"Angel" is slow motion apocalypse. It's like the bomb first drops, then goes off, then has to fight its way through, indeed, tar or something similar.

I dont care what anyone else says, it can only be 'Alec Eiffel'. Someone here once said that there are more amazing ideas within these 3 minutes than in many a band's entire output. (Including the Pixies? Hahaha...!) I hope it plays in the club I'm going to later tonight, because I feel like dancing - no, flying! - on that song so much right now...

DESTINY'S CHILD - "Say My Name" (272 points, 19 votes)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004RD03.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Is there a DC track more perfect and succinct than this? Maybe, but they're not here and this is. And right now it sounds like the best thing they ever did. It's pretty much Beyonce's show as usual and typically her strength is not really deployed until the end - the music not really rising with her though, preferring to remain in it's regimented but bounceable sync-pop groove, comfortable as it is. As pure Summery modern pop with soul tones it's flawless in conception and execution.

Taken from comments on the '00s poll, this song knows not the boundaries of millenia.

NAUGHTY BY NATURE - "O.P.P." (276 points, 14 votes)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000HGJ.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
One band that I think history's given a rough deal to is Naughty By Nature. I still think that their biggest trick- using lyrical themes to contrast their always-so-damn-obvious samples, not as a gesture of subversion per se, but to give the songs some *conflict*- is pure genius. It's there on "O.P.P." of course, the exuberant innocence of The Jackson Five vs. the sly evil of the subject matter...

I mentioned the various club comps because I believe they were the biggest cash cows (and chart successes) of the UK club scene, but if I'm way off in that assumption then someone please clarify.

I don't know enough about USA charts to comment on MindInRewind's comparison. Certainly there was a lot of dance in the charts here, though obv. daytime radio tended towards the poppier stuff.
