Best Song of 2005: Heat #5

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The Pussycat Dolls emerge the victors from the Heat #3 run-off; joining them in the next round are Madge, Rachel, Gwen, Ciara and...dudes are you lot doing this on purpose? An Indie run-off is at the end of today's heat. Go forth and tick!

• You get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you told us all your new favourite (and why) from the last heat. 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 2006 (unless I think of something else to do in 2006).



• 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 #1532644]


Extra ticks this heat go to credoimprobus, mesearch, koganbot and me.

And a massive rep post, then

In order:

-ONE FOR THE METAL CROWD: the amazing (AMAZING) debut single of what's become one of Finland's premiere metal bands:



(On later albums they've really worn their debt to Devin Townsend on their sleeve, but on the first one it was still pretty well hidden.)


-And the last part of my shameless promotion of Poetica:



Incidentally, this was in the very first post I made to this comm three years ago (after having lurked for two years, heh)! Ah, memories.


-CLASSIC DUBSTEP of the really shows its d'n'b roots type; as already asserted back in the nominations post, SUPER SUPER SUPER BANGING, j. effing christ. Like a pure shot of bass-heavy adrenaline!




-C'MON PEOPLE LET'S SEND BOOKA SHADE THROUGH (it's close enough to qualifying as is, after all!):



CLASSSSSSICCCCCCCCCCCC.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see Mandarine Girl (or Kate) go through than yet another GA song, though I do like "Long Hot Summer" a fair bit.
