Bee OK, Thursday, 12 January 2017 02:43 (eight years ago)

going to do a few in a row for the next few weeks.

Bee OK, Thursday, 12 January 2017 02:44 (eight years ago)

I could go for any of these.

Antony and The Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
Amerie - 1 Thing
Robyn - Be Mine
Lindstrøm - I Feel Space
Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch
Guillemots - Trains to Brazil
Girls Aloud - Biology

Tempted to go with Guillemots as it's likely to be ignored, but it's hard to look past Antony & The Johnsons. I still remember the moment I first heard it.

Kitchen Person, Thursday, 12 January 2017 02:51 (eight years ago)

Sufjan for old time's sake.

skip, Thursday, 12 January 2017 03:20 (eight years ago)

1 Thing, by a mile. Then Biology probably.

monotony, Thursday, 12 January 2017 03:25 (eight years ago)

wish i didn't sleep so late

mookieproof, Thursday, 12 January 2017 03:27 (eight years ago)

this list is fucked, where is Feels, voting 'Chicago' but I wish I could vote for the title track on Illinoise.

flappy bird, Thursday, 12 January 2017 03:40 (eight years ago)

"Grass" was number 48, with nothing else placing in 2005.

Bee OK, Thursday, 12 January 2017 04:01 (eight years ago)

"Apply Some Pressure" still pretty much perfect to me.

geoffreyess, Thursday, 12 January 2017 04:29 (eight years ago)

Dj Paul and Juicy J, 8 Ball and MJG, Young Buck we don't give a fuck we must represent this TENNESEE

voodoo chili, Thursday, 12 January 2017 04:57 (eight years ago)

Definitely gonna vote for Stay Fly, beating out Hate It Or Love It and Trains To Brazil. Apply Some Pressure is amazing, been way to long since i heard it.

This list looked pretty bad to me at first but there are some jams

voodoo chili, Thursday, 12 January 2017 04:59 (eight years ago)

Kanye's got a bajillion songs in acclaimedmusic's top 6000 but Gone and Touch the Sky not making the top 40 here is wack. Would've voted for one of those right off the bat

josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 12 January 2017 05:26 (eight years ago)

welcome to jamrock

Stay Fly

example (crüt), Thursday, 12 January 2017 07:17 (eight years ago)

at the time:

2 370 Antony and The Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
3 459 Sufjan Stevens - Chicago
10 1296 The Game feat. 50 Cent - Hate It or Love It
13 1362 LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing at My House
16 1540 Babyshambles - Fuck Forever
23 1992 The National - Mr. November
25 2228 M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun
39 3308 M83 - Don't Save Us from the Flames

now:

4 554 Kanye West - Gold Digger
5 589 Amerie - 1 Thing
10 1296 The Game feat. 50 Cent - Hate It or Love It
23 1992 The National - Mr. November
27 2335 Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life
36 3056 Coldplay - Fix You

good stuff on this list but not to many stone cold classics imo

niels, Thursday, 12 January 2017 09:52 (eight years ago)

Voting M83's Don't Save Us From The Flames, but mostly because of Superpitcher's remix, which for me is one of the best remixes ever:

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 12 January 2017 13:26 (eight years ago)

Amerie by a mile, followed by 'DARE'.

Gorvernment Stoodge (Old Lunch), Thursday, 12 January 2017 13:43 (eight years ago)

Trains To Brazil beat out Bucky Done Gun. But this is a terrible list. I wish I liked '1 Thing' more than I do, but I find it a bit shrill and clattery.

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Thursday, 12 January 2017 14:38 (eight years ago)

Voted for M83.

My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Thursday, 12 January 2017 14:47 (eight years ago)

1 Thing is good at parties, drum beat is cool, but yes it is terribly shrill

niels, Thursday, 12 January 2017 14:50 (eight years ago)

1 Thing.

chap, Thursday, 12 January 2017 16:42 (eight years ago)

It's comin' up, it's coming up... it's 'DARE'

Shine a Light by Wolf Parade. A great rock song.

kornrulez6969, Friday, 13 January 2017 15:47 (eight years ago)

do not sleep on that Depeche Mode song, it rules

(The caption: “fine dining.”) (DJP), Friday, 13 January 2017 16:04 (eight years ago)

"Casimir Pulaski Day" picks me up bodily and places me in Galesburg in February 2005. So I voted for that.

