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!


[Poll #683198]

Voting explanation: I've voted for not only stuff I like now, but stuff I BOUGHT on CASSINGLE at the time (China Black, The Grid, M People, Stiltskin) and CURSED myself when I realised they wz on this Now. I remember being ANGRY at my Dad for wanting to hear the BBC GLR traffic report in the car which interrupted Radio1 chart countdown ft Dawn Penn (ACE, and Real Name: Dawn Pickering). Said single Broke Records (probably) by only being released on the THURSDAY and managing to get to no 3 in the charts by SUNDAY. Well done Dawn!
