SHEEE-YEENE POLL #1 aka will there be another breakdown?

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

The Now polls are all good and proper, aren't they? But surely, around the time of Now 29, Now 30, a new breed of compilation entered the arena. Taking as it's theme the indie big hitters from the Now Polls, the mighty SHINE series catered to a growing crowd of kids who were reading about a new thing called "britpop" in Smash Hits. If you ask me, SH! always seemed rather obsessed with Damon All-Bran's TIBETAN LOVE BEAD necklace. Ew.

Inspirals:

"I'm flying so HIGH
Like a bird in the SKY
But you're draggin me DOWN"

(cue organ)

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

The Green Day one is great!

Actually, that first CD isn't bad at all, and Cigs and Alcohol is the best Wasis song.

Do you remember the wurst time?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This compilation isn't so bad, probably because it had 4 years of nindie to pick from and not 4 months. Even so no excuse for Shed Seveng and DODGY.

LOOK THEY SWITCHED THE WORD AMYL FOR THE WORD ANIMAL!!!!!

Gasoline, drum machine, nuclear skies, eat some pies

Jesus H Christ, what a sorry excuse for a band Suede were.

Re: Do you remember the wurst time?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I NEVER REALISED THAT!

('animal nitrate' is the only suede song i would tick, in a 7/10 sort of way)

Things I remember about the Shine series:

1. All the traXor were EITHER already owned by me OR were rub, so I never bought one.
2. The first one came out aaaaages before the others, and was one of a host of similar stuff from now + nindie classix ov the past comps at the time. I was most surprised when the second one came out 2 years(?) later.

Things I don't remember:

1. Were Shine 2 to Shine N strictly happening sounds of now (as was) or did they too include some old school material to bolster the paltry modern offerings?

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

Shee-ine 4 is the first one I own, and that is strictly in the here and now (or the there and then... you know what I mean). What other reason could there be for the Smokin' Mojo Filters ?

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

Shine 7 was pretty contemporary, but also very good. The first Shine album way my introduction to indie, fact fans.

[graciousviv.livejournal.com]

I concur, although I get mixed up with this series and 'best album in world evar' which I think was going the same time. Anyway they were not as now as 'Now'compilations.

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Shine 2 and 3 had the odd Happy Mondays track but were mostly new, from 4 onwards they ran UP TO DATE with the hip young kids nindie. AS YOU SHALL SEE!

I declare this to be

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

My old Dad's finest hour. Except for mebbe the intro to 'Gravy Train' (= a string of gravy boats)

Re: I declare this to be

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

I hope you have edited your old Dad's wikipedia entry to reflect this.

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Hold your hosses m8, Bis have to wait til Shine 7 (aahahah which also features SUSSED)!!!

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Those people who have ticked the Cranberries, have you made a catsgomiaow-style ACCIDENT? Because you surely didn't mean to tick the MOST VILE SONG EVER, did you?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I always think that original Zombie is better than it is, because the ADAM and Amy bosh version was SO AMAZING. But of course it isn't.

Would these same people tick "I Just Shot John Lennon"?

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

I think I may have ticked fewer on this than any of the Nows, though they do have 50% more tracks.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i ticked two only! a legal principle is at stake!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

GO ELASTIXX0R!!!!

ONE ONE ONE!!!!!

I'VE BEEN IN THE PUB FOR 2 HRS WITH 0 LUNCH!!!!!

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I fear y'will EXPLODE by the time it's BANG O'CLOCK!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Aren't Jarvis and his Pulps just going to win all of these? I guess the litmus test will be if something sh1te like "Help The Aged" can win (against the might of BENNET)

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Pulp will appear ELEVEN TIMES in the Shine polls, fact fans.

"Little Soul" is on Shine 10 - anyone? Anyone?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Doh! I accidentally hit submit before I could fill out the poll questions.

I am surprised at the lack of love for "Regret" -- the more time passes, the more I am convinced it is one New Order's finest moments.

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

This opens up frightening new possibilities, you understand?
