The History Of Jop Part 19 aka You have so many relationships in this life

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I decided to do a Jop poll after all, so here's 1997. With "Lovefool" left off for appearing twice, you have nine picks on twenty-five songs - a generous allowance!


[Poll #861316]


Joptimism 1996: Predictable, Us?

1. Common People (38 votes)
2=. California Love (33 votes)
2=. Born Slippy (33 votes)
4. Lovefool (31)
5. No Diggity (30)
6. Woo Hah! Got You All In Check! (28)
7. Setting Sun (23)
8. 1979 (20)
9=. Ready Or Not (19)
9=. Macarena (19)

Thank heaven the Macarena scraped in there ahead of Beck!]

TYPO ERROR: That should be "Cornershop" doing Brimful of Asha, not Chumbawamba - apologies for Cornershop and all their fans. Also it's "Da Funk" not "The Funk". Mondays, eh.

My pick of the year C90 - I was making them regularly for friends. I was a student then, what with being so young and all, and didn't have lots of me, so loads of it is just taped from the Peel show, and I hardly bought anything, so it's not wholly representative - also I was going for a bit of variety, as it could easily have ended up all dance:

Rob & Goldie - The Shadow
Helen Love - Does Your Heart Go Boom
Atari Teenage Riot - Not Your Business
DJ Krust - Maintain
Vinyl Junkie - Can't Forget
Portishead - Cowboys
Finitribe - Flying Peppers
Holmes Brothers - The Train Song
Dave Angel - This Is Disco
Culture - Riverside
DJ Quatro - Play With Me
Panacea - VIP Hitz Jagd (sp?)
Hitchers - Strachan
Riddler - Ain't No Way
Bass X - No No No
DJ Shadow - High Noon
Fall - Inch
Lionrock - Wet Roads Glisten
Armand van Helden - Daboodaa Monks
Ivor Cutler - A Pain In The Neck
