I Love #1's - 1988

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week everyone's favourite Russian faux-lesbians Tatu won their battle with Bouncey & the 'Babes to claim best number one of 2003, with a whopping 46 ticks. Poor old Snedders fared as badly as his follow-up single with only 2 votes of confidence, though looking at the text box some might say Gary Jules was the greater hate figure of the year (blatantly because you all had a tenner on 'Proper Crimbo' to hit the Xmas top spot instead). Now we come to the year where SmallKat first discovered the the magical world of the pop charts - 1988!

The honest truth is...

...that I don't think I would miss any of these songs if I never heard them again. This is a year when I was listening to Jane's Addiction and Fishbone and Prince and New Order.

That said, this is easily my favorite of the early Kylie tracks. and I think I might like "Perfect" if I heard it again, although it's totally lost to me at the moment. Yazz is quite fine (I only heard the original of this earlier this year) and the Hollies is classic but why is it charting in 1988? Oh and Glenn Medeiros was proto-BSB. Maybe I should go back and tick these but I am feeling uncharitable this morning.

The Hollies were used in a beer commercial. I think it was Miller but I could be wrong. Not my demographic, innit :-)

Heaven is a place on earth?
