Jop Tournament Qualifiers 4

Another four showdowns, with Timberlake and his ex featuring prominently. In yesterday's second batch of polls, Madonna, Sister Sledge and Joy Division won convincingly, with Prince's "Kiss" sneaking up on Grandmaster Flash and R Kelly to take Group H by a single vote.


[Poll #912403]


Tomorrow - "Zigga-zig-ah!" "B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" "Woo-hoo!" and much more!

Greatest Rock Moments In All Of Jop

[personal profile] koganbot 2007-01-23 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Two of the greatest rock moments in all of Jop are:

(1) the guitar part from "Edge Of Seventeen/Bootylicious" (is a Yardbirds-style rave-up, driving the rhythm, unrelenting knife thrusts).

(2) when Stan tells Slim "I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me" (talk about knife thrusts, this is Dylan or Jagger '65, or Lou '67, savage evisceration, but precise).

Re: "Edge of Seventeen" sample in "Bootylicious". According to the "Billboard's Book of Number One Hits" or whatever by Fred Bronson, the producers really wanted "Eye of the Tiger" for that part but none of them had the record there. So they used "Edge of Seventeen" as a good enough temporary filler but ended up liking it enough that they left it in.
