If your nomination isn't on there then it's probably been shoved over to 2002: there are only about half a dozen tracks this applies to and in most cases I've tried to make the nominator aware of them so it doesn't use up their ten votes. Though now is a good time to point out any idiotic mistakes I've made!

There's still time to nominate (please comment on the original post, not this one) - I'll post a reminder in the middle of next week.

Comments

Oh No

[strange-powers.livejournal.com]

Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

dunno if I'll get the chance to vote next week due to holidays...what days will the heats be on?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I'm not likely to put the first heat up before next Friday, so you'll have until the Tuesday after that to vote. If you like you can work out which songs begin with 'A' and tell me your ticks in advance :)

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

ah no i'll be able to wait until a week on Sunday/Monday no probs

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Wow, didn't even think D-Plan had "single" singles from Change! Glad someone nommed "Following Through."

[gingermint.livejournal.com]

that was me. i don't think we're going by "singles." at least, i'm not. (nor even by "pop" per se, though maybe i'm not playing the game right.) anyway "Following Through" is one of my official favorite songs ever (and easily my favorite thing on Change.)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Non-singles are fine, as long as they were released at some point that year. Pop content = completely unnecessary :)

Ambushed by unexpected ticking

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Let's launch "Teenage Dirtbag" to the top!

Re: Ambushed by unexpected ticking

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I haaaaaate 'Teenage Dirtbag' so much!

(Haven't so much as looked at the noms yet - not tactically holding out but it'll turn out well w/r/t that anyway!)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

My Tarkan and Toby K noms were either redundant or disqualified so I believe I have two more picks, in which case:

Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
Destiny's Child - Nasty Girl

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

OK, they're now IN.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

so wait, what are we doing about bootlegs then?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Nominate them and I'll see if I can find a release date for them :)

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

nommed, realised that *a lot* of them were 2002 though...

[justfanoe.livejournal.com]

This list lacks "When God Fearin Women Get the Blues" by Martina McBride, which I nominated. I can't think of a reason why it would have gotten pushed to 2002.

(Given the pitiful performance of country music in the 2000 poll, it has no shot, but it's the principle!)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Sorry, my fault there (can't blame everything on the spreadsheet...) It's now in.

Stop, Collaborate, Listen (On Spotify)

[meserach.livejournal.com]

Started a new collaborative playlist for these 2001 tracks. Here it is:

http://open.spotify.com/user/meserach/playlist/1JGDSaIs6dsvK4wA0ZB2wG

Anyone can add new tracks to this playlist. Please endeavour to add all the tracks above plus any others nominated. By all measn just add your personal faves, but I'll also be very grateful for anyone wiling to work systematically (do all the Bs, say).

I'll be filling it out periodically from here on.

hard to explain?

[gingermint.livejournal.com]

shouldn't there be more strokes here? i thought "last nite" and "hard 2 xpln" were nommed... they didn't peak in 02 did they? they were certainly all over 01 in the states.

Re: hard to explain?

[gingermint.livejournal.com]

oh whoops. just alphabetized under "the" rather than "strokes" (unlike "NYC cops")

Re: hard to explain?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my fault that - I've gone through my spreadsheet since & cross-checked for spelling/punctuation. I feel all schoolteacher-y :)
