Best Song of 2002: Heat #7

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

After a slow start, Avril eased into the lead for heat #6, closely followed by the Sugababes and Golden Boy & Miss Kittin. But an incredibly evenly-ticked heat means that 4th and 5th place have a three-way tie! See the end of today's poll for the run-off.

• You now only get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you played the investigation game on the previous heat and told us all your new favourite (and why). Put your new favourite in the box below and get an extra tick for heat #8!



• 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!



• If you want to fill in the 'best song I only heard today' box later, 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 Tuesday lunchtime to vote.

Bis do the epic

[credoimprobus]

Now, I properly love me some old-skool indie cheer Bis, but it has to be said that they made a really, really excellent electropop band. Return to Central = CLASSIC. The End Starts Today is not only my favourite track off that album, but possibly my overall favourite Bis track EVAH (with maybe the exception of How Can We Be Strange?). Here, listen to it and its HUGE, HUGE chorus!



Also in the indie corner, Pretty Girls Make Graves with a bright and brash pop-punky ode to music escapism:

I have a soft spot for the PGMG song - haven't heard it for years but can still remember the triumphant 'YRADER-VREEER-VAR-MRAH-NEER-YADDA-EAR-AIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRR' chorus.

This is also my favourite Bis song. Strongly recommend a listen to anyone who only ever heard early, shouty Bis.

Elsewhere, this heat is full of really good stuff. Star Guitar for me is by some distance the best Chemicals track.

Glad the Doves track is getting some credit. No love for them in general but this is pretty much perfect.
