"Regret" got a lot of airplay in North American (for a New Order song). MuchMusic in Canada had the video on heavy rotation -- it was even number 1 for two weeks on their weekly countdown.

Oh! I voted for Regret. At #29, but I've got to cling to my victories.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:23 (nineteen years ago) link

'Regulate' is better than 'Regret', because it has more letters.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I am worried that someone who doesn't know New Order is going to download 'Regret' and wonder what all the fuss is about.

I'm sorry if I'm touching your wrist melissa, i'm just looking for a pulse from your sense of humor.

Both were on the radio all the time when they came out. I knew both as a kid. So shruggedyshrugshrugshrug.

I voted for "Regulate" but not "Regret." Alba's logic works for me.

Hip-hop is just a piss in the ocean anyway, taken in the broader context of what's out there to be heard.

You can't spell "Regret" without "Regulate"-r.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I think we need a 'Regrulate' NO/Warren G mashup.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

You're pulling the sense of humor card? Please.

GETO BOYS - "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" (710 points, 33 votes, 4 first place votes)

http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2002-11-08/music_string10-1.jpg

"I'm wondering why more ppl haven't ripped off/copied "Mind Playing Tricks", self-hatred, self-immolation, disgust, squalor, paranoia, brain damage, drugs drugs and more drugs, would've thought it an irresistable formula for an 'underground' of ANY description, and re 'Undergrounds' the first time I heard "MPTOM" it I thought 'great this'll be like VU where in 10/15 years there'll be 10,000 records that are like this one', so where are they?"

regulate is so goddamn smooth... (for a lazy literary reference) it's like that smoke in prufrock rubbing it's back on the window-panes.

Whether or not you think its funny, the point is I was joking.

"regrulate" :)

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:29 (nineteen years ago) link

it's all about how he hits that line "...there's NOTHING I re-gret"

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I would like a place I could call my own...THE EASTSIIIIIIIDE MOTEEEELLLLL

Wow, that's a hell of a jump, we're really hitting the big time now.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:30 (nineteen years ago) link

the Geto Boys vote was a strategic alignment conspiracy by all the hhheads, right?!!!

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

(hence the big jump)

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

For some reason, I thought the Geto Boys were fat.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

the rhythm has no bass cuz the Hook plays trebllllle!

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:32 (nineteen years ago) link

and for some reason i thought the Fat Boys were ghetto

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

and I always thought the Fat Boys were ghetto

HAW

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd forgot how absolutely propulsive Everlong is.

― smirky, Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

exciting!

it's a shame we all knew what would win long ago. COME ON EUPHORIA (NINO'S DREAM)

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:34 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe we'll be surprised?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:35 (nineteen years ago) link

You know Soon is gonna be up there, just like Loveless is gonna be in the album chart

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:35 (nineteen years ago) link

the Geto Boys vote was a strategic alignment conspiracy by all the hhheads, right?!!!

The only "conspiracy" was whatever we posted in the original thread about nominations.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

It's gonna be really funny if Everlong gets THIS much praise and doesn't even make the top 100 (it dented my top 30 so I can make this joke).

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I like to think that there are still people eagerly awaiting the positiion of 'Lazarus' by the Boo Radleys.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

c'mon "rushed" by 69 - one last push : D

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I voted for "Mind's Playing Tricks on Me" because it's a damned good song, eff a conspiracy theory

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

We more or less knew what would win in the last poll too but it didn't make the rest of the countdown any less fun :)

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

@djdee - that was a joke in ref to the whole converstaion that took place upthread/yesterday

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah begs2differ is OTM
rentboy sounds like he's setting up an affirmative action strawman to burn or something.

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I only have 'Desire' by 69. I like it very much. I will try to get this 'Rushed'.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I really shoulda voted for Everlong, I love that song but I think all the garbage Grohl's put out in the last few years kinda made me forget that.

― Josh Love (screamapillar), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

ah sorry xxxpost i know i was just joking at the time.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Are people also still holding on 'For Tomorrow' ha ha?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:39 (nineteen years ago) link

ouch.

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I do not understand why Alba doesn't understand Regret's high placing.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't blame me; I had "Everlong" at #3.
