Best Song of 2000: Heat #8

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Still D.R.E., Spinning Around and The Real Slim Shady led the pack in Heat #7, while Stronger and Stan fought off a last minute surge by The Bad Touch to join them in the 2000 final.

Last heat today! And there are some proper bangers below the cut...

• You get a maximum of TEN TICKS over the three bits of the poll. The top five will go through to the next stage.

• Rep for your favourites in the comments!

[Poll #1423267]

You have until Friday lunchtime to vote, at which point I'll post a full list of the qualifiers for the 2000 final. HOWEVER we're not going to be voting on that straight away (to try and avoid tick-fatigue on the same songs). Instead, next week we're going to start nominations for 2001. There will be a slight change in nomination procedure (more details to follow) but there'll still be plenty of time to get your thinking caps on.

i just dont understand how you can smile with all those tears in yr eyes

Tbh I've never heard another song by Everclear. Wonderful was a moderate hit here and it's got just the right sort of balance of tweeness and powerpop, mixed with the correct emotional cocktail for the age I was at the time, to still make me choke up a bit like a MASSIVE GIRL.

Seriously, you'd probably like the rest of the album it's from - it is very much something that meant a lot at the time, and there are some horrible songs on it alongside the good ones, but it feels right, and slightly special.

Also, it features a cover of Brown-Eyed Girl.

There are only TWO horrible songs on pt1, which is a pretty good hit rate for Everclear! And yes, Moggy, do listen to the rest of the album; I am such a massive girl about it I can barely form a critical response, but I do think you would enjoy it.

I love So Much For The Afterglow. Here's "I Will Buy You A New Life."
