poptimists1993 and yes it's the SUMMER OF RAGGA, all 3 hits of it. During the early 90s every summer was going to be the Summer Of Ragga but this one actually WAS, sort of. What happened to them all? Snow turned into an N@zi! Shaggy hooked up with Rayvon! Shabba said bad things and was DISSED on The Word by a rockabilly revivalist! And meanwhile the rest of the charts were turned over to proving the proposition that anybody can rap - Brian Harvey, the crusty bloke from Stereo MCs, him out of Capella, you name it they tried it.
The dog that isn't really barking in these polls is Grunge, which was a presence in the charts but whose practitioners didn't seem to want it on Now comps (or the compilers considered it too horse-scaring).
Meanwhile on Now 23 East 17's "House Of Love" topped the poll by one vote, ahead of ABBA, with Eezer Goode in third.
[Poll #673545]

"Is It Like Today?" No it is like YESTERDAY arf arf. Guy Chambers had the last laugh tho.

Date: 2006-02-15 01:50 pm (UTC)This Now is so quality that even though the last bit is full of the usual horrors, it's basically all the usual horrors being not quite as horrific as usual - eg 'lady godiva's room' is rub obv but not quite as vomitous as all other simply ging songs.
i am shocked that dom appears not to like kd lang!
Rest upon my chest
Date: 2006-02-15 01:54 pm (UTC)2) CD1 = best cd out of all Nows so far.
3) I used to have the Sunscreem song on Energy Rush Presents Dance Hits '93 but I lost the tape somewhere in the Canadian Rockies. It had Sub Sub on it as well. I mourned that tape much longer than I mourned

Date: 2006-02-15 02:03 pm (UTC)Blimey.
Date: 2006-02-15 02:03 pm (UTC)Does it mean right away that I'm wrong
All in due time, well my time is right now
So don't ask me who, where, what when or how
I know I got me and a good partner beside me
One that will never try to desert of defy me
So who are you to tell me how to run my family
I can plan it by myself, I need nobody planning me
'Cause yeah I might be young, but my stability's correct
Everything about my little one I must protect
What she sees, what she hears, and everything surrounding
A decent state of mind is what my daughter will be found in
Born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
Young mother be thankful, be strong
The fact that you're young, it ain't wrong
A mother I will try to be
Tha fact is, I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
So tell me what do the kids learn at school
How to pack a pistol, how to play a class fool
Then they blame the parents when the kid plays hooky
Subject to getting shot is something that I wouldn't wanna be
Maybe it is safer to stay within your home
Protecting yourself from getting a bullet within your dome
It's something to think about, the word safe
I often wonder if there exists such a place
Whether on a bus, a train, or plain walkin'
You're subject to the devious ones that might be hawkin'
I'll teach my child to respect every day as a blessing
And follow the path of her future lesson by lesson
Born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
Young mother be thankful, be strong
The fact that you're young, it ain't wrong
A mother I will try to be
Tha fact is, I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
So ask me again if I need ghetto assistance
There's food on my table and my baby's not wearing p1ss poss
I could teach my child more at home that you could ever
Corrupt the youthful mind I produce, that will be never
This one will learn from me, the other babies too
'Cause what you teach is censorship, I wanna teach what's true
So bother me not with our by the book method
If I was already deaf I would be getting deafer
I know exactly what I'm doing, in it I believe
My life is in my offspring 'Cause I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
Born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
Young mother be thankful, be strong
The fact that you're young, it ain't wrong
A mother I will try to be
Tha fact is, I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
