http://thephoenix.com/BLOGS/blogs/phlog/Rapture_WWNEWS_Cover_480.jpg

i guess i'll be the first among many to point out that some of these songs are Actually Bad and Hated

though i think the only one i earnestly dislike is the richard ashcroft

i remember being so excited about that Richard Ashcroft album, was sad that it pretty much sucked.

There are some doozies here. Lame that the only representative from the great PJ Harvey album is the duet with Thom Yorke, not one of the better songs on that record.

2000 was not messing around. songs like Stan, Ms. Jackson and Idioteque mean serious business, but it's hard to top Letter From an Occupant.

just listened to that Richard Ashcroft song again, as i pulled out the CD, it's like six minutes long and worse than i remember.

Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country

lots of great contenders from this year but this is arguably the best BoC song

Too Young by Phoenix and Come On Let's Go by Broadcast are two of my favourite songs ever. It's almost impossible to choose between them.

Overload, Pure Shores, Untitled, Since I Left You, B.O.B, Ante Up, Since I Left You, The Crystal Lake, Groovejet and Lovely Head are all classics too.

this is...not a bad list. my initial instinct is 'pure shores' but let's give it some thought

yeap, we need cryptosicko!

Voting for Broadcast. It may or may not be the best song on here, but when else do I get to vote for them?

"stan"

Pretty good list, Broadcast is the one that immediately jumps out at me.

D'Angelo, Outkast (both) and MOP are straight classics

so close

haha, thought this was the World Series thread.

Having to choose between Untitled and B.O.B. is going to destroy me.

New Pornographers

playground love

since no one else is gonna vote for it i'll take "one armed scissor"

Loads of good songs here!

OutKast -B. O. B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)
Aaliyah - Try Again
Radiohead - Everything in Its Right Place
At the Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
Queens of the Stone Age - The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
Sugababes - Overload
Goldfrapp - Lovely Head
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country

All contenders.

yeap, we need cryptosicko!

Here I am!

Turns out Acclaimed Music already put together its own playlists for each year. Who knew?!

https://open.spotify.com/user/frazze/playlist/5nJEKq4xAo2azOahvCKKOy

'One Armed Scissor'

Oh shit, yeah, One Armed Scissor kicks so much ass

Holy shit, I think this one may actually be impossible for me. There are at least 4 or 5 in this list that are all-time favorites. Tempted, though, to vote Broadcast because I love it and because it's likely to get lost in the thicket of top-notch options.

Oh, but now I see that several other people have already called that one out.

'If I Ever Feel Better' is a song that sounded great upon first listen and that continues to grow in my esteem, so maybe that.

Thanks cryptosicko.

No ones mentioned One More Time yet? Not my favourite dp song but it's still a jam

this is...not a bad list. my initial instinct is 'pure shores' but let's give it some thought

A great, great song but I really wish I could vote for 'Black Coffee' instead.

39 3549 Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
40 3568 All Saints - Pure Shores

I refuse to narrow down further than this. Maybe I'd drop Daft Punk.

voted m.o.p. but

Daft Punk - One More Time
OutKast - Ms. Jackson
OutKast -B. O. B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)
Aaliyah - Try Again
Madonna - Music
Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better
Phoenix - Too Young
D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel?)
Destiny's Child - Independent Women Part 1
All Saints - Pure Shores

all solid jams

the richard ashcroft one is good too

never want to hear "beautiful day" every again

Group X - "I Just Want Bang Bang Bang"

There are a lot of great songs on here. I once had a girl dedicate the song "This Mess We're In" to what was going on at the time, so it has to be that.

voted pure shores

1. OutKast -B. O. B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)
2. OutKast - Ms. Jackson
3. The New Pornographers - Letter from an Occupant
4. Radiohead - Idioteque

IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE OUT IN THE COUNTRY

great list, inspired some listening

could vote for plenty of these but going with All Saints - Pure Shores

I voted for Pure Shores because I thought it would be underrated so the love in this thread is cheering, I wish that love translated into love for the new album they've put out which has a few moments in the same league.

