The History Of Pop Part 61 aka Nim Nim Nim Nim

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. Let's get this one over with. Now 61 is not a very good Now album. The impression of badness is enhanced by Now's sudden decision to move all the great pop tracks to the arse end of disc 2, part of the general loss of faith in pop that was sweeping the blogosphere world in 2005, at least before this very community came along to SORT IT OUT.

Gwen Stefani is your winner on Now 60, by the way.

Re: WORST NOW EVER

The Gwen vs Eve song was the rip-off of Topol's 'If I Were A Rich Man' from everyone's favourite Jewish musical, 'Fiddler On The Roof'.

Agree that the Hard-Fi song is one of the only decent tracks on this Now, although I maintain that 'Living For The Weekend' and 'Feltham Is Singing Out' are better tunes. 'Hard To Beat' is the most "pop" thing they've done though.

Gwen and Eve didn't even rip off Fiddler On The Roof directly - they ripped off the rip-off by Lady Saw called 'If I Were A Rich Girl', probably on the basis that no one would have heard it outside dancehall "circles".

Sorry I don't mean 'rip-off' I mean INTERPOLATION innit.
