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 this is the first Pazz and Jop I've actually known any of the songs on from the time, as were. I thought this was a pretty ace selection of tracks from the time but I was a very indie under-ten, by virtue of realising I knew precisely fuck all about Take That and was unlikely to catch up with my obsessive classmates when I moved school suddenly, turning me into something of the stereotypical indie kid wot doesn't exist anymore because indie is cool and all that.

I think I actually own well over half the albums the tracks in this are from :o Which means 1994 must have been my seminal music year on some level, since certainly didn't buy them all aged 7 as anyway they would have been on tape etc. etc. etc.
