I was strangled by medically needing to tick both Elasticas and both TLCs. It's probably my favourite Shaggy song up there though, amazing stuff.

This year the combined forces of Elastica, Portishead & Massive Attack turned me off the glorious chart dance I had loved so much in the previous 3 years and sent me down the path of guitar-playing gothery.

Almost the same here except sans Elastica; and P'head and M Attack are TECHNICALLY DANCE (ie found in the dance section of HMV) and have no guitars so my get-out clause is PRESERVED!

God those TLC songs are masterworks.

Both Massive Attack and esp P'head have TONNES of guitar.

Not as the lead instrument though!

Alas Lex most pop has guitars in, just not playing the distortion-heavy chords you loathe so.
