I would've been more positively surprised had "Find Me (Odyssey to Anyoona)", "Rhythm Is a Dancer", "The Key, the Secret" or "Rhythm of the Night" made the list, but I guess there's little love for Europop here.

ha - at first i thought that said 'everlast'!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

if everlong doesn't make it blame me for not voting thirty

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

all the "prediction" tracks are popping up BEFORE the top 20. Either beauty or horror awaits.

― uh oh, Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

if "sex-type thing" pops up i'm gonna be wishing more brits had voted

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

No.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

EVEN FLOW! EVEN FLOW!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha was "Even Flow" even nominated?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

20 to go, and I'll see if I can't get through them tomorrow.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

o man does "shine" rank? i thought i was the only ilxor to like (or actually LOVE) that song? EVEN MICCIO HATES "SHINE"

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool, thanks Gear. (x-poat)

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I like "Shine", but I don't think it was even nominated.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's amusing that American's didn't even deign to nominate our version of rock-revival schlock that dominated our airwaves in the 90s while the Brits still seem totally enamored with their version.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

20. Kelis - "Get Along With You"

17. Geto Boys - "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me"
16. Aaliyah - "Are You That Somebody?"

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Montell Jordan will be somewhere in the top 20.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex in SF I kiss you

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't even know what this rock-revival schlock is! I can only think of Oasis and they've hardly figured at all.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe Dre and the Geto Boys won't be in the top 10, but a lot of stuff shocks me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

already had 100, 000 fireflies and, now, the state I am in.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

PUT YOUR HANDS UP! PUT YOUR HANDS UP! REEF REEF REEF!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh - I missed 'The State I Am In'. Swap that 'Everlong' thing for it at #13 then.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

"no diggity" will be top fifteen at least

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and '100000 Freflies'. Whoops. I am a useless pundit. Err - stick in... 'Music Sounds Better With You' then.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still hoping for Everybody In The Place, but I realise this is probably futile.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

woah woah woah I assumed this "shine" that kept being mentioned was some techno track (almost rhymes with "chime"). You guys were talking about COLLECTIVE SOUL?!?!?!?!?!

WTF vote for "Cumbersome" why doncha jesus m crow wtf.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

(I guess there should have been a rule that only one, maximum two tracks per band/artist to be allowed in but we have gone too far)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

WHOA HEAVEN LETYOURLITE*SHINE*DOWN

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

If "Shine" makes the top 20 I'm gonna tie y'all up, cover your mouths and nostrils with Local H and Weezer bumper stickers and throw yer asses in the drink.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

#1 WILL BE GLYCERINE AND THE COUNTRIES WILL BE UNITED

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

NO COLLECTIVE SOUL OR BUSH FANS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS THREAD.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

YET.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

(don't worry, neither were nominated. But we can still choose to hurt their fans if they so happen to show up)

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

WHY WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE TOADIES

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to admit the idea of Nirvana making the top 20 makes me giggle. It's like voting for "Hey Jude."

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

That's nothing, "Paranoid Android" in the top five is like voting for "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

"Unfinished Sympathy" is like voting for "Hotel California".

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

'Common People' at #1 is like voting for 'Common People'!

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe in your country

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

"Common People" is like voting for "I Just Called To Say I Loved You".

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

"Common People" is the Hitler-Esque XTC.

did anybody else vote for "Ice Ice Baby"? It didn't make the OMGWTFLOL list and I'd hate to think it doesn't get a nod in either canon.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Did chuck eddy vote?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean at least "Return Of The Mack" made that one.

(x-post)

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I had Ice Ice Baby at 10, if that gives you any cheer - most of mine aren't coming up though, so take from that what you will.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I kinda wish the top 20 was made entirely of Sebadoh tracks.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Sebadoh: The United States version of Pulp.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

hardly! The US version of Pulp was Britney Spears (big fuck-crazy showtunes)
