No haters in a while now, but I've actually got one left. Anyone else?

Yes, one of these is badly overrated imo.

Cee-Lo's vocal acrobatics and the punchy guitar get all the credit, but it is the eerie background vocals that really sell this to me. (Moonbeam)

In a decade where mainstream and indie audiences travelled paths each time more divergent there was a song in the middle of the 00s that appeared to please everyone. It was not exactly pop or rap but it found the link between both styles (soul, you know), it sounded both retro and contemporary (neo-soul, that's it) but it succeeded mainly because it was GREAT. (Honorio)

This song hits me like a sustained lightning bolt. I remember the exact moment I first heard it driving to work at a new job to start a new life in a new country, but ever mindful of everything that I had left behind. As time has gone on, I've had less and less opportunity to communicate with (much less see) my loved ones, and I'll be damned if this song doesn't capture that longing ache. (Moonbeam)

This one's going to last forever. #4. (Evan)

I should like this a heck of a lot more than I do. It is wildly vibrant, but my favorite from The Love Below will always be "Prototype". (Moonbeam)

Blender tried to describe "Hey Ya!" like "electro/folk-rock/funk/power pop/hip-hop/neo-soul/kitchen sink rave-up". But the thing it was basically was pure fun. (Honorio)

So overrated, I liked it as a child but now? (Depeche Mode)

So that was it.

I want to thank all who participated for the final or any year poll (albums or songs). Big thanks for those who wrote comments. The presentation looks much better with wise words. Also big thanks for people who commented in threads.

Excellent presentation Petri, and great (somewhat unexpected) results!

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Songs of the 00s Results part 2

Great results, generally speaking. I find the song results more interesting because not as much consensus has developed around the songs, so the results are more unpredictable.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Songs of the 00s Results part 2

The most unpredictable results ever? Nevertheless, I think we are all generally happy with the results. I had a great time following this. Thank you, Petri!

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Songs of the 00s Results part 2

Well, I'm glad somethings on this forum aren't predictable.
Now we enter the 90's poll, where the winners are as predictable as the phases of the moon (Automatic for the People....duh!)

Excellent job Petri. I learn more about my musical preferences with each of the polls and enjoy reading the perspectives of others, especially when I initially don't share the views of the person providing the comment.
