The History Of Pop Part 35 aka The mac's back with the flava of the year

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 35, and we're still deep in the heart of 1996, a year I didn't much enjoy on any level, and this compilation isn't exactly beckoning me back to it. The Spice Girls ended up equal second on Now 34, tying with Underworld and two votes behind shoXoR winner Gina G: they get another go this time, as do all-conquering Pulp (with an BALLAD). Beyond that....well, I'll save my fingers for the comments boxes.

It's about DANCING and DRUGS and TEH SEX and MORE DRUGS. Suede are totally your band Lex!

Why even bother singing about all of that if you're going to set your lyrics to sodding BRITPOP STODGY GUITARS?????

They're not even stodgy guitars, they're all spindly and tinny and horrid on this. And that man's VOICE. Argghghgh.

As you might have guessed by now, I hate Suede almost as much as the Beautiful c0cking South.

It's quite funny but they were sounding so tinny at this point that I couldn't in honesty tick it.

When the song leaked I remember a colleague walking into the shop I worked in and saying very solemnly, "Well, Suede have written their masterpiece. They'll be living off this song for the next forty years."
