What else could make it? The other Radiohead tracks, "Move Your Body", "Sound of the Underground", "Booo!", "21 Seconds" could be in instead of something (most likely "van lear rose"). (chart-bound ukg circa 2000-01 is really the big loser in this, isn't it? Unless so solid or booo! is in, there won't be a single track in the top 100. I sort of wasted my nomination on "girls like us" - and then didn't even vote for it. Should have nominated "freak like me" instead.)

the way this is going, I wouldn't be surprised if all three of the remaining Radiohead songs were in and, say, "made you look" was also out.

I say:

Alan Braxe and Fred Falke - Rubicon
Basement Jaxx – Romeo
Beyonce featuring Jay-Z - Crazy In Love
Britney Spears - Toxic
Daft Punk - Digital Love
Daft Punk - One More Time
Dizzee Rascal - I Luv U
Girls Aloud - No Good Advice
Jay-Z - 99 Problems
Kelis - Milkshake
LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge
Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On
Missy Elliott - Work It
Nina Sky - Move Your Body
Outkast - B.O.B.
Outkast - Hey Ya!
Outkast - Miss Jackson
R Kelly - Ignition (Remix)
Radiohead - Idioteque
Radiohead - There There
Usher - Yeah

My stretch one was "Rubicon," obviously--I'd put that on even odds with "Everything in it's Right Place" and "Letter From an Occupant"

I'm not confident about any of my variables, but I think they have a better chance than Nas or Loretta Lynn. But I'd be even more surprised if "Dirrty" made it--would that many people really consider it top 15 of the decade? I find it hard to believe.

I think mine as well...

Daft Punk, "Digital Love"
Daft Punk, "One More Time"
Dizzee Rascal, "I Luv U"
Kelis, "Milkshake"
LCD Soundsystem, "Losing My Edge"
Missy Elliott, "Get Ur Freak On"
OutKast, "B.O.B."
OutKast, "Hey Ya!"
OutKast, "Miss Jackson"
R. Kelly, "Ignition (Remix)"
Usher, "Yeah!"

I'd say "Ms. Jackson" is the odd one out, except that'd mean "The Whole Word" placed higher, and that just doesn't make much sense, does it? So I'm going with "Yeah!," though I'm by no means confident.

10. "Ms. Jackson" - OutKast
9. "Milkshake" - Kelis
8. "Losing My Edge" - LCD Soundsystem
7. "One More Time" - Daft Punk
6. "Get Ur Freak On" - Missy Elliot
5. "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)" - OutKast
4. "Digital Love" - Daft Punk
3. "Hey Ya!" - OutKast
2. "Ignition (Remix)" - R. Kelly
1. "I Luv U" - Dizzee Rascal

And how did we all miss the Avalanches?

(for lps = as heard on radio soulwax pt. 2, we love life, fever were regrettably left out)

"Freak Like Me," eh.

?

'Freak...' (and 'Overload') and 'Love At First Sight' are sad omissions and I honestly think the Kiley Dean track I nominated would've made it if more people were familiar with it. Dem's da breaks.

-- roxymuzak (emilysu...), August 22nd, 2004. (roxymuzak)

-- artiste (theartist...), August 22nd, 2004. (artiste)

but i was still kind of shocked when i opened this thread, i couldn't help it, i think there is something really corny and awful about picking hey ya #1 that there is not about picking kid a
