Best Song of 2001: Heat #2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Destiny's Child lead the way once again, with MOP, So Solid Crew, Mis-teeq and Daft Punk slipping in behind them to make the 2001 final.

More big hitters in round 2!

[Poll #1432757]

*Bob's 'Can We Fix It' was nominated, but technically only number one for a few days in 2001 so I've slotted in firm 2001 chart-topper Mambo No.5 in its place as requested. The fact that this is out of alphabetical order is symptomatic of my spreadsheet-organisation skills rather than any deep conspiracy.

i have to rep a couple of tracks which seem to stand no chance at all here

Daylight is one of my all time favourite tracks, and i can't believe it only has 3 votes. No official video, but this is pretty entertaining instead

Great use of a sample, and those lyrics
"All i ever wanted was to pick apart the day put the pieces back together my way"
"Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman, you only call her a bitch cos she wouldn't let you get that pussy"
a perfect record

My other rep is for muse, not surprised its not doing that well as it wasn't even a single

Particularly love this song for the coda which starts around 5 minutes in and completely changes the feel of the song. One to listen to all the way through even if it is 7 mins long

ah well, no way either of them are going to make it through to the next round...

how do you embed youtube links ?

Re: repping

Just copy & paste the embed code in the grey box to the right of the Youtube page - the one starting with <object width="425" height="344">) straight into the comment field, and it should work (as long as the vid doesn't have embedding disabled).

I did like that Muse album a lot at the time - I still have it somewhere - but got totally stuck on learning the guitar riff to Plug In Baby so neglected most of the non-single tracks.
