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 cannot describe how much I love Time To Burn. It's one of the most brutal techno-pop-filled pieces of music I own. Most boshing thing to appear on a Now so far!

Zombie Nation by Kernkraft 400, nicht so?

I thought Darude would get the love in this vein last time round but it got overlooked!

That plus Storm plus Zombie Nation = holy trinity of hard house

This is the first Gabrielle single I have not ticked (only cos I probably never heard it). Let's see whether dubdobdee's loyalty to the eye-patched one continues!

Good. It's much better than the original. Less ar5ing about.

at the time it was a 'victory for pop'...

...but six years on surely we all agree that Victoria wuz robbed of that No 1? 'Groovejet' is great but 'Out Of Your Mind' is insane and bonkers and something approaching masterpiece quality.

Victoria getting her No 1 out of the way so early on could have CHANGED HER LIFE!

Was anyone else confused at the time betwixt Nelly the rapper and Nelly the Furtado?

it's good actually - nice euphoric chorus, somewhere between SAW and the mid 90s Danny Tenaglia-type remixes

It's quite lightweight and not particularly anything special - kind of disco-ey, candyfloss vocal, not much of a tune, but quite nice all the same. Prototype for 'Love At First Sight' and 'Come Into My World' but with less oomph.

Blimey, Azzido Da Bass are still going! They released a whole load of new stuff in February! And did a really good remix of that Olav Basaski ft Michie One track!

Thing is, Dooms Night was never as good as Flat Eric, was it?

Clearly Stevem has not heard the many marvellous bootleg versions of DJ Pied Piper songs.

Storm were aka Jam & Spoon. Spoon died in January sadly. I'm not sure what Jam is upto now.

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.

All those nu-Kylie singles blend into one massive beige whole for me. Nothing much to like or dislike. More worryingly, I don't remember 'Holler'.

Is that Billie song a Dire Straits cover ? I don't remember her doing that at all, perhaps this is most worrying.

REALLY?!

Azzido Da Bass was just Timo Maas under another name wasn't it?

the same Maas who recently did a track with Brian Molko, BLEH (and another one with Kelis i think)
