nj is so mad people don't agree with him he's now stopped even talking about music and started trolling the forum with disgusting pictures.
Can't those pictures be deleted?
Umm, who is this "him" of whom you speak?
Agreed about the picture, though. Not quite as awful as the one last year, but close enough. There's no reason for that. This isn't 4chan, for Christ's sake.
I don't like the picture either, but I'm afraid it's too late to delete it now as that would also delete all the later posts, since they are replies to nj's post.

Comments: As good as this song is, I am always puzzled to see it the recurrent pick for this album which has, for me, best standout tracks like Couleurs or We own the sky (#67) (Nassim)
While some of the teenage angst on Saturdays = Youth is too uncomfortable to bear, this is lovely. (Moonbeam)
The 80s revival marked many sounds of the 00s, but very few evocated the 80s synth-pop as brilliantly as M83, with its dreamy voices, airy beats and floating synths. (Honorio)

Comments: One of those forgotten songs from my pre-teen years that I'm more than happy to rediscover. #54. (Evan)
This song probably matters more to me than any other of the 2000s. I had grown disinterested by most contemporary music throughout the doldrums of the 90s, only seeking out releases by established favorites with only a few exceptions. But when I heard that chugging synth and the hypnotic "la la la" chant, my whole being became transfixed. When I saw the end of the video credits list the artist as Kylie Minogue, who I only knew from "Locomotion", I was shocked. At once, my interest in exploring new music was firmly reestablished, and I discovered this website soon thereafter. This is one of the greatest pop songs of all time as Kylie effortlessly plays the half dream/half nightmare of romantic obsession to a futuristic synthesized brave new world. (Moonbeam)
I can't get Kylie out of my head. I've always liked Kylie Minogue but the Stock, Aitken & Waterman awful 80s sound was a letdown. That's why I was so glad to see her succeeding widely and gaining critic credibility doing anything but good mainstream music with "Some Kind of Bliss", "Spinning Around” and exploding with this "Can't Get You out of My Head". (Honorio)
The way Gorillaz blurred not only genre boundaries but media boundaries sure felt like a revolution. Demon Days is the apex, but this was a fantastic first glimpse. (Moonbeam)
Comments: One of the best vocal performances of the decade, for sure. Holy crackers. (Moonbeam)
Grizzly Bear elaborate a lot their simple pop songs, with "Two Weeks" as the best prove of their way of combining immediacy and luminosity with complexity and subtlety. (Honorio)
Interesting to see all these R&B songs next to each other in the 80s and 90s. In my mind, 1 Thing is by far the best of them all.
Agreed (obviously, since it was my #3 song)
I'm sorry I was not able to take part in the discussions on this and the album poll. But I wanted to quickly speak up for "1 Thing." The sample is mind-blowingly great every time I hear it. And I enjoy Amerie's vocal more and more each time I hear the song (and I've been listening to it quite a lot). She doesn't have a particularly powerful voice, but she has a nicely-controlled, ever-so-slight tremolo that I like, and a light yet confident upper register.
But most of all, her vocal is soooooo sexy. She sounds like an intelligent young woman who should damn well know better, but can't help coming back again and again for that elusive, transgressive, irresistable "1 thing." Yikes. What a way to inflate a man's - ummmmm - ego.
Maybe we should think about moving to a forum which has logins and moderation options?
Right now if AM was just a little more high profile a site it'd be vulnerable to all kinds of spam attacks, posting under other peoples' handles, and things like that. At the Mubi forum there's somebody who keeps coming back and posting all these racist pornographic pictures, and if we can't delete things like that without deleting a whole lot of legitimate posts, that's a problem.

I think it's worth deleting it. We can repost our posts, but that picture really messes this thread up especially since the thread will be archived in the History of AM Polls.
One person's stupid post shouldn't make us lose confidence in a community that can cope perfectly well without censorship.
Let's talk about music instead. Sufjan Stevens... I'm pleasantly surprised that all 3 of his songs are in the top 30. I thought split-voting might have had a negative effect.
Such Great Heights this high is a surprise. I thought it would place bottom 20.
As far as songs with Antony vocals, I'm shocked Hope There's Someone beat out Blind by 40 places. Blind is just an amazing track, a 21st century "Blue Monday."
