Village Voice's F2K

this is my favourite tila tequila track:

how do you even begin to choose just one

tila's choice

Okay, usually I'm just amused by crappy cover versions, but #2 is genuinely offensive! Who are the idiots behind this atrocity?

loooooooooooooooooool. for all we had to put up with terrible indie bands and lolwhateveritiskerrangwriteabout, im so glad britisherland never really had anything like that whole staind puddle of mudd limp bizkit thing that went on in america.

also love that the 'original' is labelled on youtube as 'Whats Going On (HIV/AIDS tribute)' like it is in honour of HIV/AIDS.

ugh @ tila in general

i remember on the 'what genre...' thread i just couldn't stop roffling at the hilarious sexual innuendo of 'up! down! up! down! up! down! up! down! it will get hard!'

on the plus side, it makes me think of this amazing disco track:

(okay, now back to the crap)

that tila tequila song sounds like millionaires, only worse, which isn't something i ever anticipated writing

holding out that Everclear's "A.M. Radio" pulls away with top honors

lol. the choice would have a poetic quality too, a song that makes nostalgia for the past sound worse than any of the musical horrors that came this decade.

i honestly was thinking about going challops route and making "Don't Stop Believing" #1

#1 - YOUR YOUNGER SIBLING'S COMPUTER

hahaha

i'm not gonna give it away, but i will say that #1 is an actual charting song

hheeeyy i just noticed we haven't seen eminem yet

putting my money on that (hard to believe LL would come up and not him)

ugh @ tila in general

Tila saying that Rihanna deserved to be beaten up was a classy classy move.

other hated charters yet to be represented:

flo rida
will.i.am or fergie (it's not like "my humps" was the worst thing either appeared on)
chris brown
creed
clay aiken (or any Idol vet)
katy perry

shady seems easily the most deserving, though

whiney would never do his girl katy like that

don't drown me like that, don't drown me like that, u know i love u baby, don't drown me like that

TS: "Ass Like That" vs. "Just Lose It"

fergie

I think "Big Girls Don't Cry" would at least be in my top 5 worst singles of this decade.

don't forget "labels or love."

but oh man, eminem. Mockingbird, When I'm Gone, 3am, Beautiful, Ass Like That...so many options. The only post "Lose Yourself" (which I don't even care for much) single I'll rep for is "Just Lose It" and I know I'm in the minority on that one.

was there one where a fart sound was part of the beat?

what about his single that was designed to SHIFT THE COURSE OF THE ELECTION

i liked bully but it wasn't a single.

(or how to really contribute to a thread.)

"mosh" apparently did not even chart, shockingly

lol "mosh" is eminem's only song to make pazz'n'jop since "lose yourself," coming it at no. 12 in 2004, tied with Loretta Lynn's "Portland, Oregon" and just ahead of the killers and LCD Soundsystem.

how do you know that, half the pazz and jop results are lost in the sands of the internet

time it was what a time it was

fu voice/new times for taking down the 04 p'n'j section so i can't find out who voted for "mosh" and ponder whether or not they'd prefer to listen to that or LCD's "yeah" if asked today

all the top 40s are on xgau's website, it's only the ballots that are lost

this might help?

read more carefully, chuck

Yeah, just noticed that, as soon as I posted; jumped ahead a few posts.

I'd be pretty surprised if any of those wayback machine searches (which seem to take forever to load) turn up lists of individual P&J voters' ballots, and associated lists of voters for each song/album. Those ballots never ran in an actual Voice "issue", on the net or in print (just a special link that was never conistently reliable even when live), but I guess that doesn't mean they might not still be out there, somewhere. (The New Times folks seem to have erased everything, but the links were always kinda shakey, even under the old regime.)

it turned it up and poring through them now

put my findings on the Mosh thread so any tangential nostalgia lols can continue there.

I hope it's not a has-been like eminem

eminem has been doing some good stuff the last few months, i'm actually very interested in hearing his next album after the disappointment(? can't say i was expecting a lot) of relapse

maura and i just spent like four hours writing this thing

#1!

(fuck you, Ned!)

(just kidding, but I had to take the opportunity)

a little bummed that the top is an admittedly hellish cover rather while a true shitstorm Shady goes unacknowledged entirely. i'm not sold that hellish covers are a notable aspect of the 00s so much as pop in general (though youtube does make it easier to poop one out without really promoting it), and I'd hate for negligible artists to think they should focus on their originals (which I really think tend to be worse - sure adam duritz ripped us a big one of his own this decade) instead of inane takes on old chestnuts. I mean better they reiterate the canon instead of attempting to add new entries.

That said, this list was lolgastic, and I'm obviously grateful for something to blather about.

don't ask me what "lolgastic" means because i don't know

yeah, the one gripe i keep making about this list is that there are too many sullied 20th century songs, not enough terrible songs actually written in the last 10 years represented

still, it's been a hell of a ride! especially this thread becoming ground zero to track the death of idolator.

I will say this: the Counting Crows cover is always playing in my doctor's waiting room, so there is a lot of fear and dread I associate w/this song.
