Best Song of 2001: Heat #7

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

So close! But Wyclef beat Andrew WK by one vote (not mine!). However even if pop-metal is not represented in the finals it is clearly made an impact on all your hearts etc.

Back to the heats now, and this penultimate bunch of 2001 features up-and-coming young guns Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg and the Manic Street Preachers. It's heat #7!

• 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.



• You have until Friday lunchtime to vote.



• Rep for your favourites in the comments! Youtube embeds very welcome.

[Poll #1448661]


Cheeky edit: this is probably a good juncture to point out that it is POPTIMISM on Friday! Details here.

K SRSLY ppl if Pulp makes it out of this heat I will be VERY CROSS. I have come around on the Avalanches making it out, and I understand not wanting to send another Outkast record through as they've had a number of better ones already, but Pulp? In 2001?

Also I don't think ONE SINGLE PERSON has actually so much as talked about or repped for either song.

Whereas "Stock Exchange" and "Take It To Da House" and "Stutter" all linger a few votes behind. Curse you, silent majority.

I'd honestly support any move to ensure that only people who actually contribute get to vote. This is a totally ridiculous situation!

The voting rules May Or May Not Change for 2002.

I've switched a vote from Wheatus to Lisa Left Eye to make the play-off more interesting.

I don't like the Trees much, and wish they'd been put in separately, but I will rep for Sunrise, though explaining the full details of why would be tediously autobiographical. It's the last great Pulp moment because it's so out-of-character for them, Jarvis shuts up and they just act like a big sprawling rock band for once.
