Best Song of 2002: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's a new year, it's time for some...

...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!


[Poll #1457810]


Q for the comments box: What's the best song up there that you hadn't heard before today?

I'm not (that) ashamed to admit that I'm not really using these polls to hear new stuff much at all. It's a nice option and I realise I'm being close-minded in a way but most of the stuff i don't recognise will come from genres i'm not v interested in anyway. presumably we will lose a fair chunk of relatively obscure hip-hop from future lexless polls but i personally feel i could get good recs on that stuff at any time via him or a few other sources inc ilm so no big loss for me.

i also find it unlikely that i will want to tick a song having only just heard it. in most heats there will be enough songs i have a strong feeling for out of history and that will carry more weight than instant novelty thrill. can always go back to the polls and check out stuff when the dust settles anyway.

We can always scrap the whole thing.
