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.

See also: Whigfield and Alex Party! I'd like to hear those. Actually, the Berri song might be the best...

How I hated Fairground at the time, even though it was filmed on the PEPSI MAX BIG ONE. Now I think it is GRATE!!

This looks pretty poor compared to the last couple. I own at most two of these, I think: Goldie (the 20 min. version) and EBTG. I may have Coolie on tape somewhere.

Yeah, the Berri song is sounding v.good in my head. But then again, E+W is prolly my third favourite Pulp song.

We have this in the kitchen at the moment.

The Human Legg mix is AMAZING. Cannot stress this enough. AMAZING. Still not as good as Boombastic though.

The only good bit is the Goodmen sample! I was LIVID when I heard this song for the first time and thort "surely people haven't forgot the Goodmen already, that was only SIX Now's ago!"

Berri = best three line chorus evar.

Pulp can win any poll though, think of poor Berri's little face. In my head she looks like a redder headed Betty Boo. I wonder if that is rly the case.

Berri > Whiggers > Alex Party

The Josh Wink mix on here is KRUB.

The first half is awful, isn't it?

'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.

It doesn't sound like Laika! Laika are really amazing! And not indie!

it's not a bad remix really - workmanlike perhaps with Rollo & Bliss on auto-pilot at that time but obv. nothing can ever top the original anyway

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

This wins my vote for Worst Now Compilation Ever. Picking one worst track would have been difficult were it not for the fact that my dislike of Simply Red's 'Fairground' is matched only by my dislike of the Lighthouse Family and M People. But so many terrible songs... Queen, Meat Loaf, Louise, Suggs, Everything But The Girl, Eternal. God almighty!

I have either claimed this or so internalised that particular piece of criticism that I believe I claimed it first!

I think this is where I point that they too were on TOO PURE!
