poptimistsPopfrenzy '98 continues in Now 40 with Billie, Fatboy Slim and DJ DAZ!!!! making their first appearances on a Now (the latter in the guise of BUS STOP). The Spice Girls slide towards their end but the pop world they left behind is thriving.
Now 39 was closely fought but "Never Ever" pulled ahead to win it - double All Saints for your consideration this time - with Pulp, Cornershop and the Spice Girls close behind among a number of high-scoring contenders.
[Poll #717928]
IT'S TICKY!

Perpetual Motion!
Barbara Tucker!
Adam Garcia! (tho I can guess what the song is)
Kerri-Ann!
LOS UMBRELLOS??????? They sound great tho.
(I would also like to make it very clear that I am not ticking "Under The Bridge" because the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are irredeemable, NOT because their version is inviolate. That shouldn't need saying in this company I hope! (But say it I must))

Date: 2006-04-27 12:42 pm (UTC)I talked about it (http://alexmacpherson.livejournal.com/112989.html) earlier this week and even put a WMA of it up so there are no excuses for not ticking it! I do not want it to be a forgotten classic!
Basically if you have any affection for Trapped In The Closet and do not tick 'Be Careful' you are lying to yourself.
She's the aunt of the girl in the R Kelly sex tape innit.

Talking Points
Date: 2006-04-27 12:47 pm (UTC)Three Liongs 98 is a worse record than Three Liongs 96 but I like the idea of a record continually being updated topically.
Steps begin to come into their own here.
3 votes ALREADY for Eagle Eye Cherry - the mind boggles!
What is Don Henley doing here?

Best video = Aqua captured by savages and being cooked up in a big cauldron!
Gobmug = crush-velvet jacket but has some top dance moves in her little Coronation St backdrop innit...

Date: 2006-04-27 01:00 pm (UTC)I'm kind of torn between Massive Attack (sorry) or Billie here but I think it's be dishonest because the record I got (by miles) the most pleasure out of at the time was Teh Rockerfeller Skank.
Bonus points for Three Lions 98 for the irony in the Gazza line.
Re: Talking Points
Date: 2006-04-27 01:02 pm (UTC)There's no need to apologise for Massive Attack, I ticked it too, it's a great record in its way, it's just...not aged as well as Billie! (And nor has 3-D, arf arf)
