A Year In Pop: 5
Feb. 7th, 2007 02:42 pmFirst of two polls today (the second being a January round-up). The more familiar pop names are starting to wake from their start-of-year slumbers, albeit nearly all with later singles from recent albums. Have a sift through this lot!

Date: 2007-02-07 09:22 pm (UTC)People somehow manage to tease me for both a) being more indie than I say I am, and b) having an unfair kneejerk reaction to guitars - but they can't have it both ways! I have always liked rock done well: Hole, PJ Harvey, Ashlee Simpson. But I don't like it when other music forms make concessions to rock and in so doing lessen themselves, which is why I'm all "ugh guitars" when I hear them in dance or hip-hop. And above all else I don't like rock BOYS, I don't like their voices and I don't like their attitudes towards music and I don't like the way they iron out everything feminine from their music (and I hate it even more when they try to be feminine). The last boys-with-guitars album I liked was the first Interpol one!
