If it's Thursday, it must be 1994! The grip of alt.rock and hip-hop - mostly alt.rock - on the Pazz and Jop poll is close to total, and Anglophiles aren't carrying much weight. This does mean that we've got a lot of tracks to rate that never came near a Now album, though!

NINE ticks out of 27 songs.

[Poll #853615]

Man, it looked like the Offspring were going to be a half decent band for a minute there, huh?

I have such fond memories of nearly dying on an Ilford dance floor every time that track came on... *sigh*

I've got Offspring's hits album, and it's great for the first six songs, and nearly identical sounding for the final seven, with the seventh track ("Pretty Fly for a White Guy") providing the transition, the novelty track that's sorta halfway betwee great and so-what.

Smash is great! Lost it long ago, but I bet it's better overall than a greatest hits comp.

To be fair, Ixnay On The Hombre was also good but they have totally pissed it all away ever since, despite still occupying an important place in a)my musical development, b)my CD pile and c)my happy fantasy world where Dexter Holland doesn't have a daughter the same age as me. :(
