IDK about that but they've always slammed SB for having no melody. I haven't heard 1 critic say the same about GM.

It has a melodic cadence going on though. The chorus of Gimme More is completely unmelodic

SexyBack is one of the greatest, most unique, interesting, groundbreaking songs of the 2000's.
gimme more is not.

Brian is right.
Without a doubt, one of the biggest classics that the 00's have to offer.

Absolutely no contest - "Gimme More", hands down. Sometimes I think I'm the only one that hates "SexyBack".

I think I agree with the essence of what Brian is saying though. SexyBack really changed the game for the pop and urban world

Sexyback is one of my favorite JT songs actually, but, Gimme More has it.
It has more of that *hit factor* and its a hell of a lot catchier.
I blame Sexyback for the atrociousness that is BOOM BOOM POW.

Promiscuous is Nelly hopping on the urban train three years late LOL, she's been experimenting with hip hop/urban sounds since her debut. Get yo facts straight and SIT THE F UCK DOWN!

I know all about that and I've heard it all before. That is the biggest excuse Nelly fans use when they try to defend her change But we both know that style that she experimented with on the side is completely different from the mainstream urban sounds she chased with Promiscuous. In any case, Promiscuous wasn't influential

In any case, Promiscuous wasn't influential Ohhh, you obviously haven`t listened to her debut and she`s already worked with Timbo back in the day. 2002: He also did a URBAN remix for Turn of the light back in 2001.

No, like I said I know all about that. But you know that stuff was still on the side. Where her own material was concerned, she was still seen as a folk rock artist. She wasn't releasing songs like Promiscuous as her own singles back then. Then that would be a different story! lol

Anyways, she still did work with him LONG before Loose, so if you wanna say "it doesn't count becasue it wasn't on her own record BLAH BLAH BLAH..." fine do it, it still doesn't change the fact. Ohhh wait...

Yeah, you know people grouped Nelly into the folk rock/pop rock/VH1 rock category along with people like Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carleton. That's why everyone was so shocked and thought she sold out with Promiscuous Again, like I said I know all about this So you're not posting anything I never saw or heard before lol. I'm just saying this all deviates from the original point of me saying that SexyBack was pretty influential in terms of bringing more electronic sounds to the mainstream of R&B and pop music. And that Promiscuous wouldn't' fit that category because the urban sounds it was promoting had already become popular three years before.

Nelly never sold out, people who think that are stupid.
I don't see how SB is influential but whatever, the point i was trying to make originally was Promiscuous was the 1st song that brought Timbo back into mainstream. To me it sounds like you're saying that "P" was unoriginal and had been done before, when in fact it wasn't.
