Give me five minutes?

Bill you are our slave-child. Type this list, then fetch me a beer. And then calculate two entirely different message board's 2004 polls. As well as constructing your own list. And be a student at the same time.

I live for the punishment.

bill, quick. top five jadakiss guest verses.

Think you asked me this before, and I haven't gotten more educated in the meantime. Fret not, though, there'll be a hipinion thread in the next couple weeks that'll more than make up for it.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:47 (twenty-one years ago)

No Nina Sky means BAD LIST!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Although "Gal Yuh A Lead" ALMOST makes up for it.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

66. Wiley - "Pies"
56. Beastie Boys - "Ch-Check it Out"

Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender. Jesus, Blender.

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

66. Wiley - "Pies"
56. Beastie Boys - "Ch-Check it Out"

Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender. Jesus, Blender.

Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender. Rock the fuck on, Blender.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

In what universe is "Through the Wire" a 2004 single?

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Um the one where the video and the album it was on were released this year (aka this universe.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I definitely already knew all the words to "Through the Wire" due to over-exposure by last year's end.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

or, a better answer; The same universe where "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" and "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" are 2004 singles.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Attention people: you may be under the mistaken impression that dance music exists. This list proves you wrong.

― Jacob (Jacob), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah Through the Wire definitely had blown up well before the beginning of this year.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

except for the placement of "just lose it" this list isn't too bad

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

no Juvenile "Slow Motion" = this list is crap

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah that list sits pretty well with me, considering I hate hate hate Blender. (x-post)

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:28 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, The Wire's too busy explaining that pop doesn't exist (see Stubbs' spectactularly wrongheaded review of the This Is Pop book in the "Riffs" issue).

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:28 (twenty-one years ago)

No Junior Boys, Rachel Stevens, Annie, Girls Aloud, Nas, should be more crunk, but really for an American mainstream-ish magazine it's alright.

― Gregory T (tubesocks), Thursday, 2 December 2004 05:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in sync with a disquietingly large number of these picks.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

BLENDER DOESN'T LIKE THE JUNIOR BOYS?!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

"Slow Motion" is ass,
this list is okay enough.
Mine will be better.

― Haibun (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Your best haiku yet, as resolution lines go.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The picks for Snoop and Gwen Stefani are singles? Or I guess this is "songs"?

― xcixxorx, Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

No Big & Rich? No Chromeo?
Weak.

― Mr Deeds (Mr Deeds), Thursday, 2 December 2004 06:42 (twenty-one years ago)

No RJD2, no Madvillain/MF Doom, no Trick Daddy, no Liquid Liquid, no Prodigy ("Girls", I mean), NO GOTDAMNABLE SONIC YOUTH, YOU PHILISTINES? Beyond weak.

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Thursday, 2 December 2004 07:21 (twenty-one years ago)

in what bizarro universe is any given Von Bondies song better than "Toxic"?

not a bad list though apart from excess Franz Ferdinand. I like a lot of the songs on it. I like their recognition of Courtney Love, MIA and Ashlee Simpson.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 2 December 2004 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

this is fine. they had wiley in there so thats good.

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Thursday, 2 December 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Art Brut is the worst top 10 wildcard entry ever.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 2 December 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

recognition of wiley, tv on the radio, blonde redhead and t.i. - FINE
inclusion of lloyd bland, moron 5, hoobastink, the hypes, jadapiss - WHAT IS THIS?

― Jay-Kid (Jay-Kid), Thursday, 2 December 2004 10:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i have no problems with that list. you guys ask for way too much from these mainstream music magazines.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 2 December 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

nonono, i don't mind mainstream music or mainstream music magazines, really, but some of these songs are really the blandness.

― Jay-Kid (Jay-Kid), Thursday, 2 December 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually think P&J is going to shake out remarkably similar to that albums list. Except for Alicia Keys since so many voted for her last year.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, did Thurston Moore hit the editor's car while parallel parking or something?

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I really hope P&J's a little more interesting.

Anybody know how many people worked/voted the Blender lists? The issue suggests it was just six people.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Admittedly, I didn't expect Regina Spektor to make it.

What does the fact that only one of the Nelly records made it onto this list mean?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

6. Morrissey - You are the Quarry

wtf? Is this really any good?

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

You are the Quarry is ok, not worthy of six tho.

Yay! the good life made both lists!

― JD from CDepot, Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

What does the fact that only one of the Nelly records made it onto this list mean?

That Sweat is better than Suit, which drags a bit, and mayb Blender don't like slow jams.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you Dr. Bill!!!! *respek*

― billstevejim, Thursday, 2 December 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I can think of at least 100 things wrong with this list.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 2 December 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

or, a better answer; The same universe where "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" and "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" are 2004 singles.

I recall seeing "I Believe In A Thing" on at least one 2002 singles list.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 2 December 2004 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

that Morrissey thing stuck out really quick. its good but not that good, people.

― still bevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 2 December 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

These people have never heard of dance music? It's their loss, and it renders their lists pretty meaningless in my view.

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 2 December 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I find most metal-mag year-end lists to be meaningless as well. Cause they don't do pop. Their loss!

― danh (danh), Thursday, 2 December 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Funny, I find most metal-mag year-end lists to be meaningless. Cause they don't do pop. Their loss!

― danh (danh), Thursday, 2 December 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh, their's no stopping it once you hit submit!

― danh (danh), Thursday, 2 December 2004 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh, there's no stopping it once you hit submit!

― danh (danh), Thursday, 2 December 2004 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

JoB: it's an American magazine!!
