The History Of Jop Part 15 aka In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

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.

NIN (I can't do that stupid thing with the second N, sorry)

OK -

1. Poptimists is an LJ community.
2. LJ is full of goths.
3. So why don't we have more NIN fans?

Not that I'm complaining.

Are NIN still erm 'culturally significant'?

they were my tenth tick, but just lost out.

closer is great of course, because it's the one with ALL THE SWEARS in, and, i think, the reason for their acceptance into the jockrock/stadium rock crowd, whereas pretty hate machine is basically just a tribute to early depeche mode (although much better).

no NIN, no marilyn manson, no goth kids in corrie, but i don't evne thinkmrs_carsmile thinks they are, um, culturally significant...

With Teeth was actually pretty good, wunnit?

Although actually I am probably a goth, at least ethnically and I used to really like industrial.
