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.

also, all those songs in the top ten that aren't ace of base are RUBBISH ;)

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?

!!!!!!!

ace of base are the WORST songs in that top 10 by VERY LONG WAY!

toni braxton! miss mariah! swoonsome harmonies from boyz ii men! swoonsome and majestic and ROMANTIC harmonies from all-4-one! lisa loeb and her lyrics!

personal feelings aside, they were never likely to sway the american alt.rock journos though were they?

(also they are rubbish ;))
