The Friday Canon: ERASURE

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Unquestionably pop, but are they any cop? You get TEN ticks for today's rather tardy canon (apologies!).

Oh l'amour teh remix but where is the original oh l'amour? Is it on one of those EPs?

No it only got to no.89!

I only ticked 6 :-(

The shameful thing is that I'm sure a lot of the ones I left unticked are grebt, I just can't recall them. All but four of them went top 20 so it's not like they were totally obscure. Minus points for Kat.

For anyone confused about the Crackers International EP - the lead track was Stop!, which people may be more familiar with. It's easily one of their best and should be doing far better than it is right now.

it's Erasure's fault for having silly EP titles.

Stop! is easily the best Erasure single eva... way to go releasing a monster christmas single that references the season solely through the medium of bells.

(unless you count the b-sides)

Aye. It's predictably rub.
