- 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 Tuesday lunchtime to vote.

Lady Saw and Elephant Man offset the usual Lil Jon shoutathon in their own inimtable styles.

From:Can I get a handclap for the way I work my back
Date: 2010-03-19 02:48 pm (UTC)Jessica Simpson "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'," Jessica goofing her way through an experimentally strange, minimalist crypto-reggaeton country track. (Yes, that rhythm is reggaeton.)

Behold the song that ruled Radio Disney for over a year!
Date: 2010-03-19 04:34 pm (UTC)This is the only song that earwormed me in exactly the same way it probably did its target audience -- they played it on RD three to five times an hour, and for a long time that was the only place I ever heard the thing. (Don't listen to RD much anymore, but at the time I'd listen for ten to fifteen minutes every couple days to see what was going on.)

Date: 2010-03-19 04:39 pm (UTC)wtf?
Date: 2010-03-19 04:48 pm (UTC)One of my top 5 tracks of the noughties
Date: 2010-03-19 05:29 pm (UTC)Massive, crushing, molasses-dark trance, driving and relentless. HUGE.
(Of note is also the fact that Gabriel & Dresden were 2/3 of Motorcycle, which means they're responsible for TWO of my top ten tunes of the decade. Not bad for a pair of random trance dudes!)
And speaking of massive and crushing...
Date: 2010-03-19 05:36 pm (UTC)and it's COOOOOOLD OUTSIIIIIIIDE
Date: 2010-03-19 05:59 pm (UTC)And I should prob post the Kray Twinz thing too seeing as I nominated it -- decent cross-Atlantic grime antics with a hyperactive eastern string motif:

Date: 2010-03-20 05:13 am (UTC)I'm just writing to ask you to cast your vote for one of my favourite young disciples, the lovely Miss Yolanda Adams.
I love the way absolutely every element of 'Victory'is dialled up to 11 in praise of me - the backing singers singing every word of the chorus like it hgas an exclamation mark after it, the huge vworping noises that run throughout, the slightly histronic ascending and descneding synths in the background, and the way Yolanda herself belts out every line like her life depends on it.
If only all the music dedicated to me was quite this fun.
Yours, Jesus
Amen
