TIMBALAND TRACKS POLL (voting deadline Saturday, September 10th at FIFTEEN AFTER THE HOUR midnight EST)

lol there was a period of time where I liked the Lost Prophets cover of "Cry Me a River" more than JT's original

I think something in my psyche deeply distrusts Timbaland

or maybe more accurately, deeply distrusts Timbaland unless he is working with hot hot women

(because my #1 might be "Oops Oh My")

like missy elliott?

i think the video for "the rain" was the last one where, the first time i saw it, i watched like another three hours of mtv just hoping i would see/hear it again

do you remember - ginuwine

"The Rain" is the one big canon track I'm gonna be contrarian about here, i've never really gotten into that one

like missy elliott?

I didn't even get on the Missy train until "Beep Me 911", which made me retroactively appreciate "The Rain" and "Sock It To Me".

Can I throw some hipster kisses towards:

Jay-z - it's hot
Bubba sparxxx - twerk a little
Aaliyah - we need a resolution
Missy - smooth chick
Petey pablo - get on dis motorcycle
Ginuwine and Aaliyah - final warning
Kiley dean - keep it moving

omg "We Need A Resolution"

why the hell is that not on Spotify

kiley dean - america

I think I'm going to skip this poll and wait for the results... I basically only know 'Try Again', 'Get Yr Freak On', 'Cry Me a River' and Nelly Furtado's Loose album (which is great BTW).

that's enough for a top 10, i won't be a snob if you want to vote

Yeah I love what I know from his production work but I might also abstain from working as I'm barely a connoiseur and I don't want to skew the results with the best known material.

if i was gonna vote for a nelly furtardo song it would be this

"whatcha gonna do" is so sick

fela sample, yeah?

for some reason this seems way harder than the prince poll, i don't think i can do it

working = voting. I don't know what I was thinking.

IMO this is the Nelly song to vote for:

pretty much that whole album is great tho

Ah, just vote everyone - some dude needs your love. (I normally get in early but I'm going to need to research this one - again, a spotify playlist would be most helpful).

yeah its like top 25 of the decade for me

Ok I know what I'll do, I'll vote but I'll limit myself to only one song per artists with whom he has collaborated with. Also picking 'do it' as my Nelly Furtado choice, even though he stole the sample and refused to give credit.

you know, 'hola hovito' is underrated (maybe unfairly maligned?) as a timbo beat

Ismael, I started a spotify playlist
TIMBALAND TRACKS POLL (voting deadling Saturday, September 10th midnight EST)

yeah it being such an outlier on The Blueprint has really hurt its reputation but it's so great (xpost)

imo even a top 5 or top 10 of obvious choices would be good in terms of strengthening the consensus of the winning tracks...no data is bad data, to put it in statistical terms.

just going to announce that if "my love" finishes in the top 10 of this poll that i'm going to quit ilx

i wouldn't be mad at that tbh -- it'll probably do well as the last really undisputed classic, the same way "Beautiful Day" got into the top 10 of a U2 poll that heavily favored early stuff. i know "My Love" will definitely be the highest (and possibly only) Danja-era production on my ballot.

I could understand not voting if this was a "favorite obscure Timbaland production"

If you really only know 5-6 Timbaland songs, you're gonna find a wealth of things to explore in the countdown up to #10 anyway, and half the top 10 will surprise you, so there's really no reason to abstain

you know, 'hola hovito' is underrated (maybe unfairly maligned?) as a timbo beat

was coming on here just to post something like this

Out of any Nelly songs I'd vote "Maneater", even if it's the obvious one. So good. I know FS/LS is better than Loose but Justin is just too douchey for me to ever really like.

man, I love "If Your Girl Only Knew."

Apart from the earlier songs mentioned off Loose, I really like the opening track:
Nelly Furtado - Afraid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNRybZ0AdYg

(BTW, I had no idea this album had so many fans!)

does 'say it right' not get any love round here? i think its pretty great, esp the intro.

has 'come and get me' been posted yet?

ha I was just about to mention "Afraid"

also, "No Hay Igual"!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1qwZnJg-ss

xp: "Say It Right" is also fantastic, man I love that album

"Say It Right" will be high on my ballot

she is ridiculously gorgeous btw

so it's ok to send a small ballot with only the obvious choices?

"Say It Right" is godly.

gotta say i prefer the "Turn Off The Light" remix to any proper Furtado/Timbaland collaboration:

yeah, say it right is defo top 10 for me

so it's ok to send a small ballot with only the obvious choices?

"Say It Right" has aged real well. I'm fond of "Release" too tbh.

This will be a big one for me. There's really not much else like it around.
