Lots of great songs here and voting "New Slang" to make sure it gets a vote.

Torn between Missy, Kylie and Bjork so went Pagan Poetry purely on the basis of those bass synths and the goosebumpy "I love him" outro section.

Surprised "Bootylicious" is so low. Love both Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx songs and of course Missy, but I'm voting for "Emerge" for making me go out dancing again.

"Bootylicious" no match for every single Strokes song, apparently.

Hearing the first line alone, "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad", rockets me into deep depression. The downward spiral in Albarn's pronunciation of "happy" makes me deeply miserable. What is so great, 15 years on, about that song?

I'm genuinely curious why anyone like that song. To me it's not just boring, but aggressively ugly and stupid.

at the end of this series, it would be kinda neat to see which songs have gained the most appreciation over time vs which have lost the most (roughly measured by subtracting the poll result ranking from the acclaimed music ranking; for this poll, "Last Nite" was ranked #2 on acclaimed music but tied for #17 on this poll, so it would get a score of -15, while "We Need a Resolution" was ranked #20 on acclaimed music but #4 here, so it would get a score of +16).

all of these scores could then be multiplied by .134314 to determine the ultimate score of all time ranking, which of course would feed into

interesting idea, if you take into account ties and all that. i have no problem with someone doing that at the end, those numbers would be interesting.
happy Thanksgiving to you Americans, will continue this in a weeks time.

to answer your question Le Bateau Ivre, it was the best stoner song from the year. i had the lyrics wrong, it thought it was all positive and said "I'm happy, I'm feeling glad. I've got sunshine in my bag. the future is coming on" Obama and the feeling of hope in America...

Was looking forward to a new year. These things seem to be streaching out this time around, hope it's worth the wait.
