The History of Pop Part 33 aka Got the cash, feeling flash in Leicester Square

Back. Back! BACK!!! It's the Now poll, this time muscled into 1996 by an Oasis track on each arm. Now 32 was a second win for Pulp, closer this time though with Coolio and Shaggy trailing. Can Pulp make it 3 in a row? On paper this looks like a weak opposition but who knows which way the whim of Poptimists will wend?

OK some positivity: St Etienne, Luniz, Gabrielle, Lush and Dubstar are all terrific!

'ladykillers' is the ONLY time i came close to 'getting' britpop - ie the culture, the scene, the hanging out in camden (obv from a distance, at the time i'd never been to camden OH HAPPY TIMES) - as opposed to just a couple of songs here and there. i have the album; all the singles = ace, still; all the album tracks = extremely rub.

'Single Girl' is far better!

'shake baby shake' is super-fun as well!

St Ettienne, Gabrielle, Lush and Dubstar are for mums.

Luniz were good though!
