poptimistsClose heat last time, with barely a whisker between Big & Rich, Basement Jaxx, Outkast, NERD and Jamelia (shout out to the Jamelia street team for a last minute surge!)
By far the toughest heat of the year coming up today - I need at least ten non-negotiable ticks myself! Good luck everyone...
[Poll #1516818]
Extra ticks this heat go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

- 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 Friday lunchtime to vote.

Truly, I am shocked.
Hm, I mostly voted for Things Which Pestered Me rather than actual fave songs, on the basis that their continued presence in my head must say something after all this time. That made it much easier. OTOH, I do really like Franz.

(though "Take Me Out" is fine, and since we've put through two awful FF songs we might as well let their only good one in!)

Date: 2010-01-27 08:03 pm (UTC)Still think this is the best Kanye West song eva. And if not the best song, at least the best rap. All he needed was all those marbles in his mouth, I guess. Will withdraw nindie vote for "The Rat" (it was IMPORTANT, dammit) AND the Killaz if this isn't doing better by Friday.
