The History Of Pop Part 48 aka Pure and simple, I'll be there for you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

2001: A Pop Odyssey! As the Now series gets ever closer to today, a significant first - the first (modern) reality TV pop hit in the form of "Pure And Simple". Also debuting: Gorillaz, Bob The Builder, unlikely Poptimist icons Feeder, and nu-metal in the apologetic shape of Papa Roach.

All Saints' "Pure Shores" won Now 47 - hatas can reflect that it got one of the lowest winning %ages ever, with only 2/3 approval. Modjo second, Nelly third, and EVERYTHING got at least one vote - will we be able to say the same after this poll?


[Poll #738675]


TICKY TO RIDE.

I think I was the only person not to hear this song in 2001 (being at collej and hence not near an radio or telly or cheesy nightclub and surrounded by Indie on all sides). I first heard it some time last year and it is AMAZING. Shaggy had been quiet for some years but HE BE BACK WIT A BANG!

& the travesty of "Deja Vu" not being released even as an album track!

As a fan og gangsta rap in the early 90s, i objected to Shaggy and RikRok's gloating and celebration of not just infidelity but also GETTING AWAY WITH IT IN THE DUMBEST WAY POSSIBLE.

This is why our society is crumbling.
