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.

9 ticks on first sweep (although I may untick Daft Punk - how does Aerodynamic go?). I'll try to study the reps and the form carefully before making further decisions.

The Fennesz track is the pretty, non-glitchy one on Endless Summer that sounds like stammering vibraphones. I hope it gets a bit of love.

Can we all at least agree that 2001 was the best year of this decade?

Aerodynamic is the one with the classical-style guitar riff wot Myleene Klass plays on the piano in the Pantene advert.

^That didn't help. I had to go back to the CD. If you'd said "the one with Ted Nugent playing a Pachelbelesque Canon really fast interrupted by a tolling funeral bell", I might have got it. ;)

Anyhoo, this is by no means my fave track on Discovery, so will untick, although in retrospect I really should have nommed "High Life".
