Lamest Entry Ever

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I have now done a huge spreadsheet with all the Pazz and Jop data, and am prepared to do a gigantuous tournament poll by a complex method of my own choosing. I think this will be quite entertaining, as it's a wider range of music covered than the Now poll winners one.

Anyway you're getting one whether you like it or not. The question is, what do we do about the 06 entries? Do we wait a month or so until P&J under its new management comes out? Do we instead go with the self-claimed spiritual heir of the old P&J poll, Jackin Pop - OR do we ignore both and start the tournament polls tomorrow?

There is no option for "stop wasting your time doing polls". I find it oddly relaxing and quite therapeutic.

[Poll #907296]

Bonus content: these are the records which got NO votes at all on the Poptimists P&J polls.

Bob Dylan: "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar"
Deniece Williams: "Silly"
John Fogerty: "Rock & Roll Girls"/"Centerfield"
The Smithereens: "Blood and Roses"/"Behind the Wall of Sleep"
Bruce Springsteen: "War"/"Merry Christmas Baby"
Arrested Development: "Revolution"
R. Kelly: "I Wish"
U2: "Walk On"
R. Kelly: "Step in the Name of Love (remix)"
Jadakiss Featuring Anthony Hamilton: "Why?"
Common Featuring the Last Poets: "The Corner"

Definitely want a "worst" poll as well, even with a mere 11 songs. Some of these are pretty good, the two R. Kellys are listenable, the other Fogerty track isn't bad, ditto "Why." (Interesting possibilities: should you have us vote "worst" or "which of these aren't worst.) Suspect that some of these were just unheard, rather than widely disliked.

For the 'worst' poll I was thinking of using the "worst" questions I asked.
