Poptimists 2006 Poll: Lifetime Achievement / Track Of The Year

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately I'm too busy to do the nice picture banner at the top of the post today, but here are the final two categories in the End of Year poll - as ever, multiple nominations gained you a place, in the case of "Track Of The Year" you needed a mighty THREE different poptimists to rep you, in the case of Lifetime Achievement, well erm yes.

The Lifetime Achievement contestants should need no introduction, even to the Lex. The Track of the Year nominees should also be familiar to most, though hopefully someone less hassled than me will get an opportunity to post YouTube/MySpace/etc links.

Thanks for nominating, voting, and especially commenting on the awards - they've been some very good threads. Normal services return next week, most likely.

Cassie meh? I can see how someone might dislike it, but it's awfully striking! (What is the accepted def'n of "meh"? Mine is "kinda like so-what.")

Well then, maybe "meh" is the wrong word. Anyways, I've listened to it a bunch of times and the melody and lyrics have yet to grab me at all, though I do like the instrumental riff. I was just using "meh" to mean that I don't care for the songs very much.

I'd go with 'meh'. Slow, decent melody+snares, lots of elements (string stabs, 80s synths, blurty bass) but dropped in randomly, and none of them good enough to be a proper hook.
