The History Of Jop Part 13 aka It's fun to lose and to pretend

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Back after a short absence it's the Pazz and Jop poll for 1991 - a particular blockbuster of a poll this with TEN ticks to be shared between 28 singles (would have been 29 but for C&C Music Factory cropping up last year too).

There's a fair bit of ground to cover in the comments boxes, I'm thinking!


[Poll #845917]


1990: Time For The (Poptimist) Guru

1. Groove Is In The Heart (48 votes)
2. Vogue (42)
3. Nothing Compares 2 U (34)
4. Gonna Make You Sweat (28)
5. Been Caught Stealin (26)
6. Justify My Love (25)
7. Hold On (24)
8. Kool Thing (21)
9. Epic (19)
10=. Welcome To The Terrordome (18)
10=. 911 Is A Joke (18)

Note very rapid drop off in vote totals from 1-3 down.

maybe but 13 year old me was unimpressed and unaware of the joke. wasn't it all because Kurt was told he HAD to sing live hence taking the piss?

USE CORRECT FACTS PLS ;)

what happened was kurt's throat was fvcked (possibly due to touring/possibly due to large amount of druqs), and as it had been DECREED that all artists MUST sing live at this point in TOTP history (beginning of the end, in my opinion), despite kurt's begging they wouldn't let him mime, hence the performance we got.

anyone who sa anything else is WRONG ;)
