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.

Funnily enough, we had this album on in the kitchen the other day and I commented on how very toss much of it was/is.

Sorted... is a pretty limp song with a surprisingly boring lyric for Cocker singing about getting on one matey. It's one of the few songs I skip on Diff. Class. Still head and shoulders above most of this toss.

Meatloaf stays true to his core values without raising the game at all. Queen phone in a well below par last gasp. Britpop starts to turn rancid in the heat of exposure...

For my sins I was a big Cast fan. Alright is their one song I can still stand to hear. It's...alright. In a Gerry and the Pacemakers sort of way.

Renegade master surprisingly leaden in it's original form, but still a stand-out among such chequered company...
