I have a day off today, which is grebt, but I forgot to note down the various FITEs for today's poll. So no poll. EXCEPT! I can remember the very next one - because it is an MONSTER.

So this is the televised centre court pick-of-the-round tie, if you like.


[Poll #917645]


Crikey! Maybe this afternoon I will do the rules for the League Of Pop. Or maybe I will go and get a haircut.

It's not just the Eastern sample which makes it sound futuristic though - it's a really minimal track but every single sound is a) somewhere where you least expect it and b) completely arresting - the off beats, the squelchy bass, the INCREDIBLE amounts of space - even the emptiness of the song sounds loud! And of course Missy's vocal performance is maybe THE greatest of the decade so far, all those tics and catchphrases.

I've never witnessed such consensus about any song as GUFO received at the time, for what it's worth.

Oh, I don't know about this Lex. "Hey Ya" for example, had more consensus, I think. And I don't see how GUFO had more consensus even than "Work It". Then you've got "Since U Been Gone", "Crazy", etc. And this is just the last 3 or 4 years.
