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.

i think select had called it britpop by this point, and it meant suede and blur and pulp and elastica (and st et and the auteurs and possibly gene). going on the basis of supersonic and live forever oasis could easily have joined them.

I always thought of Britpop as rock-inflected by definition, and therefore Saint Etienne were definitely something else. At least that's what I remember thinkning back in 1994-1995 - "hey dance(y) music that i like!"
