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?

What's there to compromise? Go back to ten ticks for 2003. The poll was working fine, except for poor Lex who wanted everything to go his way.

Fwiw I almost always have to go to something I hadn't heard previously to reach ten, since I'm not British and sometimes haven't even heard ten of the nominees.

The problem is with ten ticks that you end up with people using ticks for tracks that are OK, rather than those that they actually love. If you restrict people to fewer ticks you are more likely to let more potentially divisive songs through, which will hopefully lead to a more interesting battle later on.

So, this is basically all a plot to get Andrew WK through. Now I see.
