Tonight we're gonna party like it's 2009
May. 26th, 2009 02:56 pmIt's been a while since we've had a big knockout poll competition, and I think I've got the perfect idea. As you may or may not be aware, the end of the decade is nigh. What better way to celebrate than to do a massive poll and spin it out for 6 months?
Let's find out what the best song of the decade is!
We'll do this one year at a time at first (obviously we've only had half of 2009 yet so that can wait until last) and spend a few weeks on each one to make sure we get plenty of nominees to discuss.
- Each year poll will have a nominations post and a poll post.
- Once the year polls are done, I can work out a suitably complicated way of selecting high-scoring nominees for the grand final in December.
- You can nominate as many songs as you like - if there's too many to fit in one poll I shall do HEATS mwahahahahah *rubs hands together*.
- Vociferous defense/attack of all nominees very welcome!
- A nominated song needn't have charted anywhere, as long as it was released somewhere that year.
- Obviously 'year of release' is subject to re-releases, different countries, being the 4th single off an album etc. If in doubt as to the year of release, nominate it in the earliest sensible year and if anyone makes a fuss we'll move it to the next poll. Anyone nominating a Robyn track can probably pluck a year out of thin air and it'll be fine.
- Terms and conditions subject to change if I've forgotten something important!
So what are we waiting for? Let's get started!
NOMINATIONS IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE: What are/were your favourite songs of 2000?
