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

smh for all time if "my love" makes the top 10

Snoopy Track is my outside bet to place high

haha this is fun, i may set aside certain predictions to feature later as "eerily prescient" or "hilariously wrong"

i dunno y'all p4k loving hipsters and my love was their #1 of... whatever year it was. do love that song even if timb has done much better.

snoopy track was my #1 but i think timb is such a great singles guy that an album track doesnt really have a chance

oh shit how did i forget it, it must be top 10 #2: oops (oh my)

about 1/5th of the top 50 is album tracks actually

yeah but for someone who oft. produced whole albums with people, getting 40-50 isn't really making me re-think that 'my love' will do better than 'best friends' or 'snoopy track' etc.

smh if tweets 'call me' isnt in the top 10

I will take either "Call Me" or "Oops (Oh My)"

gotta be oops
al, working on yer blurbs now

cool

anyone want to be my backup person to post results if i'm busy during the day this week? like i'd just e-mail somebody a chunk of the countdown to post one at a time over a few hours if i know i'm gonna be away from the computer for a while and want to keep the results coming.

i gotta hella busy day tomorrow unfortunately.

whereas i am p free tuesday and thursday.

ok cool, i will keep you in mind. i'm guessing you don't keep the same hours as the most American crowd that will be reading the thread though? so maybe it might be easier for a US poster.

hmmm yeah, mebbe. well, if you are really stuck...

yeah no i appreciate it! i mean part of me is tempted to just post the results around the clock whenever it suits me but people seem to like having results rollouts that entertain them during the 9-5 shift so i'm going to make an effort toward the latter before resorting to the former.

al i am free thursday and friday. (so far!) (i mean i should be doing freelance stuff those days but w/e.)

also doin yr blurbs now.

aight cool -- all i'm asking is that someone c&p from an e-mail into the results thread every 20 minutes if they're already on ILM posting all day, so not looking to inconvenience anyone it wouldn't be convenient for

song i'm most annoyed about not voting for: Sock It To Me. Those horns were soooooooo sick.

like at one point in my life i need to be at a party where Sock It To Me & Simon Says are played back to back and it would be the best night ever.

i love rap songs with big fat low end horn riffs like that but personally i'll take "Who Run It" or "Shut Up" over either of those

well they are also awesome songs and if i heard all 4 in one night i think i would just cry tears of joy (while dancing my tits off)

CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLUB

omg @ at the realization 10 seconds in what that midi was

wld not be ashamed

i think i'm gonna unveil the WORST tracks now -- as in the two tracks that were selected twice on the handful of worst ballots i actually got

2. Timbaland featuring Katy Perry - "If We Ever Meet Again"

there may be no musician with a greater rift between the quality of their music overall and the quality of the content in their official VEVO than Timbaland

and now The Worst Timbaland Track Of All Time

1. Timbaland featuring OneRepublic - "Apologize"

thats relatively more inoffensive than i was expecting.

not good or anything, just sayin

there's worse stuff on both Shock Value albums and the Chris Cornell album for starters but it's pretty understandable if people haven't heard them or don't want to subject themselves to it for the sake of this poll

the reason i will never understand peoples' love of "Say It Right" is the horrible idea of backup singing Tim displays on both that and "Apologize"

it doesnt sound like tim on say it right, it sounds like one of those barely-there vocal samples

it sounds just like him on lots of other songs and he lip syncs to it in the video so there's no way i could think of it as that

guys this is worse than both

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHHUhcV2eVY

the dark side of low horn riffs

i think 4 minutes has a cool beat

in retrospect i really erred by not making my worst-of list all furtado

i enjoyed your worst ballot referring to her as 'nelly retardo'

i tried listening to some of Loose on the Spotify playlist the other day and really i pretty much hate everything about that record

man i still like most of that record -- promiscuous got overplayed tho w/ that cell phone commercial

tim's idea of singing also present on chris cornell's "ground zero"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAgB8FWbOU

"Promiscuous" IS a cell phone commercial

also here is the actual worst tim track, enjoy

Guys, diamond dogs guys

I don't count "Apologize" as a Timbo song. He just added "ehs."

and Timbo-in-a-can beatbox drums

I had forgotten that the original Tedder connection was dude contributing actually-decent backing vocals on Deliverance.

In Germany, the song was downloaded 437,000 times, making it the third best-selling download single of all time behind Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" and Lena Meyer-Landrut's "Satellite".

never should have given these people their own country back after the war imo.

I don't understand why "Satellite" is so beloved. Even by Germans.

The more often I heard it on the radio, the more I didn't mind "Apologize." It's a decent Enrique Iglesias ballad.
