(EDIT: Had problems with this poll when it first went up, had to delete and start over. Sorry for confusion, please vote again if you already had!)


Okay, so it was pretty close in the second chance poll there dudes! It was tied at the top between Alizee and The Bloodhound Gang, and there ended up being a three-way tie for fourth and fifth between "Bound 4 Da Reload", "Hip Hop" and "Simon Says". Poised between them in third was Darude's "Sandstorm".

Hence, all six of them end up in this little final! But: which is BEST? You have one and only one vote!

[Poll #1427291]

I'll give you until.... oooh, how about Tuesday lunchtime? Happy voting!

I'm not sure I want to choose.

BUT THOU MUST

Yeah, it's essentially evil. They are all very different flavours of very good thing, too. I wouldn't blame anyone for abstaining.

So hard to pick between Alizee, Dead Prez and Pharaohe Monch... went for the Pharaohe out of bloody-mindedness.

I went for the one I most want to listen to again right NOW. Sorry Darude.

Surely not even the staunchest defender of The Bad Touch as Important can stretch to claiming that it's Very Good?

[meserach.livejournal.com]

Well... I'm not voting for it myself. But it is good at what it does.

SIMON SAYS VOTE FOR THIS SONG :)

[meserach.livejournal.com]

I am stuck between it and the Alizee, with Hip Hop as a close second...

[meserach.livejournal.com]

Okay, I switched for now but I can and will switch back to block the Bloodhound Gang :).

[meserach.livejournal.com]

Hmm, so if we can get the Darude, Oxide & Neutrino and Pharahoe Monch voters to converge on one candidate, they can rival Alizee. All they gotta do is agree!

(Preferably on Simon Says)

Strategic ''more people will go for the bloodhound gang than pharoahe monche so defeating alizee more likely from that position vote' being SWITCHED. come on, poptimists, it is AMAZING

I love moi lolita, I've probably played it 100 times, I own two alizee albums, but Sandstorm is probably the best song in the best genre, ever?

The dead prez record is pretty awful, to my ears - I'd like to hear why people voted for it? Though nobody did, here, at least.

[mostlyconnect.livejournal.com]

It's very good! I'm always amazed by what a technically good record (catchy, sure, but also exciting - the guitars go a long way!) it is, beneath the dumbness.

A lot of people aren't voting for Hip Hop right now because they consider it a 1999 track rather than 2000.

Why is it good?

Because you nod your head in time with that slow roll of a beat and feel that slow deceptive hum slide through you, almost like feedback in the background but still with subtle shifts in tone.

Because that refrain: bigger than hip.. hop.. hip.. hop.. The delay is just perfect; lazy yet insistent, like a warm summer evening where it's too hot to really /dance/ but you can still /bounce/, still /move/.

Because one thing about music: when it hit you feel no pain.
