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.

it was v hard to buy a copy as the reckid stores kept selling out.

I WAS TRAINING TO BE A TEACHER when SLTS came out. i bloody loved it, and i felt v embarrassed re any "trendy teacher" thing cos so did the yr 11s, and i managed to never mention it in school.

sadly the same cannot be said, and i hang my head in shame now at the thort of it, when i let my guard down over: daisy chainsaw (spotted "logo" on a pupil's folder) and SULTANS OF PINK (I completed the line "... bumper to bumper")

well they were going "dancin at the disco", i sadly completed the line as i say, and then they sort of laffed, but not in my face, so much as shufflingly embarassed among themselves "OMGz he knows the dumm song".

again i might be being previous as now i think about this, maybe that was jan 1992
