Best Song of 2003: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Russian faux-lesbians, Knightrider bhangra and countless remixes by Richard X: welcome to 2003!

• You 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 the next heat - do this on five or more of the eight heats and get an extra nomination slot for 2004! (thx to credoimprobus for this suggestion)



• The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!



• 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 lunchtime to vote

[Poll #1477035]


Extra ticks for this heat go to meserach, justfanoe, koganbot and myself.

Guessing a lot of you haven't heard this - it's IMO the best track from the 'Electric Version' album. Exuberant sugar-rush power pop:

Very good song and I ticked it. Unfortunately, I suspect it will only get a few ticks from the poptimists indie crew and languish there.

Good song on very solid album, but not - IMO - the best track on the album, hence no tick from me.

No, it's like the 5th best track from the album, but I threw it a tick anyways.

One of my favourite bands, but not the best song on the album. Even so, it's a tick in a very tough round indeed.

For me it's close between this and 'Miss Teen Wordpower' for best track. 'The Laws Have Changed' will likely get a tick from me as well.
