[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.

Hey, a lurker justifying their choices

[wholepint.livejournal.com]

So this is me being brave and explaining myself for once :)

I feel like I should probably drop out of the 2001 poll - simply because I still have big love for the two albums I was listening to that summer - Discovery and Rooty - and I'll just end up voting for DP and the Jaxx (before they went shit) in every poll... oh well! Except Broken Dreams is a pretty weak album track, nice melody but not much else.

I also can't do the 'go back and listen to these old tunes' thing because most of my internet time is at work in a quiet quiet office where headphones are frowned upon. Much as I would like to. So most of my choices in these polls are based on impulse - "hey *that* song, I love/loved that song" - ticks.

For example: I loved Crystal at the time - and it's probably the song that got me to go back and listen again and fall in love with New Order*, but at the same time it's not one I'm desperate to hear again now. So it gets a tick for what it did to my listening habits.



(*yes, I know Barney can't sing and he dances like your dad at a wedding and I don't care.)

Don't worry about it dude - half my choices would have never been ticked if they'd been released later than 2005 - nostalgia is a big part of this whole extended polling business!

Yup. The other criteria of course is "would this make me jump up and down and get ridiculously overexcited if I heard it whilst out?"
