Whew. I was worried I'd unwittingly ripped-off the metal box-chowing vocalization line. Whatever gets people to (belatedly) listen to the track.

-- randy mamola (rand...), August 29th, 2004.
I can't believe Britney has 3 tracks and "Dirrty" didn't even make it!!! There should be a recount without the HATE VOTES!!! (I think it would have been #88 or something.)
Great job anyway Stevem, this was lots of fun! I wonder what I'll be looking forward to every morning from now on... Quick, bring on the 90's poll!
-- Seb (sebastien.caro...), August 29th, 2004.
WOW Who voted for Peom-Cees? (Ned didn't vote!)
-- VengaDan Perry (djperr...), August 29th, 2004.

ILM in NOT-ENOUGH-LOVE-FOR-2STEP SHOCKAH!
I was just thinking about this tonight. I loved "Out Of Your Mind" and "Crazy Love" soooo much back in the day.
Also, what about Spiller "Groovejet" and Modjo "Lady"!!!
-- Spencer Chow (spencercho...), September 1st, 2004.
and what about No Doubt's "Hella Good" eh?????!!!!?????
(many have already said this, but it can't be said enough - thank you very much for all this Steve, you're a hero!)
-- Mind Taker (djevojk...), September 1st, 2004.
Also, what about Spiller "Groovejet" and Modjo "Lady"!!!
Both of these didn't even occur to me, possibly because they now seem so long ago. It was only this morning when I suddenly thought "where the hell is Can't Get You Out Of My Head?!"
-- Matt DC (runmd...), September 1st, 2004.
I thought of Spiller, and the FT disdain for it.
-- Alba (albab...), September 1st, 2004.

btw steve it's "party up" not "party hard" but a dmx/awk bootleg seems urgent now
-- jess (wt...), September 1st, 2004.
36. Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up Look Sharp
(All these would definitely have made the Top 100 had they been nominated, except perhaps Slow)
-- Matt DC (runmd...), September 1st, 2004.
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't directing that comment at anyone who had posted so far, Matt. They wouldn't all though - that would be ridiculous.
37. The White Stripes - 'Fell In Love With A Girl'
-- Alba (albab...), September 1st, 2004.
i think it's false to say these would have made the top 100 give the cif voting block
-- jess (wt...), September 1st, 2004.
Sade would have only got 2 votes
-- the neurotic awakening of s (stevem7...), September 1st, 2004.
so many radiohead songs...
-- jess (wt...), September 1st, 2004.
Stevem, it would have got far more than 2 votes:

-- the neurotic awakening of s (stevem7...), September 1st, 2004.
(Okay Love Story is a bit of a long shot...)

59. Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit
I think we might genuinely find 100 songs that could have placed here.
-- Matt DC (runmd...), September 1st, 2004.
I like the idea of getting to 100 songs, with the implication that not a single track on the original list would have made it if these had been nominated.
-- Alba (albab...), September 1st, 2004.
60. System Of A Down 'Chop Suey'
61. Limp Bizkit 'Rollin'

yeah, but I would personally ditch the 2 originals. This is the one mash-up which IMO improves on both its sources.
-- zebedee (zebede...), September 1st, 2004.

ok Missy 'One Minute Man' then
