Obvious comment to say ALL THOSE SONGS ARE GOOD (except 1million love songs = Barlow fodder). Come on, vote for EVERYTHING CHANGES! And everything! etc etc. MARK 4EVS.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

1 million love songs is beautiful you heartless monster. cis_4_gary will back me up on this I believe.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

aye, 1 million lurve songs is great! top elton-aping. it is the better ballad than back for good which is overrated boy band ho hum.

Pray is good too. and Only takes a Minute. And...hang on etc..

Given my recent (ish) POP CONVERSION (ish) I was really expecting to like some of the songs when I watched that docu the other day. But I still thought they were dreadful :( I only like girlbands = I am the POP LESBIAN!

[sbp.livejournal.com]

Yes there are very few boy bands I like. Monkees and Beatles is about it. Then again I don't like most manufactured girl bands apart from Les Girls du Spice and the odd GA song bcos Nadine is the cutXXor init. But then I remember the Nolan Sisters.... :-/

"I mean, what was UP with those hats"!!

I also require an 'ALL THOSE SONGS ARE GOOD except 1 million love songs' tickybox.

It Only Takes A Minute might just edge it for that fantastic opening synth line.

But also, WHERE are Could It Be Magic/Relight My Fire? pfft.

Anyone ever see them live? Was dragged* by a friend to see them at Earl's Court=REVELATION. Best thing EVAH.



*this was about 1994. Me=enormo music snob in the worst student/muso way possible.

Relight My Fire!!

I did think of CIBM but by that point I was feeling guilty for setting up a poll instead of doing my work.

What is the 'new' track on the GHits like, does anyone know?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

relight my fire WINS. i'd forgotten!

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

My favourite ridiculous boyband lyric:

'Most of my friends were strangers ... when I met them'

Great song tho'

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

They were predicting the interweb!

[zenith.livejournal.com]

The funny thing about the That is that circa their peak was probably also the peak of my indie-ism, and yet I could never bring myself to hate them even then, was never under any illusion that Pray and Back For Good and Never Forget were brilliant songs.

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

ah, wheras I had to SEE to BELIEVE.

(and I don't even have the excuse of being indie-ist. My muso-ism allowed for many genres, but I DENIED the shiny pop of my youth)

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

NO! keep on movin' or leave right now win.

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

The video for 'Pray' is one of the best things EVAH.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

RElight ma fire!

I AM TEH LIVING EMBODIMENT OF LULU

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

b-b-b-but she's not dead!

[umlauts.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why, but I can never seem to type anything in any of the comments boxes thing, so I can't admit that my favourite boy band was 5ive. And I probably shouldn't, except that I just did.

This must mean Mark Owen's disappointed with only selling 7 copies of his rather good "How The Mighty Fall" elpee.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

I thought that "Four Minute Warning" was a good song.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Mark Owen has at least THREE good singles. This is as many as Robbie!

[cis.livejournal.com]

I think if I actuallly sat down and considered it either jason or howard would be my favourite, but since the age of eight or so when my group of friends was split equally down the middle on the mark v robbie question I became a Mark girl, and so I have remained.

Also, were nsync not my favourite non-J boyband 5ive would be, because they were about at the height of my rockism and yet I could not but wuv them.

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Dude, you have made me feel VERY OLD with that first paragraph.

SMUG
