Seal.

Between Portishead and Skee-Lo for me, and that really depends what mood I'm in on any given day.

Voted Skee-Lo

Skee-Lo. Though all three are great.

"Kiss from a Rose" was one of my favorites songs that year--don't remember the other two.

wow those are three good songs

Portishead, though Skee-Lo is also A+

Voted Skee-Lo, which I like but don't love. Have never comprehended the appeal of Seal, that song included.

These are all really good songs but "Kiss From a Rose" is one of my favorite melodies ever.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Hard to beat Seal's best ever moment here.

Have never comprehended the appeal of Seal, that song included.

Agree with this, except for "Kiss from a Rose." Disliked "Crazy" as much as Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy."

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2011 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link

that makes me want to start a Seal vs. Gnarls Barkley thread but i think the result would just make me angry

some dude, Saturday, 11 June 2011 23:44 (thirteen years ago) link

Make sure you include Patsy Cline, too.

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2011 23:47 (thirteen years ago) link

And (ugh) Aerosmith. There are other "Crazy"s on Wikipedia's list, but I think those would be the four most famous.

that makes me want to start a Seal vs. Gnarls Barkley thread but i think the result would just make me angry

does that make you crazy?

The Edge of Gloryhole (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 11 June 2011 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link

Then there's this "Crazy":

obv there are tons of pop hits called "Crazy" but iirc there are 2 contemporary cross format dance smashes sung by bald black men

some dude, Sunday, 12 June 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link

You mean Patsy Cline wasn't a bald black man? News to me.

clemenza, Sunday, 12 June 2011 00:08 (thirteen years ago) link

I started a Crazy poll a while back, but left off a ton of songs people wanted to vote for so it was a really grumpy thread.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 12 June 2011 00:10 (thirteen years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Sunday, 12 June 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link

seal wasn't bald when he sang 'crazy'.
