The Wednesday Canon: DANCE DOUBLE HEADER!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A special double edition of the Wednesday Canon spotlighting those two titans of what top dance journo Ronan calls "album dance" - Basement Jaxx, and the Chemical Bros. Both blokey duos, both shifting plenty of units to the non clubbing inclined, both with a penchant for using guest vocalists from the worlds of pop, rap and Nindie. Let us see which of their hits rate, and which are RANK. You get FIVE per artist.

It transpires that I really don't like the Chem Bros all that much! I hate at least three of their BIG singles, in fact I only have real affection for two of them. I have one of their albums and I never listen to it.

On the other hand, Basement Jaxx, HEARTS. They seem oddly oncongruous to where dance has now gone!

I suspect I am alone among Poptimists in rating Rooty the worst Jaxx album (though still ace obv).

the Jaxx albums are all so great that ranking them in order to determine which is best or worse is futility defined, tho i suppose i pick Remedy as best on a technicality because it was the fresh debut.
