The History Of Pop Part 30 aka In this new frame of mind a thousand flowers could bloom

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 30, like 1995, starts slow but then explodes into full-on dance mania as high street clubbing meets pop and a flood of great, blink-and-you-miss-them hits follow. Handbagmania! In amongst the dance tunes we have dadpop, Britpop, a bit of r'n'b and a sprinkling of trip-hop. It's a big poll with some big questions: have at it.

One of the big questions is - what's going to win Now 29? Kylie and Shampoo were tied on 34 votes each, just ahead of Whigfield and Corona, so there's a straight choice to be made here. Meanwhile Oasis highpoints clustered around Cigs and Boose, Live Forever and Supersonic: Wasis make the first of several reapparances on today's poll.

1995 - what were are we thinking?

deuce = kinda precursors of steps, completely ridiculously camp pop fluff, two boys and two girls, i can remember the tune but not the lyrics. i think they dressed up. pretty good!

mc sar = very odd lyrics, "run awaaaay! run awaaaay! run awaaaay and save your life!" music is the same as 'another night', basically

Deuce were all over Smash Hits for about half a year, as I remember. WThough I'm sure I'd stopped buying SH by '95!
