The History Of Pop Part 47 aka We were makin love by Wednesday

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oops - She did it again - WON A NOW POLL that is. Britney topped Now 46, and deletion was averted by a respectable showing for Aaliyah after much lobbying. Less controversy on Now 47 I'm guessing, featuring comebacks for U2, Spices and All Saints, and debuts for David Gray, Nelly and leather-lunged Anastacia.


[Poll #736520]


All this and DANE BOWERS too!

I thought at the time they were much of a muchness, and think the same now really. Both solid tickies but nothing exceptional.

2 Step in general was an enormous "victory for pop" - it was the only time since 90-91 that the "hardcore continuum" actually hit the charts and the mainstream.

I sometimes think that the fact that 2-step started out as a mainstream phenomenon pretty much concurrently with its underground phase has been the commercial death knell of everything related to UK garage since.

'Out Of Your Mind' is exceptional I think - the vocal tics and tricks are incredible and make me squeal with delight.

hardcore continuum literally in that one of Truesteppers was Jonny L - the only ardkore guy to cross into 2step domain i think (others crossed into breaks, big beat etc.)

Does Jonny L actually deserve the "In the second if not first wave of everything good for 15 years" respect I've heard bandied about?
