I like “fuck the cops” way better than “hip hop” but glad to see the prez... didn’t Kanye have something to do with the drums on “hip hop” or am I imagining things?

drums/beat whatever
― brimstead, Sunday, 13 October 2019 22:06 (four years ago) link
wait no I’m thinking of “they schools”, not “fuck the cops”. Been awhile!

I hope a third Aaliyah track places because that'll be the one I voted for.
― Pauline Male (Eric H.), Sunday, 13 October 2019 22:22 (four years ago) link
I like the bit in the Strokes' song when they sing 'I'm not like that'. I'm sure there must be a musical reason for it.

Whoa, too lowthere is no such thing as too low in this poll where we could only select 50 songs from the most thrilling decade for singles in recorded history

Thrilled to see two of my favourite songs ever placing, even if it is at #93 and #96.
Good stuff all around so far (except maybe Spoon).

We Need A Resolution to check our facts carefully

Voted Eple and B. Jaxx. Couldn’t decide between the two Aaliyah songs and in the end voted for neither; figured they would do all right without my help but it was a close run thing in the end!

hadn't heard "relevee (carl craig remix)" before and it rules so already greatly enjoying this rollout

Glad to see Spoon make this poll, knew they would do well on the albums side but unsure about the tracks side.

"Hard to Explain" did make my long list but not the final cut. Probably the only Strokes song I care about.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Sunday, 13 October 2019 23:40 (four years ago) link
favorite Spoon is Inside Out from 2014 album They Want My Soul

This could potentially be the Spoon song most worth "getting", at least ime:

Excellent Party Down reference title!
Interesting start to the poll. Very heavy on the first few years of the decade.
I gave Aaliyah a good amount of points in albums, but didn't end up finding room for any of her singles. I'm happy to see any of them place.
I'm somewhere in the middle with Spoon. I've cooled on them a bit in recent years, especially as the last two albums were fairly average. They had a great run in the 2000s though. Everything Hits At Once is one of the reasons why they were far ahead of so many other guitar bands in that era. It's such a beautiful melody and their production was always immaculate. Even on their weaker albums, they still sound so good.
I really should have voted for something by The Strokes. I still get a lot from Hard To Explain after all this time.
― kitchen person, Sunday, 13 October 2019 23:55 (four years ago) link
I get this is a 2000s poll, but the fact that "Are we having fun yet?" is considered a Party Down thing and not a Zippy the Pinhead thing is extremely tilting to me.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 14 October 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
Huh, I had no idea about the Nickelback reference. Kind of ruins it for me a bit.
― kitchen person, Monday, 14 October 2019 00:29 (four years ago) link
Ah! This is a great start! I love or like most of these songs, I think the only one I don’t care about and even find annoying is “where’s your head at?”, and I do like a lot other Basement Jaxx singles from this album. It’s certainly fun but obnoxiously so.
