poptimistsAfter 100% positive feedback to the idea, I'm bringing this mothereffer back.
THE PROJECT:
Like all Poptimist projects, the point ultimately is to prove how great Scooter are. No- I mean, it's to work out what our favourite songs of the last decade were. With polls, naturally. You can look at some of the previous ones here -feel free to go back and do some ticking in the poll ones, although obviously nominations closed several years ago now.
THE RULES:
First we nominate top tracks of the year to be included within the POLL PHASE which will happenwhen I remember to actually renew my paid account next week. You may nominate as many songs which charted in the UK top 40 for the relevant year as you want but only 10 which did not chart in the UK.
Q: BUT WHY?! I want to nominate the entire of this white-label Hawaiian funk compilation!
A: Because there is, even in Poptimists, a limit to the number of things we will eventually include in a poll, also it is more fun if the nominations are things people can actually discuss- 10 extras is a good way to get people to be discriminating about what they nominate. Also there are hundreds of things you can nominate from within the UK charts!
Then we will vote on them in gluts; there is a TICKY BONUS SCHEME for listening to new stuff when it comes to the poll phase, which I will elaborate more on when the time comes.
For now, let the nominations for 2006 commence! ETA: nominations will close at midnight, Friday (25th March)
2006 was the year that Take That came BACK BACK BACK and produced the first song of theirs that I've genuinely liked-
Meanwhile...
My Chemical Romance welcomed you to the Black Parade
Nelly Furtado welcomed you to her cannibal lair
and Justin had a nice relaxing break in the Hotel du Foxy Spying

Date: 2011-03-23 05:59 pm (UTC)Still though, it stays. 2006! Nearly all of my noms are pretty weak in truth.
2006 was when I got really, really bored of all the rubbish indie I was still listening to and then in 2007 YOU made me a pop mix and I was SAVED. Sort of.
