poptimistsNo Music Day? NOW MUSIC DAY more like. The first two songs have been entered into the Poptimists Pop'n'Poll hall of fame and they are:
NOW 1: The Human League - Fascination
NOW 2: Frankie says RELAX.
Applause, huzzahs etc. Nena was a v.close runner up on Now 2 with Cyndi Lauper, the Smiths and some other people also doing well. Poor old SNOWY WHITE and the mysterious Julia and Company did worst of all.
Today's poll has all sorts of "they were on a NOW??" entries, and was going to be accompanied by YSIs of some 'prime cuts' from 1 & 2 but this must wait until tomorrow cos I fvcked up the YSI somehow. As ever, comments more than welcome.
[Poll #617109]

Date: 2005-11-21 02:36 pm (UTC)I watched the video to 'Dancing With Tears* In My Eyes' on V:MX last night and by jovi it is quite powerful and moving, no really.
*i initially typed 'teats' there, which would be a different experience though no less powerful nor moving.

Date: 2005-11-21 02:42 pm (UTC)I may have to discount the votes of popophobes who do not fill out the Duran Duran poll.
The Madness track is a rumination on ageing with added saXoR.
I have no explanation for David Sylvian.

Date: 2005-11-21 02:46 pm (UTC)Because I own NOW 3 (or rather my sister does = same diff.)Therefore all of them are any good at all*. But even w/o that ownership factor, it must be said that this is a v. strong comp**, easily superior to NOWs 1 & 2.
*Note: I cannot remember how either the G.Glitter or "Susanna" goes.
**Warning note: "Dr. Mabuse" is the single edit, so doesn't have the Penderecki strings; dock a point for that.

Date: 2005-11-21 03:12 pm (UTC)"Against All Odds" is a GREAT song. It's the bloke's I Will Survive.
Any reminders as to how Pearl in t'shell goes?
What these polls suggest so far is that the version of the 80s as seen in skooldisco etc. is basically RIGHT as far as crowdpleasers go.

Date: 2005-11-21 03:49 pm (UTC)2. I'm thinking that there are more outright pop songs on the list that people are opting for.
3. It's a bit scary
Re: random thoughts
Date: 2005-11-21 03:52 pm (UTC)2. Maybe but the poll's not set up as an either/or, it's a 'vote for everything you like', on Now 2 there were only about 3 songs I didn't tick.

Re: random thoughts
Date: 2005-11-21 03:56 pm (UTC)in the pub on Friday i tried to explain why it may qualify as PROG but it didn't really happen (side question: what is most Prog song on a Now compilation, even in radio edit form?)
