Pop Premiership RESULTS Week 3

Here's what bengraham had to say - check back after lunch for REVELATIONS (both on this and the Chart Championship).

"General Comments: Firstly, thankyou everyone. I ended up with an excellent CD, good enough that I will most likely listen to it in my car from time to time. The variety was pretty amazing. There were two or three tracks that I absolutely loved, another two or three that I'd listen to in specific situations, and nothing at all that I really hated. There was just the one track I knew, although one or two more sounded very familiar. My only disappointment was that there was nothing really really heavy, to provide the full range of the musical spectrum! But yes, awesome choices everyone, and I'm really pleased with my CD!

Chart Championship Week 3 RESULTS

Revelations at the same time as the Pop Prem - I have realised that my spreadsheet is at work (where I am not) and so I can't update the actual scores in the league until Monday.

Here are jeff_worrell's comments:

"General remarks: first, well done to all players for finding 11 things I have never heard before. Moreover, there are 8 or 9 tracks here that deserve a WIN – deciding on the 4th to 8th rankings was bloody hard. There is nothing here that completely knocked me out in a "must get everything they have ever recorded" sense, but a lot of B, B+ material. Most players appear to have picked up on the words "girl-pop" and "electronic" in my bio and gone with one the other (or both); a few others sparked on the "breaks" reference. Sadly, no prog or Radio So-Cal FM.

The Friday Canon: THE ROLLING STONES

They're still not dead yet! Mick & Keef and the boys are still very much alive and kicking, despite the best efforts of various illicit pharmaceuticals, Mars Bars, Winnie The Pooh statues, Hells Angels, falling coconuts etc. Out of their 43 UK Top 40 hits, you get to pick your favourite FOURTEEN! Well go on then!

[Poll #952249]


NB I only realised that Satisfaction was on the front page of Wikipedia after I'd typed out the poll! Spooky!

Tracks and players revealed in the two Week 3 rounds. I know that fugitivemotel is now leading the Pop Premiership on 9 points, but I don't know who's at the top of the Chart Championship - poptasticuk and skillextric both have 6 points, though.

Next week it's alexmacpherson and (IIRC) lisa_go_blind - quick intros and 5 music likes to leagueofpop@gmail.com before Monday, ta!

If you've not sent me yr Week 4 track (haven't checked!) please do so!

Thanks as ever for playing!
