Ride A White Poll

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

January's Top 40 Singles poll saw apparently everyone's favourite indie-pop stalwarts Belle & Sebastian clinch the top spot with 17 ticks and 54.8% of the vote, with Jose Gonzales, Mylo ft. Freeform Five and Will Young all languishing in joint second place with 13 ticks each. A traditionally weak month there, but things are starting to hot up a little in February, maybe?

Another largely rubbish crop then.

Quite a few aren't actually that bad (A-Ha, Young Jeezy, uh, Mogwai) but don't seem quite good enough to deserve ticks. I used to have so much mercy...

I just can't get Youtube to work AT work so still haven't heard many of these - will go back and tick any I end up hearing and liking though.

Things get better in March!

The question posed was such that I had to take it literally. Ergo, an abysmal month.

Why are people tickying Goldfrapp? A particularly borin' song even by their standards. Nice video though.

Was Liz 'Nose job' McClarnon known for something else before this record?

It might be interesting to do a poll on Top 40 singles from the February of other years and see how they fare now. But really it may just come down to the year never really getting going until March.

The 'Ride On A White Horse' remixes are really good though.

I shall debate with myself whether this means I should tick it in the meeting I have to scoot off to :(

Conversely I think it's a decent Goldfrapp number but the video is rubbish.

Liz McClarnon was known for something else but no-one knows what. Aha.

The best pop group of each generation is the one that offends the members of two generations back most.

It's that kind of systems thinking that has ferried this country to hell in a handcart.

Is Analogue one of the Max Martin tracks?

How long is a 'generation' here?

I can remember this song and it is catchy but not my 'thing'.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I feel kind of the same way about the Go Team, one of their most boring tracks, except I *do* have it on my hard drive so I had to tick it really.

ten years per generation actually seems fair enough given the gulfs evident.

Aiy!

Where is the love for Chris Brown & Juelz?

A positively Merrittian attitude.

Simpson Junior = clearly the best in show

it's about LINDSAY LOHAN, how could it fail to be anything other than AMAZING*?

* n.b. still not as good as "La La"

Re: Aiy!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

People who don't like 'Run It' hate either a) pop or b) black people.

Re: GO ASHLEE

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

ooh I haven't heard it (I ticked it out of loyalty to Ashlee's nose job or something); must get round to this.

Hilarity > Lindsay > Ashlee

('The Math' > 'Rumours' > 'La La')

Who are they offending though? Being crap != being offensive.

Re: I'm just the nuts in your bed pong but you're just lying in salt

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

well we slag them off ergo they offend us, i suppose. but they don't offend me as much as other bands.
