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.

i should tell you all that his drum n' base album ws the only David Bowie album I heard while browsing at bks (a couple of years ago in waterstones near charing X at about half an hour before closing time).

a sign of quality, if there ever was one!

Black tie white noise is the one w/ Lester Bowie on it, isn't it? For joke purposes alone it is obv better (I am close to being a DBowie hata)
