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.

Re: I was a Complete Chump for not voting for "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Oh, I doubt she'd have sung it with an excess of respect, as I'm guessing that she took the song as BEING ABOUT HER (just as I took "Autobiography" as being about me), so the whole point would have been for her to get up in front of her fans and sing "Make me over," and then "Look at my face/My name is Might Have Been/My name is Never Was/My name's Forgotten" and enjoy while people gasped.

Have you seen Ashlee doing "Sweet Dreams"? She prances around the stage flourishing a couple of white capes.
