poptimistsRight, sorry this was a week delayed- DDoS attacks and real life and all that.
You have SIX TICKS plus a potential BONUS TICKY in the offing for people willing to try new things. As it is now four grillion years since the last poll, I am afraid I am not well-practised enough in archaeology to find out who might deserve them from last time so we are starting with a clean slate on that front.
1. 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).
2. The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!
3. 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 Wednesday (13th) lunchtime GMT to vote.
[Poll #1728891]

Date: 2011-04-11 12:31 pm (UTC)how'm I s'posed to know you're high if you won't even dance?
Date: 2011-04-11 11:05 am (UTC)This reminds me too much of an ex to get much play on the Mog stereo these days but it's an absolute stormer- their best pop singalong moment by a decent distance, IMO.

Spotify playlist!

A number of things missing, which I'll solicit youtube for when I have more time.
One of the greatest dubstep classics of all time
Date: 2011-04-11 12:50 pm (UTC)OH GOD THAT BASS. It is one of the most perfect things ever put on this earth. ;_; (Nb: make sure to listen with proper bass reproduction, obviously!)
It's also bloody amazing quite beside that, so it's got something as well for those who don't have the gigantic weakness vs. proper sub that I do. :D

Also awesome:
And while I was always kinda eh on the original version of Check on It, I will never miss a chance to rep for the amazing, euphoric Junior Vasquez mix: (which youtube has blocked in my country since I bookmarked it, ARGH, but here's the link anyway)
Motor
Date: 2011-04-11 01:53 pm (UTC)This track is UTTERLY IMMENSE. Imagine if Vitalic got MORE BOSHING. I submitted it for the Pop Open in 2007 (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/415469.html#cutid1) and it went down rather well (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/413718.html).

Date: 2011-04-11 01:57 pm (UTC)My ticks:
Date: 2011-04-11 02:06 pm (UTC)Vitalic & Motor - see above
PCD & Snoop - hahaha this is totally when they finally convinced me of their awesomeness after 3 singles of 'meh', mostly down to Snoop's first mention of 'The Lead Pussycat' and reeling off the others' names like he's desperately trying to remember which one is CARMIT and how he can make something rhyme with CARMIT. Also they set the floor on fire! Well done everyone concerned.
Lil Chris - Ch-ch-ch-checking it out (woah-oh-oh-oh) <--- still grebt
J-Lo & LL Cool J - Control Myself <--- we have this on 12" somewhere! Blimey!

BLUE, like most of Utada's self-produced songs, is a warm and generous blanket of sound with her gorgeous gorgeous vocals, dancing around it, as the main point of interest.

Irresistible, or else the middle eight will destroy all defenses.

Date: 2011-04-13 02:48 pm (UTC)In any case, unexpected meetings have kept me from putting a new poll up today so this one might as well stay open until tomorrow lunchtime.
