"ambling alp" is a great song but "o.n.e." is way better and if it were here i'd be voting for it. first half of that album is still their best work (iirc someone here likened it to lindsey buckingham? "poor man's animal collective" feels way off regardless)
otherwise i think i'd vote for "telephone," "bad romance," "french navy," or "heads will roll"

not that i'm here to defend yeasayer really bc what i've described as their "best work" is the only good work they've done lol

When Yeasayer were good they were pretty much a poor mans AnCo, and that was quite good. Then they changed and became boring.

Agreed with Brad on "O.N.E.," which is far better than "Ambling Alp." There were a couple good songs on their debut, as well, namely "2080" and "Sunrise"--I still jam to this one

Considering how recent this is, it is amazing how little memory I have retained of many of these bands (Yeasayer, The Horrors, La Roux, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart). The Big Pink I only really remember because of Nicki Minaj's use of "Dominos."

I liked the first Yeasayer album but thought the second one was terrible although I'd struggle to recall exactly what was wrong with it.

I'd actually somehow managed to forget about the existence of 'Telephone' ...

I've come around to thinking that it is Gaga's best single.

there are people who actually think that Empire State of Mind is a good song and not just a tourism commercial?it's a dumb song, but it bangs

Ouch these don't feel almost a decade old. At least I dont want them to be that old.

i remember where i was when i watched Michael Jackson's death unfold. i was working at LAX, some 30 miles from Neverland. first report was they were taking him to the hospital. we turned on the TV and watched, when we could, the day happening. a really sad day and couldn't believe that voice was gone forever.

"Empire State Of Mind" is probably still the most overrated '00s hit.

xp I enjoyed this series! Was there already a 2010 edition?
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 28 February 2017 02:37 (seven years ago) link
no have done 1960 - 2009. will have to wait for the decade to finish before doing the next 10 years i think.
will still do these run-off polls but for the most part it's over.

So could we consider Bad Romance to be in the same class of 2000s pop classics as Get Ur Freak On, Toxic, and Ignition (remix), or nah?

absolutely IMO

LOL @ Animal Collective being thwarted (as they should be) by Lady Gaga. The vocals on that track are whiny and fucking annoying.
