1. Was "This Corrosion" by Sisters Of Mercy ever not pop?

2. Has there ever been a greater contrast between sublime guest star contribution and irritating name artist contribution than Akon and Gwen on "Sweet Escape"?

3. What's going on here?

Hmm, seeing as what is and isn't pop can be quite subjective, I'd say yes: to 13 year old me, This Corrosion was almost the antithesis of pop, and I hated it. At some point subsequent to that I (a) began to love it and (b) realised it was sooooo pop. Sadly I can't remember which came first.

1. Heehee this is far too funny not to be pop!

2. I LIKE THIS SONG! It's better than Goatherd anyway. Both Gwen and Akon are ace on it. Rest of Gwen album apart from Yummy = k poor.

3. I also saw the ad for the 'Rock Disco' thing at Angel tube. I think it's because they've run out of titles like 'F1lthy Disco' or 'Sh1t Disco', so they thought they'd go for an even 'worse' word.

I actually really like Gwen on 'Sweet Escape', because/despite the fact that her perforance is coy 'True Blue'-aping pandering...

I'm pretty sure it's pop except for the time I saw Lambchop doing a cover.
