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

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.

I am surprised you haven't mentioned the Tori Amos cover Lex, which is one of the v. few things by her I own.

I was going to but feared that people might have become slightly Amos-covered out. But it is gorgeous, and obviously far far far superior to the ham-fistedly self-centred original.

Haha she's covered both the top 2 singles of this year and improved them both! Go Tori.