Groovejet, Try Again, Lovely Head, Fuck The Pain Away and If I Ever Feel Better all worthy of runner-up.

think the Orbit-production is a big part of what makes that song great - the ethereal melancholy electro vibe so turn of the century, also beautifully featured on the Ray of Light album, and ofc "Black Coffee" which is also stellar

yeah an Orbit-goes-pop Greatest Hits compilation would be welcome, there's that great song he did with the Sugababes a few years later that fits in. The fake Orbit stuff on Red Flag is nice too though, I said it on another thread recently but I don't think All Saints ever released a single that was less than brilliant.

Too Young/If I Ever Feel Better all time for me so one of those

Pure Shores and many others also up there mind

what an incredible year and i have never heard "Pure Shores" so i'm definitely looking forward to it. i am listening to the Spotify playlist and up to Moloko.

M.O.P. every time

voted Lovely Head, loads of good weird pop on here though

Ah, this was that very brief moment when Queens of the Stone Age were a hype.

I think lost my computer

Wrong place

Ah, this was that very brief moment when Queens of the Stone Age were a hype.

I thought almost the same when I read over the list, except replace Queens of the Stone Age with The Avalanches.

both better than The New Pornographers and Grandaddy, so long as we're being catty

And all of them are better than Coldplay, but perhaps they're just too easy of a target

I heard a new Coldplay song today for the first time in forever (the one about being so high, and also drunk and high) and I was shocked at how terrible it was. I knew they were bad but I hadn't really checked in on them in a long time. It's weird that there was a time when people would unironically like Coldplay

Madonna's Music, arguably her last great single.

Coldplay basically snared the Radiohead fans that were scared off by Kid A.

Music didn't impress me as much as Ray of Light did.

"Music" is pretty much played out for me at this point, but "Don't Tell Me" and "What It Feels Like For a Girl" would have been in contention for me if they'd made the list.

I'd assume that "Hung Up" is probably the most recent single that casual fans could name, and that was over a decade ago now!

Yeah, 'Hung Up' was a huge hit and definitely the last of the "songs everyone knows" hits. I didn't really think much of it, to be honest - sampling ABBA struck me as one of the laziest things she possibly could have done.

A lot of really good tunes here, but quite an odd choice from that PJ Harvey album.

i don't remember anything about "Hung Up"

hung up was a banger, laziness not relevant when criticizing a record

is that "i will follow you" song (the one on the smart phone balloon commercial) by coldplay? holy shit is that a horrible song.

'Hung Up' was a banger in the same way as a 1982 Skoda 105 was a banger.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Finally decided to go with my original vote. "One More Time."

One vote here for Cripple And The Starfish. My introduction to an wonderful and unique voice.

i don't remember anything about "Hung Up"

that was the ABBA one that sounded a little like a rejected Gwen Stefani single

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Woo, go Broadcast.

Any one of ten songs deserved this, great year for singles.

Hooray for Broadcast. I'm glad I ended up giving them my vote. They could well be my favourite band of the 00s.

Didn't they just win another poll like this recently?

Just found it. Black Cat won Moka's best songs of 2005 poll a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff.

Didn't expect "Independent Women" to strike out.

what a year!!

1. try again
2. ante up
3. music
4. how does it feel
5. fuck the pain away
6. independent women
7. hung up
8. overload
9. ms jackson
10. b.o.b.

Independant Woman is killer, my favorite DC track. Things Have Changed p good too...

Did not know the winner, don't exactly get the appeal but a nice surprise...

Overload deserved better too

I broke my computer and it is too hard to put up a new poll on my phone. I'mean going to delay 2001 for a week, plus lm depressed as hell

s'ok Bee take all the time you'd like and thank you for posting at all

yellow votes represent

Oh fuck I was thining of voting Overload but forgot.
