michigancat · December 12, 2008, 03:44:47 PM

How are you defining "pop"?

Should be based on billboard singles charts IMO.

QFT. Gwen Stefani =

Timberlake's SexyBack, My Love, or even Dick in a Box should be given some love as well.

meh, yeah good point.

I didn't go too deep in to the B-sides did I?

Was not trying to be cool. Sigur Ros was HUGE in Euro, so I counted them (cheapskis).

Any others that are dq'd that way? Maybe Winehouse should be Rehab instead of Back to Black?

Kat Kid · December 12, 2008, 03:48:18 PM

All the rest were big hits top 100 at least if not top 40.

michigancat · December 12, 2008, 03:50:05 PM

I almost think it should be top 10. Not sure. Would cut out a lot of riff-raff.

fatty fat fat · December 12, 2008, 03:53:49 PM

qft. where the f*ck is j-timbs?

Kat Kid · December 12, 2008, 03:58:55 PM

ok:

Hey Ya
Crazy
Hollaback Girl
South Side
99 Problems
Get Low
Seven Nation Army
Beautiful

South Side #14 all the rest top 10 pretty sure.

NOMINATE!

yosh · December 12, 2008, 04:00:15 PM

Top 5 from that list:

Outkast, Killers, Lil John, Moby and White Stripes <<<----simply for Wichita ref.

michigancat · December 12, 2008, 04:05:58 PM

1) Crazy (not even close IMO)
2) Hey Yeah
3) HollaBack Girl
4) Cry me a River (J-Timbs)

Not sure any of the others belong.

Kat Kid · December 12, 2008, 04:24:05 PM

It is hard after the first two:

1) Crazy
2) Hey Ya!

really no others in the galaxy.

Maybe like this:

99 Problems deserves on there (or another Jay-Z song)
Big Pimpin maybe?

Seven Nation Army has incredible staying power and is an arena jam for our future

Beautiful is a great song, but easily forgotten summer jam

Get Low was an absolute fist f. V .ck in public dance jam

Cry me a river is an unbelievably good song that turned Britney into a raving lunatic

For me here is my first draft:

1&2) Crazy and Hey Ya! (interchangeable AMAZING)
3) 7 Nation Army
4) Get Low
5) Big Pimpin

Kat Kid · December 12, 2008, 04:25:52 PM

If it was a catchy songs that excite me list:

1) Crazy
2) MGMT "Time to Pretend"
3) MIA "Paper Planes"
4) Hey Ya!
5) The Shins "New Slang"

catzacker · December 12, 2008, 04:39:14 PM

If we're talking new millenium, just some songs that haven't been mentioned:

Bye, Bye, Bye (this was 2000)
In da Club
Gold Digger

mine would be

1) Crazy
2) Paper Planes
3) 99 Problems
4) HollaBack Girl
5) Viva La Vida (shut up, it's a good song)

michigancat · December 12, 2008, 05:00:24 PM

Paper Planes made top 10? That would be #3, then.

cireksu · December 12, 2008, 05:23:06 PM

no eminem?

pretty new millenium IMO.

not pop?

hemmy · December 12, 2008, 06:58:54 PM

99 problems is such a garbage song, and not pop IMO

New Millennium means 2000-2008 IMHO.
