Naturally, at the home of the LJ pop poll, we will be running a 2006 readers poll. Here is how it will work:

1. You fill in your nominations in the boxes below. Doesn't have to be your absolute final favourite thing (which someone else will probably nominate) (OR WILL THEY), just something you think should be on the ballot.

2. The erm Poptimists Academy Members winnow down the nominations into a ballot using a sekrit system known only to them. And by "them" I mean "me" though I might well involve notable regulars in the process for categories I am too much of a grandad to really understand (like this newfangled "video" thing).

3. In a highly argumentative series of polls we vote on one category a day to decide the OFFICIAL POLL WINNERS which will get posted on the front page, it not having been updated for an aeon. (If you are not on the Interweb between the Xmas and New Year period you can beam your votes for those polls across the gulf of space by brain power alone, or you can miss out.)


[Poll #888628]


Watch out tomorrow for the first of these polls. Ho yuss.

i'm sure there must be something else apart from the CSS alBUM i bought a couple of weeks ago...

...i BOUGHT the basement jaxx alBUM but that was for pete for his birthday, so i don't think it counts...

oh it looks like the life pursuit came out this year, pity it's sh!t...

Best thing to dance in 2006

Do you mean "Best thing to dance TO in 2006"? Otherwise I might have to nominate the monster in that Automatic song.

Bah like the anal retentive thoughtful poptimist I am I need to think about this carefully (ie overnight). Can you hold off the first poll until late-ish tomorrow?

Disagree. Nominees should be off the top of the old noggin, should be drawn from what's been leaping about people's consciousness.

I totally meant to look over what was new in 2006 last night and forgot. Eep. But I already know my top (empirical) song of the year is totally non-poptimist.
