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.

I think Trackness and Bestness would both be contributing factors.

"Crazy" got one nomination, "LDN" two, though "Smile" got one as well.

Thanks god there's no Crazy or Lallen in here as either would win hands doing and that would be broing.

No, I think CSS wins anyway, because we, after all, discovered them. (Well, that's what it felt like, when Brazil came flying to victory in Round One of the Pop World Cup.)

That was certainly when I first heard the song - I can't remember who was Brazil?

Did "Don't Save Me" get any nominations? That's the other obvious missing track. Well that and some of the Bouncy's and "SexyBack" and "Promiscuous" and "Monster" and...

Also, why "We Are Your Friends" rather than "Hustler"?

Re: What is meaning of "Track Of The Year"?

DSM - one I think.
No Bouncy noms anywhere!
No SexyBack but "My Love" got one.
"Promiscuous" got one.
"Monster" got two, as did the Aly and AJ Xmas song and "Nth Degree".

Which Aly & A.J. Xmas song? Both "Greatest Track Of The Year" and "Not This Track" have gotten Poptimist love. (Their "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is nice, too. Better than Aimee Mann's, that's for sure.)

Not This Year

I think I nominated Grebtest TrackTime as well

One of the "Not This Year" nominations was from me, I think.
