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.

ABC News picks "Let's Make Love And Listen Death From Above" as one of its Singles Of The Year! Check video on top of the right-hand column.

That list was put together by Chuck Eddy according to the associated article, which might explain it. Assuming that the top singles & albums of 2006 list is the same as that video but in article form. I can't watch the video here at work.

Well, the vid just does singles and selects, like, actual singles rather than Trent and Rodney album tracks that he just felt like listing, or Poni Hoax songs from 2005. Xhuxk's own self-evaluation (under the heading "highly embarrassing ABC News top five singles of the year clip") goes "My hair is a mess, they spell my name wrong, I repeat myself too much (i.e. by saying the Pack has four members twice), they stupidly didn't use clips from the great CSS video, I forget when talking about 'Before He Cheats' that he already cheated on her, I pretend 'LDN' has burglars in its lyrics, and so on. Oh well."

Part of the "and so on" would be that they used the visuals from "Smile" rather than "LDN" - but those visuals are so technicolor good that they kinda work, even while having nothing to do with the song.
