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...

Getting here late as usual:

Both Mmmbop! and Who Do You Think You Are are classic, classic, classic, and WFYTYA is the best Spice Girls song by a mile. It also gets a tick because they could have put Mama on there, for which we are all eternally grateful. I have also ticked Paranoid Android by the Radioheads. I think it still actually be my favourite on here.

That Shola Ama record is horrendous. I find it impossible to listen to without imagining Jools Holland sitting there rubbing his legs. Ugh.

I've just remembered how the Todd Terry one goes. That's great too.

They put 'Mama' on the last one.

Liking any given Radiohead song more than any given Shola Ama song is completely beyond my ken. His voice! Versus her voice! That should seal it right there!
