD!

Actually, I like LOADS AND LOADS of that list. Although I suspect they feel silly putting Starsailor up there.

You are joking, right? What on EARTH?

The P&J top 7 includes four of the best songs ever recorded by humans ever - 'Get Ur Freak On', 'Fallin', 'Family Affair' and 'Izzo (HOVA)'. It also includes 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind' and 'Get The Party Started' which to this day will rock all dancefloors.

The NME differs with 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' which is admittedly brilliant but not a patch on 'Family Affair', Outkast which P&J covered the previous year, and three REALLY CRAP INDIE GUITAR ACTS which you SURELY cannot be serious in declaring superior to Mary J or Alicia or Jay-Z or Pink!!!!!!!!

There is nothing even slightly indie about Party Hard.

It got played at indie discos => it is indie and repulsive.

"Party Hard" is the only other song this year as single-minded in its pursuit of delirious mechanoid ecstasy as "Survivor".
