The History Of Pop Part 50 aka Last night, I had a dream about you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OMG in Now 49 we had...a DRAW! And a draw of two songs with great big ticky ratings at that! And poor old "Survivor" one point behind, with a score that would have walked 9 out of the last 10 polls. I feel as overexcited as Davina pretending a phone vote is close! Make yr choice between S Club and Outkast after you've voted in THIS Now poll, which kicks off with perhaps the iconic modern pop song and has a host of other 'talking points' - I expect plenty of Lexular squealing and much HEATED debate. Debut tracks from Sophie E-B, Five (late in the game!), Alihen Ant Farm, So Solid and a couple of French robots you may be familiar with...

EDIT: And how could I forget THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER MADE?


[Poll #742292]


LET'S GO!!

I like the other two, but it's Discovery which makes me think HEARTS when I hear the name "Daft Punk"

Talking point: I read a James Murphy/Lcd Soundsystem interview where he bemoaned the post-Homework stuff because they stopped working on 'tracks' and started trying to make albums. Construe 'tracks' as 'singles' (bit of stretch, I think, because he meant stuff that is good in clubs rather than stuff that sounds good on radio/goes up the charts...but...what do you think?

yeh a lot of 'purists' thought that about Daft Punk. but i'm happy enough with both their earlier club track stuff and the later pop anthems.
