A Year In Pop: 14

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

After last week's total damp squib (lowest polling numbers ever, too) - this is more like it. Too much more like it you might say with 12!!! new entries as the charts have a big old spring clean. At least 3 tracks here which have had their own poptimists thread! GET TICKING!

[Poll #963576]

The Mark Ronson one really reminds me of Playgroup - similarly laborious (though I liked Playgroup for a bit when it came out).

I've never heard Playgroup! Oddly I didn't mind Mark Ronson's first album, though admittedly that was not minding it on the understanding that I'd never have to hear it again.

He produced the Amy Winehouse album which is why this is getting attention I'd guess, though the production is basically the worst thing about that album.

Lex you HAVE heard the Arctic Monkeys. I sent you a copy of Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor under the guise of Back In Black by the A-Team featuring Grace Jones.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Haha I remember that! I forgot to listen to it which is a BLESSED RELIEF now. It still resides on Gareth's computer and has not sullied my ears. I can't believe you would have TRICKED ME like that!

Hang on did Grace Jones do a track with the A Team then?

she was married to Mr T for a while.

I don't know who that is...

Foo!

(Er, you have to know who Mr. T is for that comment to make sense.)

I thought Matt wasn't lying completely! Is this song good?

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

It is like the Sugarhill Gang with added diva vocals over the top. It's astonishingly good, I can't believe you haven't heard it!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Well THAT is because SOMEONE lied and sent the wrong song deliberately!
