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.

i don't know if The Strokes actually sold any more than Daft Punk tho. probably less.

and we all revere DP so much more than the Strokes now

plus which bands REALLY sounded like The Strokes anyway? i suppose it was more 'we can be retro but in a different way' general thing. but Coldplay and co. were bigger still.

Something I noticed at the time - and basically the core of why I liked the strokes - was the strong motorik backbeats they had going on. So maybe as well as a link to 'return of the guitar' they were a door-opener, audience-wise, for "disco-punk" too.

Also dude HAIRCUT INDIE.

i don't even know who the Haircut Indie bands are anymore! ha ha

i mean Franz Ferdinand sounded more influenced by Daft Punk than The Strokes, for example

So they may well have claimed. Actually hearing their record gives the lie to this!

take me out intro = the strokes omg11
take me out the rest of the song = daft punk!!111)

but yes...album overall admittedly owes more to Strokes i guess. i wish they'd done something that sounded EXACTLY like 'Aerodynamic' (er, see also The Darkness)

1st Franz alb has a track whose synth line sounds like it belongs on a Stacey Q alb. I can think of no higher praise for a synth line. (Unfortunately I don't remember the track title [think it's something written in Swiss] and my CDs are 2,000 miles away at the moment.)
