Jop Tournament Round 1.3

These are the other polls that should have gone up yesterday - today's fites will be up this afternoon (at about 3, if you're desperate!)

I won't finalise the results until this round is over, but it looks like both Madonna songs, "1999", "Temptation" and the Missy record are all through.

Jop Tournament Round 1.4

Another batch of polls - the last two Prince tracks (well, the last two Prince tracks performed by him) and several Now poll heavyweights getting another title shot.

Coming tomorrow - FOUR 00s seeds up against Salt N Pepa, Xtina, the KLF and Cameo.

Public Carmodism

Discussion on the tournament thread about GHOST TOWNE by the Specials - is this the biggest example of Carmodism being generally accepted and written into the executive summary of rock history?

(Definition of Carmodism for the 99% of you who won't know what I'm on about: the belief that the state of the charts reflects the state of the nation, or at least the belief that it makes for more interesting analysis to pretend it does. From Robin Carmody, cultural critic and high practitioner of the art.)

The Sound of 2007!