THAC0 Pastorius (Tom Violence), Friday, 13 January 2017 19:49 (eight years ago)

I would've voted for "Come on Feel the Illinoise!" but since it wasn't here, went "Hung Up" instead. Always curious why it didn't go #1 in the US when it topped the charts in so many other countries and is as catchy as "Music."

First Day of My Life

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Saturday, 14 January 2017 17:19 (eight years ago)

1 thing.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Saturday, 14 January 2017 17:52 (eight years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Monday, 16 January 2017 00:01 (eight years ago)

Amerie - 1 Thing

Cherokee remix is also good

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 16 January 2017 01:19 (eight years ago)

Urgh, this lost is nowhere near as good as the 2004 one. The rockin' guitar tunes are all gone, and in their place are a bunch of flash-in-the-pan shit. Who remembers Wolf Parade and Babyshambles these days? And does anybody really like that Arctic Monkeys song?

Mr. Snrub, Monday, 16 January 2017 01:20 (eight years ago)

Voting for "Biology." Girls Aloud were fucking great!

Mr. Snrub, Monday, 16 January 2017 01:22 (eight years ago)

It is beyond me how anybody could be casting about for something to vote for when "Stay Fly" is sitting right there.

Fake Tales of San Francisco

Bee OK, Monday, 16 January 2017 20:17 (eight years ago)

And does anybody really like that Arctic Monkeys song?

I remember it getting to number one off the back of so much hype... when I finally heard it, it was like "really?" ... I thought it was pretty ghastly, actually - there were superior bands, like Franz Ferdinand, already in existence.

Working night & day, I tried to stay awake... (Turrican), Monday, 16 January 2017 20:42 (eight years ago)

Anyhow, SHIT... I've noticed 'Destroy Everything You Touch' is on here! Just pretend I voted for that instead of 'DARE' ...

lol Feel Good Inc. hasn't aged well

flappy bird, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 00:07 (eight years ago)

Kanye and LCD both struck out.

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 00:35 (eight years ago)

Gold Digger earning 0 votes doesn't surprise me, that song hasn't aged well. It's a good song but it feels so slight compared to the likes of Power and Runaway

josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 01:12 (eight years ago)

'Feel Good Inc.' is still awesome, as is that entire LP.

o man can't wait for this one to get seized upon

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 02:12 (eight years ago)

I understand lots of ppl here don't like mbdtf, but shit I'd imagine that some of its tracks would at least get some votes if 2010 ever gets polled.

josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 07:03 (eight years ago)

It's more that "Gold Digger" is pretty easily the best single Kanye released

(The caption: “fine dining.”) (DJP), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 15:27 (eight years ago)

Definitely his best dance floor jam

niels, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 16:27 (eight years ago)

1 Thing really owned this one, biggest win in recent poll memory

niels, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 16:27 (eight years ago)

"Gold Digger" is catchy, inventive and lyrically gross. These days, he usually only manages the latter.

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 16:32 (eight years ago)

when i finally heard Stereolab in my early 20s i was like "oh Sufjan totally ripped these guys off"

flappy bird, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 18:29 (eight years ago)

I like how in the video for "1 Thing" it makes it look like there's a whole orchestra playing behind Amerie, but in reality the Meters sample is just guitar, bass, drums, and some percussion.

Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 18:45 (eight years ago)

when i finally heard Stereolab in my early 20s i was like "oh Sufjan totally ripped these guys off"

Around this time (2005) is when I first heard him, I think -- PA at a local cafe, and I was all "I don't recognize this Stereolab song at all!"

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)

yeah I mean listen to "The Free Design" from Cobra and Phases and then the title track from Illinois, it's uncanny
