The History of Pop part 28 aka A Body Like Arnold with a Denzel face

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A slip of the fingers means this poll was briefly published CONTEXT-FREE but here we go, it's 1994, Wet Wet Wet spend 15 cruel weeks at the top of the charts and the first stirrings of Britpop turn up on Now, playing second fiddle to Stiltskin.

Fans of the Mad Stuntman will be gutted by his one-vote loss to Ace Of Base's "The Sign" - both acts return on this compilation. The general consensus on the Smashing Pumpkins is "not very good at all", with a small but vocal minority arguing for "good, actually".

And that's about all I can say - over to you!

I get the feeling I may be alone in voting for Stiltskin. They were Avwil/Kelly Clarkson seven/ten years before she was!

Heh I voted for them too! :)

I very nearly ticked them because I quite liked 'Inside' at the time, but...no...

actually IIRC the lead singer looked a bit like OUR EWING!

for a second i thought i'd bought inside, but i think now it was an almost identical single (in my head at the mo) by 'Cracker'.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

ooh was it 'Low'? I remember liking that too, for some bizarre reason.

CONFESSION OF SHAME: I have 2 Cracker albums and listened to them both just the other day!
