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!!

How can you dislike 'Bootylicious' and 'One Night Stand'?????!!!!!!!!!!

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

I don't like the stuttering riff thing on Booylicious and it is tremendously overplayed, and doesnt have half the heart, wit, verve, glee or danceability of the Daft Punk.

Misteeq: I have only heard 'Scandalous', sorry.

Welcome to Planet Nonsense. THEY ARE ROBOTS THEY HAVE NO HEART OR WIT OR GLEE.

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

Whereas Bootylicious = all wit, all verve, all glee, all danceability, ALL THE TIME.

"Digital Love" has made me cry sometimes! I think they have heart aplenty.

Robots make me laugh and fill me with glee?

the GOOD thing about DC is that they are capitalist bootyrobots w/o human emotions!

and the GOOD thing about DP is that they are RETROHIPPY robots WITH human emOtions

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

haven't you heard? they're human after all

'Robot Rock' is their worst single by miles tho

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Oh come on DC outdo DP in every one of those departments except heart! And no one wants heart from DC.

Also go and buy Lickin' On Both Sides by Mis-Teeq! Best 2-step album ever and perfect for the impending summer.

(The Daft Punk isn't actually that danceable)

"Bootylicious" is my favourite Destiny's Child thing I think.

DC10

Shurely No No No should be in there? Much better than Nasty Girl, or Say my name.

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

While I think it may be my LEAST favorite.

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[mostlyconnect.livejournal.com]

I find Bootylicious unlistenably abrasive :(

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I guessed you would!

I played Javine at Lovelife last night!

I am the Lex of soft edges.

Javine!!

Re: BEFORE ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I think "The Lex Of Soft Edges" would make a beautiful...novel title? microhouse track title? username?

Javine!!!
