The History Of Pop Part 63 aka My lovely lady lumps

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The penultimate Now poll finds us on very familiar ground - almost all these songs have been Poptimist-polled before by the diligent Steve M. To be frank I doubt you'll find much work for your ticking fingers here but we need to go through this one to 'complete the set' to let's be at it.

Sugababes won the Now 62 poll by a reasonable margin, despite being very few people's overall favourite. They're in it again this time.


[Poll #787404]

'Talk' is the one where they VOMIT ALL OVER KRAFTWERK - it's one of the few Coldplay singles which, instead of just being a blur of blah, is actively vile!

but the JLC mix is actually quite good. ah the ol' Speak & Spell!

It would be good if it did away with that bloody voice.

Actually, it's the one when KRAFTWERK SAVE COLDPLAY.

Ie the Computer Love hook is so good it redeems whatever shite it's attached to, and Coldplay base the entire song around it so that's fine.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

yes but it's not really the Computer Love hook, it's the Computer Love hook played on awful widescreen stadium rock guitar :(
