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!

1 Elliott, Missy Lose Control (Jacques Lu Cont Remix)
2 Rihanna Pon De Replay
3 Killers, The Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix)
4 Backstreet Boys Incomplete
5 Maxi Geil & Playcolt Makin' Love In The Sunshine
6 Amerie 1 Thing
7 Vitalic My Friend Dario
8 Stevens, Rachel I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)
9 Kelly, R. In The Kitchen
10 Weezer Beverly Hills

I voted for Kelly in '04 so I figured that would get counted in '05 too. I feel like I was being a little grumpy with these votes, but I think it was more of a case of a bunch of different things could have gone after the top 3, and those were just the luck of the draw. I do still think "Incomplete" got shortchanged, though.

"Incomplete" is good, but I definitely prefer "Just Want You To Know", which was a contender for my top 10 until the very end (when I decided to bump it in favor of "Wake Up").
