The History Of Jop Epilogue AKA Who do you who do you who do you think you are?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Tiresome admin bit: I asked on Monday whether we should include the Jackin Pop 2006 results in the overall Pazz and Jop ones. Results were positive but not overwhelming, so I decided to do the poll anyway and if enough people fill it out to make it a comparable sample (hark at the market researcher) it'll count. Otherwise, it won't.

Anyway, 41 tracks, fourteen ticks, here you go.


[Poll #909183]


This also gives me the opportunity for the Joptimists 2005 Top 10!

1. Since U Been Gone (43 votes)
2. 1 Thing (41)
3. Hollaback Girl (34)
4. Hung Up (33)
5. Gold Digger (31)
6. Mr Brightside (26)
7=. I Predict A Lex Coronary (25)
7=. Pon De Replay (25)
9=. Feel Good Inc (24)
9=. Bucky Done Gun (24)

My choices have a distressing lack of nonyoung people and lack of people without vaginas. For P&J I swapped out "And Then We Kiss" for "London Bridge," which pushes the list older only slightly, and does nothing to overcome the dearth of penises. (Avg. age is 32 years younger than I; avg. sex is 75% less male than I.) If you go off-camera you do get some more grownups and more men - but even there, often enough, female-male combos are wielding chords and boards.
