Acclaimed Music Top 40 Songs from 2005 poll

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

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.

Sufjan for old time's sake.

1 Thing, by a mile. Then Biology probably.

wish i didn't sleep so late

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

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

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

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

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

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

welcome to jamrock

ladytron, by acres

Stay Fly

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

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:

Amerie by a mile, followed by 'DARE'.

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.

Voted for M83.

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

1 Thing.

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

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

do not sleep on that Depeche Mode song, it rules

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

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

1 thing.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Amerie - 1 Thing

Cherokee remix is also good

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

lol Feel Good Inc. hasn't aged well

Kanye and LCD both struck out.

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

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

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

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.

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

Definitely his best dance floor jam

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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