The History Of Jop Part 6 aka Animals strike curious poses

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Beware the savage jaw of 1984! The Pazz and Jop poll takes some curious turns this year with plenty to analyse in the comments boxes. For once no holdovers from last time or entries from the EP list, though I was sorely tempted to put Into Battle With The Art Of Noise in.


[Poll #823959]


The Joptimist Metapoll Remix (1983 Dub) is as follows:

1. Billie Jean (35 votes)
2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (34)
3. Little Red Corvette (30)
4. Beat It (28)
5. White Lines (Dont Dont Do It) (26)
6. It's Like That/Sucker MCs (21)
7. Burning Down The House (18)
8. Every Breath You Take (17)
9=. Lets Dance (16)
9=. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (16)
9=. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me (16)

Much wider spread of voting last time btw.

"Dancing In The Dark" is excellent, one of the best things here, but you won't like it - there is probably a cover of it out there somewhere that you would enjoy though.

"I'm On Fire" is creepy enough in its original so I can't imagine what Tori does with it!

I put her cover on sukrat last week! Everyone who downloaded it loved it.

It's actually a pretty straightforward cover, doesn't add much to the song IMO.

Agreed. The Chas 'n' Dave covers were the treasures from that sukrat post.
