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.

Re: ATTN: People who aren't voting for Zombie as worst track

Oh come on, there are so many worser worsts here: Mary Lou Lord, the Pretenders song, Pavement, Freedy Johnston. And though "Kenneth" is nowhere near as bad as "Everybody Hurts," R.E.M.'s presence on these polls no matter what is far more irritating. Actually, I'd have ticked "Zombie" if I'd have another five ticks or so.

"Monster" was one of those albums where the press really entered Justification Mode (i.e. this record is bad, and we know it's bad, but we really don't want it to be bad).
