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: Aaliyah, All-4-One, Ace
Date: 2006-10-26 03:25 pm (UTC)the bloating of new jack swing into ballad hell (boyziimen, i'm looking at YOU) and all the ladies warblers (whitney houston's "i will always love you" is *directly* responsible for this isn't it?) were never going to score that high cos it was rubbish pop. the only one i'm surprise dthat is missing (apart from ace of base) is r kelly, but "bump n grind" a bit racy for height of real actual political correctness?
