The History Of Jop Part 26 aka You leave me broken shattered I lie

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

2004 is now THREE YEARS AGO (sort of) - our possibly penultimate pazz and jop ponderations will let you relive that golden or otherwise era. You get THIRTEEN from thirty-eight picks: Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name" and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" turned up last time so are omitted this.

Poptimism Of Times Past - 2003 Edition

1. Crazy In Love (43 votes)
2. Milkshake (37)
3. Cry Me A River (35)
4=. Ignition (Remix) (31)
4=. Hey Ya! (31)
6. Move Your Feet (30)
7=. Hurt (27)
7=. I Luv U (27)
9=. In Da Club (24)
9=. Danger High Voltage (24)
9=. Rock Your Body (24)
9=. Pass That Dutch (24)

This scientifically confirms my empirical findings at the work Xmas party viz that "Crazy In Love" is much loved again but that people are bored of "Hey Ya". This one will run and run.

"Redneck Woman" even got a BOSH VERSION! on one of the Remixland eurotrance compilations. Have I ever posted that? I will try and remember to tonight.

I'd love to hear Gretchen boshed. My liking towards "Redneck Woman" and my irritation by it are evenly balanced. What a blowhard! I prefer "When It Rains" ("When it rains, I pour") and "Here For The Party" and "The Midnight Oil"*; in all of those she's less intent on heaving voice and body and social signifiers all over us, more relaxed, yet doesn't lose her energy.

"In The Midnight Oil" is my favorite track from the Mandrell tribute LP that came out recently. How can we sleep when our beds are cheating? (More or less.)
