The History Of Pop Part 57 aka I could teach you, but I'd have to charge

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The titanic clash that was the Now 56 poll is NOT OVER YET, with Beyonce and Rachel Stevens slugging it out in a tie breaker. Meanwhile Now 57 also has its share of modern giants, as well as debut appearances by Keane, Snow Patrol, Joss Stone and the RETURN OF INDIE (ok ok it never left).

Click below the cut if you want a chance at sorting it all out.

Absolutely. I thought it was going to be good, but there are some real monsters on here: Toxic vs Thank You vs Jump vs Comfortably Numb vs Leave Right Now vs I Miss You vs Take Me Out vs She Wants To Move (which I suspect some people have probably forgotten as it seems too normal a title - the real name of the song should be written in Atlantean or something)

I haven't forgotten it, I remember it as "the moment just before the Neptunes went bad" - okay, so they still produced good things after this, but that album is an abomination!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I would replace "just before" with "when".

[zenith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much.

It's the kind of song that if it were the weakest song on a good album you could forgive, but noooooo...

i love 'She Wants To Move'. probably my favourite N.E.R.D. song in fact. the first album is kinda over-rated as well.

No I think this is exactly when the Neptunes jumped the shark, I think it's a pretty bad song. Though they would go on to do 'Hollaback Girl'...

You say that as if it were a good thing.

love the original 'She Wants To Move' but the electrohouse/pop remix/mash-up by Soundhog is better.
