"We believe the big papers are calling it 'wonky pop'"

The upside to recession and global conflict? The Dolly Rockers, apparently.

You can choose the highlights from their magnificent band bio yourself, but I would just mention this:

Dolly Rockers belong to the generation who want pop back on their own terms. A generation who make no distinction between Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’ and Blur’s ‘Girls & Boys’

Sounds great! One paragraph later:

“We don’t feel we have much in common with manufactured girl bands. Pop music to us is Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Mark Ronson…”

(TBH I quite enjoyed the one song I heard by them. So I don't want to blame them for the worst piece of pop writing this year.)

Best Song of 2001: Heat #4

Missy Elliott gets the highest turnout of the decade so far, with a whopping 49 votes to win heat #3. Daft Punk, S Club 7 and Mary J Blige are safely through, but Alicia and DanBed tie for fifth - see below for the run-off.

Today's poll sees double J-Lo remix action, microgoth, mashups, possible incest and the Jackson Five (sort of). It's heat #4, everybody!

Voting rules remain the same - TEN ticks in total. )

Just tell her it wasn't you! )
