The History Of Pop Part 43 aka Come Around We'll Kick Your Ass In

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It was a close thing in the end, but MR OIZO ended up a winner in the Now 42 poll, by one vote over Cher and Dusty Springfield. Hooray for squelchy bass puppet rock!

Now 43 has some absolute monsters on, as we enter the sunny uplands of 1999, and a nation waits trembling and expectant for Westlife's millennium record. While they waited, they listened to some amazing pop music (and a number of stinkers).

I FOUGHT THE TICKY BARON OF DINOSAUR CITY!

I like it but can see why some might hate it.

Had it started a trend that would have been insufferable. As I'm sure the follow-up album is.

i.e. it worked/works okay as a one-off bit of quirkiness in t'chart/ on this NOW!
