If you've been around the org for more than 3 years, you may remember the Jams Of The Year contest I ran in the summer of 2003. I recently rediscovered this while going through an old e-mail account, so I figured it's time for an update - feel free to vote even if you weren't around at the time. The following tracks are what were voted as the Jams Of The Year for 1978-2003:

1978 - Just As Long As We're Together
1979 - I Wanna Be Your Lover
1980 - Uptown
1981 - Controversy
1982 - Lady Cab Driver
1983 - Irresistible Bitch
1984 - The Beautiful Ones
1985 - Condition Of The Heart
1986 - Sometimes It Snows In April
1987 - If I Was Your Girlfriend
1988 - Anna Stesia
1989 - The Future
1990 - Joy In Repetition
1991 - Gett Off
1992 - 7
1993 - Power Fantastic
1994 - Rockhard In A Funky Place
1995 - P Control
1996 - The Love We Make
1997 - Don't Play Me
1998 - Crystal Ball
1999 - When The Lights Go Down
2000 - When Will We B Paid?
2001 - Rainbow Children
2002 - One Nite Alone...
2003 - East

There weren't any tracks released later in 2003, so the 2003 winner will stand. Now it's time to vote for the Jams Of The Year for 2004-2006. These tracks are listed by original release date.

How to participate:
Vote for one song from each year that you would like REMOVED from the next round.

*2004 notes: Reflection was released as an NPGMC download in 2003, and was voted off already. What Do U Want Me 2 Do? was played as a stream on NPGMC in 2003, but not available to own until 2004, hence its inclusion here.

2005
Glass Cutter
S.S.T.
Brand New Orleans
Te Amo Corazon
*2005 notes: Glass Cutter was played as a stream on NPGMC in 2004, but not available to own until 2005, hence its inclusion here.

2006

*2006 notes: Satisfied was available as a snippet of a live medley in 2005, but not as a full studio track until 2006, hence its inclusion here. The Dance was originally available in a different version on The Chocolate Invasion collection in 2004, so it is included in the list for that year.


Remember, to participate, vote for one song from each year that you would like REMOVED from the next round.

OK, I guess I should vote myself:

2004 - Life O' The Party - easy choice.
2005 - S.S.T. - hard one. I like all four tracks, although in very different ways.
2006 - Incense And Candles - generic last-decade Prince with some dated vocoder. Still a pretty strong track - just nothing original.

2006
