Best albums (and tracks) of YOUR favourite albums (and tracks) of the ENTIRE NOUGHTIES: 2000-2009 Ballot Poll Nominations + Campaigning Thread

That being said, if New Slang places I'm gonna burn ilx down

"new slang" is not within the realm of the phenomenon i was crudely gesturing at. but oh well looks like i'm an antipoptimist now

new slang is awesome, fuck you all

I'm in love with the idea that there is trv kvlt pop and false token pop for poseurs.

disagree with the ridiculous premise but i agree that disqualifying "since u been gone" would improve the poll results

anyone whose favorite beyoncé, britney spears and kelly clarkson songs are respectively "crazy in love", "toxic" and "since u been gone" is highly suspect of preferring music listmaking as an intellectual exercise over actually listening to music. 100% serious.

maybe not 100%. but mostly serious.

oh fuck off

we certainly wouldn't want our poll to favor those sorts of people, would we?

This whole derail is ridiculous. Extremely popular tracks by already popular artists have transcended compartmentalization for reasons that have fuck all to do with listmaking nerds and tokenism. They did so because their appeal was broader than usual for myriad reasons.

Think like a person who doesn't consume music all day everyday. When know it alls and normies find common ground, it's not because one is pandering to the other. It just means the song is undeniable.

yes

I wish it could be, like, one of the alt. versions of "Mississippi"

look, i just stated my opinion and would have left it at that had people not responded as if i had just announced my intention to murder a small child. it's a fairly unremarkable opinion for someone who's uneasy about certain aspects of the canonization process, as i am, to hold, and the so-far indignant responses to this position have not really swayed me. in the interest of cutting short this brief digression from the thread's intended purpose, if anyone else really feels the strong need to tell me how dumb my position is or why, feel free to let me know elsewhere or privately.

thanks! i'll try to refrain from posting any more off-the-cuff thoughts and dumb questions now and hopefully my next post will be actual noms.

dyl, I don't think your position is dumb at all! I probably won't vote for most of the likely favorites, just think they should be nominated

the rollout will be something else I hope

I’m not an *NSYNC fan per se, but I nominated “Bye Bye Bye” b/c I thought it Deserved to Be Here

Richard wolfsdorf - Bosch

its 1996!

I'm in love with the idea that there is trv kvlt pop and false token pop for poseurs.

I think most prescriptive approaches are quite endearing in their limitations. the idea that even the most lowest common denominator song can only truly profitably be assessed in the context of the artists back cat or some particular idea of genre is one of the less interesting ones tho

the trv kvlt stans of those artists probably love those songs anyway. Where are the Britney fans complaining about “toxic”?

yeah like i can understand the argument that maybe "crazy in love" is weirdly overvalued in the 00s canon compared to other beyonce singles, but "toxic" really is that good, even compared to the many other great britney singles of the time, i have no problem holding it up as one of the peaks of 00s pop

lol only last night tt was putting down 'toxic' in comparison to 'oops i did it again'

i said i liked both ^_^

and i will enjoy rolling both of them out if placed, as is my duty

Don't misquote me! It was in comparison to all Britney, and I can't really pinpoint why I don't like it because it's a really good song. Since U Been Gone = great. New Slang = great.

what i WILL say is that this time, i am quite in favour of treating remixes separately to originals. this was the decade of the remix after all and if a remix or two (or more!) could make the 77 under its own steam i think that would be important or whatever

i mean that's trite and reductive to call it the decade of the remix but it does feel like an apex of sorts

I've realized that I have made a grave error upthread, which I will now correct. I know there's not a snowball's chance in hell of it ever placing, but as a matter of principle:

TRACK

Sambomaster - Sono Nukumori ni You ga aru Sekai wa Sore o Ai to Yobundaze

(30/30)

lol only last night tt was putting down 'toxic' in comparison to 'oops i did it again'

"Womanizer" above both.

To play “dyl’s advocate” — “Since U Been Gone” and “Toxic” do have a certain aura of “pop songs that rock critics decided it was ok to stan for,” fsr. Doesn’t mean they’re not good songs! just not personal faves of mine, but they’ll no doubt place high in this poll.

I wondered why I couldn't find that Sambomaster track. I'll see if the new name is on Spotify...

Haha, you'll probably not find this one on Spotify, either. My mistake wasn't the title; just that I chose the inferior song.

It looks like there is a bizarre lullaby music-box version of it on Spotify, but that's not what I'm nominating.
