The Historiography of Pop Part 6 aka The Sweet Sixteen

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Sixteen songs remain, eight will go through to the quarter-final polls.

This poll will be open till Wednesday morning. What I'd like for the next round is for the winning eight songs to get 50 words each from an advocate (i.e one of YOU LOT) saying why it should be the overall WINNAR. So if you fancy doing this, let me know.


[Poll #800734]


LET BATTLE BEGIN!

"'Always on My Mind' is by the Pet Shop Boys who knew some boys who worked in a pet shop but had never worked in a pet shop themselves. This didn't stop them from associating with such people, and this song is evidence that a lot is on their minds."

"'Music Sounds Better With You' has a beat that stays with you. I like this very much. The video stars a boy whose parents don't get along so to be happy he builds a large-sized model plane and he takes it out and lets it fly and it soars magnificently."

"Adamski's 'Killer' features the singer Seal, who does not copy his singing style from actual seals, who sing instead of barking but the singer Seal doesn't bark, his singing is smooth instead. You could say that his singing sounds like how a seal looks rather than how a seal sounds."

"'Together in Electric Dreams' is like being adrift in a sea of computer wavelengths. This is fine if you don't get seasick. Some people take years figuring out what they want to do, but the singer here doesn't spend time filling out forms, he just opens his mouth and sings."
