Best Song of 2000: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Here we go dudes!

You get TEN TICKS IN TOTAL over the three bits of the poll. But only the top five will go through to the next stage so choose wisely!

If you change your mind, you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.

Ten ticks is the maximum but you may tick fewer if you find the list is uninspiring!

For your ticking pleasure, I've added the UK chart placing in brackets where applicable.

Explain your ticks (and your agonising decisions) in the comments!

My last tick, which is still up for grabs, was between Craig David, Wookie and *NSync - gave it to Wookie b/c I prefer the imminent 'Fill Me In' to '7 Days'.

FWIW I think the stone-cold no-excuses-for-not-ticking classics are 'Big Pimpin' and 'Country Grammar' here.

OH SHIT somehow I didn't see Oxide & Neutrino. Last tick not up for grabs any more, sorry Wookie! Unless I decide 'Bombs Over Baghdad' can do without me - it's a fab song but the Outkast crit-consensus this decade made me bored with them, and tbh I don't go back to them nearly as much as Jay-Z or Nelly.

I've never thought much of 'B.O.B.'

Heh, I only know the GRANGE HILL REMIX of 'Country Grammar'. But that's enough to guarantee a tick.

Which reminds me, will mashups be eligible for the 2001 poll?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Well, I think all the Soulwax ones would count (as 2002) as they're on Discogs. I think Discogs should be our rule of thumb here.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

agree - think discogs covers most white label stuff too.

not, from the vantage point of 2009, that I'll be ticking any mash-ups!

I've ticked "Big Pimpin'" but am holding off on "Country Grammar" which I like fine, but I've heard or remember only one-fifth of these, so I want to leave space in the event that the rest constitute a glut of unknown greatness.

The only reason I didn't tick Big Pimpin is because I assume it'll go through anyways and I wanted to throw a couple ticks to things that were getting no love otherwise.
