The History Of Pop Part 37 aka The Panic The Vomit

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This seemed to take forever to type out - it marks probably some kind of personal nadir in terms of my enjoyment of pop, or at least the degree of attention I was paying it. But of course for some of you this may be an Elysian pop idyll, so it's over to you in the comments and I'll stop my grumbling.

White Town's "Your Woman" scored a pretty convincing win in the Now 36 poll, beating the Chemicals and Prodigy by around 6 votes. Well done Jyoti M.

And onwards into the vale of tears that was mid-1997...

Which goes to show that Julie B and I are QUITE RIGHT about that man.

Not the No Mercy, the Peter Sarstedt.

I can really imagining the '68-era Peelie getting ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED by "Where Do You Go To My Lovely".

I am now wondering if it wasn't David Gedge's least favourite, though.

Same difference really.
