The History Of Jop Part 5 aka The Kid Is Not My Son

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A delay in the poll caused by my having some work, but finally the ship of retrospective metapop criticism sails into the waters of 1983 - Jackson the winner, Culture Club getting some serious vote-splitting, and this year the P&J poll included a BEST VIDEO section for the first time, which we might well discuss in a separate YouTube-enabled poll later (I can't get YouTube at work).

Procedural Note: I've excised "Back On The Chain Gang" by the Pretenders as it featured last time.

You only get EIGHT votes this time - use them wisely.

You are not alone, tho sadly it couldn't get ticky in this list.

Herbie Hancock is the best musician with that surname to fuse rock and jazz , discuss.

if you like Herbie Hancock (and Stevie Wonder, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby) go to youtube and search for 'hancock grammies 1985 synthesizer medley' or similar.
