Best Song of 2004: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I got 294 nominations but Michelle McManus ain't one! Welcome to 2004 everybody - coming up this year we have at least three songs/artists that have inspired lj names of poptimist members, debuts from Kanye, Estelle, TashBed and McFly, plus plenty of mumpop, teenpop, hiphop and blip-bop (that's quite enough of that - Ed).

Without further ado, let's crack open the Brandy and get Bubblin'! (sorry) It's heat #1!

• 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 it for five or more heats and get an extra nomination for 2005.



• 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 Tuesday lunchtime to vote

[Poll #1494342]

Haven't heard early Kasabian but like most of what I've heard recently. Never understood the apparent certainty with which they're assumed in these parts not just to be bad but to be The Wrong Thing, A Path Not To Be Followed. Are they too earnest? Are there horribly incriminating interviews I've sidestepped? (I remember someone here saying that about some such band that didn't seem so bad to me, maybe this one, maybe another.)

no, they come across pretty well in interviews actually. it's just that they epitomise the post-oasis Lad Band, also that they totally fail on sounding like happy mondays crossed with screamadelica-era prml scrm which should be the best thing eva but clearly isn't...
