The History Of Pop Part 31 aka A man that's on the run is a dirty son of a gun

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 31 takes us to the (current) halfway point! in the Now polls, and finds Britpop in 'full swing', backed up with a host of fondly and less fondly remembered tracks. DJ Daz should take note of Love City Groove, unfortunate pioneers in the 'put some rap in Eurovision' category. Reeves and Mortimer cover the Monkees, Duran Duran cover the Furious Five, Shaggy tackles Mungo Jerry, Baby D take on the Korgis and Ladysmith Black Mambazo surely fulfil a lifetime ambition by getting to work with China Black.

You'll also get to vote in the Now 30 face-off - Portishead and Massive Attack share the spoils with East 17's "Stay Another Day" a mere two votes behind. Bucketheads in 4th, Boos in 5th, much hatred for the Gallaghers and Mr J Nail, and some bafflement as to what 'handbag house' actually is, that said if you were to make a compilation of the suggestions it would be TOTALLY GREBT as I will prove soon.

The choice between Shampoo and Kylie turned out to be no choice at all - "Trouble" by a mile. I'm expecting a clear winner in this poll, though.

i love 'i need your loving' but it is very much the 'got to get it' to the 'mr vain' of 'let me be your fantasy' which inexplicably seems to have been erased from now history!

what needs more love as well is 'right in the night'. it's based on bach for chrissake!

DEATH TO FALSE RAVE part 5323

As Baby D here were just stealing the thunder of the orig. ardkore track that sampled The Korgis, credited to NRG.

Standby for Ultramix 92 if you want to here that (amongst a billion other tracks from that year)

Oh, I know. But I love it nonetheless.

It=candy-pop d 'n b=seems like such an obvious pop thing that no-one ever really followed up on.

Aside from a hundred thousand really annoying 'tasteful' bits of music for adverts (ho ho).

Also, as per alex above, am nominating it in face of inexplicable non-appearance of 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy'. What's up with that?
