Best Song of 2001: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Ladies and gents, it's time for 2001: A Poll Odyssey! Mumpop fans are wailing and gnashing their teeth at the news that two of the top three album artists of the year (David Gray and Robbie Williams) are nowhere to be found in these heats, and the third (Dido) just scraped in by the skin of her teeth (courtesy of justfanoe). Can teenpop, hiphop and chart bosh save the day? There's only one way to find out.

So let's get cracking with a high-charting heat - ten top 5 hits and three number ones. Happy ticking!

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



• If you want to change your vote (or tick too many by mistake), you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.



• UK chart placings given in brackets.



• Rep for your favourites in the comments! Youtube embeds very welcome.

[Poll #1430999]

You have until next Tuesday lunchtime to vote.

I listened to it! This heat is too strong for a song I heard for the first time an hour ago though. I'm pleased it got represented though, esp as my Dungeon Family tracks never made it through the nomination process.

Frank do you know 'Before The Goodbye'? Is one of my fav Britney tracks EVER - heart-stopping electro-stutter caught-in-this-moment micro-details give way to a massive, gorgeous wash of electronics for the chorus, then back to the twitching intimacy, and then a FUCKING MASSIVE POUNDING HOUSE BEAT HALFWAY THROUGH. Produced by BT, really incredible stuff.

Ack! Shoulder is relapsing, I'm brooding about what Internet idiots are saying about me, I only got two and a half hours of sleep, so I'm having trouble bringing this into focus, but I think you're right about the stutters and fragments and detail yielding up a whole gorgeous Brit.
