I Love #1's - 1997

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

What ho, pop-pickers! Last week's jaunt back to 1954 was something of a non-starter, with only 12 voters having heard anything on the list! Secret Love, Such A Night and This Ole House all tied with a piffling 8 votes each, but our Doris was the overall victor in the tie-break box. This week we have something for everyone. The last death throes of Brit-rock, teenpop perfection, lots of songs about dead people and...Tubby Toast? It's 1997!

I didn't tick Tori, but if the Armand Van Helden remix counts, I would have. Can we have a clarification on this important point, please?

It is indeed the remix!

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

I have amended my vote accordingly.

I think that it is the remix and only the remix we're supposed to be evaluating here.

Was there supposed to be another option to "Bless" re G Barlow? That 100% statistic is a bit meaningless without one.

I did type out this poll yesterday as I wasn't sure how much spare time I'd have today. But that was an intentional solo tickybox, more to demonstrate my pity for Gazza than for people to show theirs.

Not only did I tick the GazBaz box I ticked his SONG! Then it struck me that maybe this was the soppy ballad and "Forever Love" was the good disco one.

you can not tick it? Also there is no reaction but 'bless' possible. XD

Original and remix are BOTH great! Sadly the original with its chorus of "Starfucker just like my daddy/Selling his baby just like my daddy" over a thrash metal riff played on a harpsichord would perhaps not quite have been No 1 material.
