After Friday's wranglings it came to me that what we need is some kind of scientific way of working out exactly how pop various acts are. I was going to call this simple feature the POPOMETER but [livejournal.com profile] awesomewells came up with a better name.

The idea is very simple - on a 1 to 10 scale, tell us how pop a particular act is. A score of 1 would be given to someone like Nurse With Wound, who are not very pop at all. A score of 10 might go to Britney Spears, or ABBA, both of whom are extremely pop. Over the weeks the results of these polls will build up to a body of incontrovertible evidence as to the popticity of our hott music starz.

[Poll #782116]

(If you neither know nor care who the Lex is just give the same answer to both questions!)

Kat = 1/10

Stereolab = -10 points, even a Britney collaboration would only bring them up to 0.

Girls with French accents == indie, tho.

Nothing is more indie than being a French woman.
