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)

6. B.O.B. (31)
7=. The Real Slim Shady (29)

My pazzly and jopsky ballot, 2001

1. Missy Misdemeanor Elliott -- "Get Ur Freak On" (Gold Mind/Elektra) -- any version, all versions
2. Eve -- "Who's That Girl" (Ruff Ryders/Interscope)
3. Montgomery Gentry -- "Cold One Comin' On" (Columbia)
4. Backbone -- "5 Deuce-4 Tre" (Uptown/Universal)
5. Trace Adkins -- "I'm Tryin'" (Capitol)
6. Ludacris featuring Pharrell -- "Southern Hospitality" (Def Jam South/Universal)
7. The Color Guard -- "Not My Valentine" (Suziblade Music)
8. Pink -- "Get the Party Started" (Arista)
9. Destiny's Child -- "Survivor" (Columbia)
10. Lil' Romeo -- "My Baby" (SME/Priority)

(Speaking of actually good indie, "Not My Valentine" is Raincoats-type pick-up-sticks-and-build-it-anew pop, something between a sob and a slash. Discovered after reviewing it that the lead singer was dating my editor. Even better was the Gore Gore Girls' "Hunt You Down," a sobber-slasher meant to sound like the Stooges and actually does sound like the Stooges. Wasn't a single, however.)
