Best song from my friend's best of 1999 playlist

1. doo wop (that thing)
2. genie in a bottle
3. i want it that way
4. unpretty
5. kiss me

"Steal My Sunshine" without a doubt.

I voted Northern Lites but I really love that Magnetic Fields song, the note he holds near the end is just wow!

You Get What You Give > Steal My Sunshine > Backstreet

great playlist

well, except smashmouth.

Turns out I like "Kiss Me" quite a lot.

girls, you know you better WATCH OUT

LEN

wow, i am making this playlist! i will even put "All Star" on there twice like he did

Len - Steal My Sunshine - No question.

I love this f'ing song. A lot. It never fails to cheer me up.

a playlist from hell D:

A playlist from hell, a music year from hell, apparently.

Anyway: Steal My Sunshine, by a mile.

Your friend is about two years late with that Spiritualized song, and possibly a year early with the Blink 182 as well.

Didn't' that Spiritualized song come out in like 97?

This was a great year for singles and I can't figure out what to vote for -- Though I guess "You Get What You Give" is unbeatable

oh god that song annoys the crap out of me

le tigre - the the empty
the white stripes - screwdriver

Len - Steal My Sunshine
Lauren Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me

a playlist from hell D:

whaaaaat

Well "Steal My Sunshine" is the only song here that made MY best of 1999 mix...

Steal My Sunshine here too. In fact, i would keep the first and last track on this mix and delete the rest.

a playlist from hel

Most of these songs are perfect pop wtf. This is my ideal NOW! comp.

Voted for "You Get What You Give" over "Steal My Sunshine," "Spit on a Stranger," Sugar Ray, and Backstreet Boys.

I like Lauryn best here. I am corny.

oh right forgot Lauren.

Hey baby, won't you step inside my Hyundai?

"All Star" would be a fondly remembered old fave if it weren't the most overplayed song of the past 10 years.

ha see i havent heard it in like, at least six or seven years, so i'd love to hear it once or twice on the radio

All-Star: Can't miss you if you don't go away.

And I read that the guy who wrote 'Genie' was in a 70s soft rock band (name escapes me now) and that he also wrote some of the 98 Degrees songs, including the one here.

Well does he like butter tarts?

love tons of this stuff, tough call...

Len - Steal My Sunshine
Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way
Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, We Came Out in 1997
Magnetic Fields - Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side
Blur - Coffee and TV
Fatboy Slim - Praise You
Lauren Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)

blur's probably my sentimental favorite, but maybe that's just the video talking

xpost. The only reason they keep me around here is to chime in at moments exactly like this one.

Soft Rock Guy is Steve Kipner, who also wrote Physical for Olivia Newton John. He was in Skyband, Friends, and Tin Tin back in the 70's, all great groups not on CD. You can connect him in a couple of degrees to like everyone in the music business...

My pick is blur.

New Radicals

Unpretty

Laryn, Christina or Blur at a push. Not that into this selection.

Definitely "Magnetic Fields - Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side" - I still listen to it at least once a month, what a great pop song!

goddamn i forgot about that len song, top 3 easy

Thought it was gonna be an easy choice ("Steal My Sunshine") until I worked my way further down the list. Beck, Sixpence, Lauren Hill, Spiritualized, Pavement all classix. Nuts!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Man, poor Len. So close!

Not enough love for "Northern Lites" though i would still have Lauryn number one.

Lots of good songs on here that I never heard in '99. Too bad that the voting has now scrambled the original track order because I was thinking of making this mix myself.
