THE HISTORY OF POP PART 3 aka Are You So Deaf That You Cannot Hear?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No 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.

i never even heard 'Mabuse' until recently so am not surprised by indifference really.

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?)
