poptimistsDestiny'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.

Date: 2009-07-21 11:48 am (UTC)Pied Piper - hahahaha I totally see the value and merit in this song now
Oxide & Neutrino - this was on the Tomb Raider soundtrack or something and hence it was to be abhorred
Crazy Town - this needed a Dancefloor Moment to be appreciated properly (ie someone I fancied at the time professed a liking for it and I volunteered to go up and dance with him to it)

Date: 2009-07-21 11:57 am (UTC)The WHOLE THING is Dancefloor Moment! (I am aware how deeply embarrassing my love of this is but I just can't stop)

Date: 2009-07-21 12:01 pm (UTC)'Digital Love' is a ::canon:: track that I just don't get at all.
'Can't Get You out Of My Head' is a ::canon:: track that I don't dislike but is SO overrated that I have to withhold a tick.
'Clint Eastwood' has that great Ed Case 2-step refix but I was so appalled by their good showing in the last heat that I can't encourage them.
Got briefly excited by 'Crush' but then remembered that Jennifer Paige's 'Crush' is the amazing one and Mandy Moore's 'Crush' is the one I can never remember.
WTF are Feeder/Ash/Ian Van Dahl/Crazy Town/Bob The Builder/System Of A Down doing in the nominations at all?! HAAAAAATE, so much hate.
Even after going back to remind myself of some I'd forgotten (Roni Size = ace) I've still only ticked 9.
On the plus side, the great stuff here is REALLY great - Mystikal going NUTS over that evocative, long hot desert nights twang while Nivea croons and aches. Oxide & Neutrino going so dark and so stately it's almost goth. 'Case Of The Ex' - I think, pace Kat, it holds up better than ever. "And you told me that she turned trick when y'all broke up in '96" is such a deeply satisfying lyric. And the Tori cover of '97 Bonnie & Clyde', which is a sort of dizzyingly ambitious pinnacle of what a cover version can be and do.

Date: 2009-07-21 12:18 pm (UTC)The "class of 2000" excuse doesn't wash I'm afraid - it worked for the 1999 tracks because I felt they didn't belong in a 2000s poll at all. But 2000 tracks definitely do, and it's not their fault they ended up in this heat!

Anyway, I really like that Tori album, as a curiosity piece. Am obviously a bit biased re: Tori tho.

Date: 2009-07-21 12:25 pm (UTC)Although: big props for "Crystal"; one of my favourite New Order tracks, still, and coming so late.
Ugh. Now to find four more ticks.
