The History Of Pop Part 29 aka When we get home we're gonna get fried

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Now 29, the summer of 1994, and The Big One as far as some Poptimists regulars are concerned - some legendary pop tunes, some legendary horrors, the first (and maybe ONLY) appearance of JUNGLE on a Now, the first (and far from only) appearance of WASIS, Kylie at the height of her Select-induced critical acclaim, boyband minnows Ultimate Kaos and 2wo 3hirds, the mighty Whigfield, AND MORE! What can possibly win???

Meanwhile when the dust settled on Now 28 none other than BLUR had won it, by one vote over Salt N Pepa and En Vogue, with Prodigy in third. What does this BODE as the Britpop years get rolling? Much diversity in the Damon Allbran career highpoints - watch for a Friday Canon on this very topic soon.


[Poll #685616]


If I can be bother'd I will do some stats later.

I think the poll readership are more likely to have heard the Sparks, because Sparks are a fashionable and oft-mentioned reference point, and 2wo 3hirds...aren't.

Both are excellent songs, on a similar theme too.

'I Want The World' is one of those songs which, when you find it again, isn't quite as good as you remember it being - a common problem for Two Thirds, and only really escaped on the excellent 'I Want To Be Alone'.
