[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OK, let's see if I can actually post this and not fvck it up.

IN BRIEF:

Now 32! Britpop in charge! Dance goes superclub! Goldie! Weller! Ricardo Da Force!

Now 31! Pulp walk it! Most votes ever! Commiserations to Ini Kamoze! Weezer liked by US posters, not by UK!

Now 30! Portishead on the hall of fame! Well done plucky Beth!


[Poll #694466]


TICKY BOXY!

EDIT: God knows why I've put Now 36 in the poll, this is Now 32 obv.

Haha this is a pretty dreadful Now. I don't even remember if I bought it, if I did it was probably out of brand loyalty alone. Pulp are going to walk it again, and again I have contributed to that :(

'Lucky' is my favourite Radiohead song! Still doesn't merit a tick though.

I kind of feel Pulp deserve the walkover less this time - there's some fantastic handbag here, and Shaggy and Coolio both ought to run them close, too. "Sorted" is great, though.

'Sorted' is great yes, my favourite Pulp apart from 'Disco 2000'. I like Coolio but have never really felt Shaggy; if a challenger is to show up I feel it should come from the Wink/Wildchild/Goldie triptych. Or Berri, actually, that was ACE.

The first half is awful, isn't it?

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apart from Pulp and Radiohead, there's bvgger all that's any good till we get to Coolio.

I think 'Goldeneye' is good!
