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.

Of the ones I bumped, I probably regret leaving "Area Codes" off my list most, but not that much; might've picked the Britney or Fennesz over it, too. Also thought the Human League and Bran Van 3000 weren't awful. Afroman's rhythm sounded thinner and less organic than it had in my memory (still own a green vinyl 7-inch of it.) Really hated Busta's "Break Ya Neck," which just seemed like ugly unrocking speed-for-speed's sake, like 99% of hardcore punk. ("Ante Up" isn't as fast, obviously, but rocks a LOT harder.)
