poptimistsIt's a new year, it's time for some...
...NEW VOTING RULES!
So let's get on with it!
[Poll #1457810]
Q for the comments box: What's the best song up there that you hadn't heard before today?
...NEW VOTING RULES!
- To make things a bit more interesting, there is now a maximum of SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll. That's right - six.
- The top five will still go through to the next stage, but now it's going to be that little bit tougher to get there. If your favourite song isn't doing so well then try and convince people in the comments as to why it's so good!
- As I'm sure you all know by now, the rules are always subject to change thx to my ongoing struggle for perfection, so if this year proves agonising for one and all we can rethink it for 2003. Also please bear in mind that I'm the one having to type all these bloody songs out and therefore I can do what I like, mwahahahah.
- 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'.
- You have until Friday lunchtime to vote.
So let's get on with it!

This was the song that made me fall in love with Bedingfield; it's the opening cut on his first album. From the first few seconds you just know the whole LP is going to be an awesome pop record.

Date: 2009-09-15 03:53 pm (UTC)- Truth Hurts' qualification is UNDER THREAT but the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING "Bad Babysitter" is walking it.

The VNV Nation is an all-time favourite; EUPHORIC GOTH-TRANCE*, you guys. Okay, so it may be 7 and a half minutes long and not really kick in until three minutes in, but when it does, it is worth EVERY SECOND OF THE WAIT. (Random footnote: I once described it as "wibbly sparkly death on a stick", but this is probably not as evocative to most, heh.)
I would say this is the best thing they've ever done, except that Honour still exists. Certainly their best, by miles, this decade at least!
*) okay so in proper parlance it's ebm, but who that hasn't dug into the industrial scene actually knows that term? :)
Also there's this:
For full impact listen to on gorgeous, sunny day. And uh ignore the lyrics, which are kinda rubbish...

Date: 2009-09-18 11:38 am (UTC)I'd also previously been intimidated by this community (for raisins to do with my rock-bottom self esteem rather than the members, I hasten to add) and now I see that I was silly to be so.
In short - WIN and THANKS.
