The History Of Jop Part 27 aka She got one of your kids got you for 18 years

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

And now - the final* Pazz and Jop poll. 2005 - seems like it was yesterday eh?

You have thirteen ticks across 39 boxes - the holdover from last year that I left out was "Galang", if you're interested.


[Poll #904749]


*or potentially penultimate, but I suspect the discussion of the New Times PJ poll will be along the lines of the JP one i.e. poll-free.

2004: Joptimists Verdict

1. Toxic (52 votes - offhand I can't remember anyone ever getting more, and certainly the 91% is huge)
2. Take Me Out (43)
3. What You Waiting For? (38)
4. Chewing Gum (37)
5=. 99 Problems (36)
5=. Galang (36)
7. Heartbeat (33)
8. Drop It Like It's Hot (27)
9. Yeah (Usher) (26)
10. Somebody Told Me (25)

And that's it. If anyone has any ideas for flagship poll series I will take them under consideration!

Well I'm offended by both in that I think the Kaiser Chiefs are outstandingly awful, but I wasn't offended ideologically by I Predict a Riot. I was offended by Wait, even if I was persuaded that it wasn't necessarily meant to be offensive in that way. So I'd say yes to your question!

I defer to the SongMeanings board on these sorts of issues:
I Predict A Riot (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858521822)

I ticked it mainly because of the GA live cover version. TUNE innit.

STILL never heard the YY Twins one.
