Crikey readers WITHOUT CLICKING can you guess which member of Take That is NOT reforming for the reunion tour.

Who should they get in to perform his BITS?

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.

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

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!

[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..

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

haha freakytigger and i in 5ive mindmeld shockah. They were great weren't they?

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

You SAPS!!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

back for good is the rockist choice.

that doesn't mean a million love songs is any good, mind.

i liked east 17 better because they were realer. 'deep' was my first ever cd single!

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

rougher you mean. i like my boy bands sanitised it seems. or will this lead me to...one true voice! oh no!

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Million Love Songs is of course now WELL AND TRULY STUCK IN MY HEAD.

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

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

A MILLLLLLLL-YUN LOVE SONGS WERE LAAAAAID-OW

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

YOU WESTLIFE FAN

(yes, i mean rougher. i would have said 'bit of rough' or similar but i don't think i've ever fancied boy band members. apart from half of mcfly. and half of v.)

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

ooh check out the lean.

"you two go that way, i'll lean this way. the ladies laaaahv it"

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Haha accusations of rockism and then 2 sentences later "i liked X better because they were realer"!! Oh the tangled web!

(I think at this point NOT liking BFG is kind of the lame-o move, it's a great Britpop record)

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

mcflay are the antithesis of rough.

matt from busted was a bit rough, yum i mean ugh.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

the wonky chorus vocals annoy me tho, tom! that first "whatever" is all over the scale.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

i was meaning to mock my own pre-teenage rockism!

'great britpop record' is a phrase which makes absolutely not one iota of sense to these ears.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Actually rougher makes a lot more sense.

When the NOW polls reach 95 I fear you're going to find yourself an unhappy man :(

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

oddly when it came to spice girls vs all saints, the 'realer' ones weren't the rougher ones.

i was buying the now albums in 95! i endured so much crap on them, there was always one great cassette and one RUB one.

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

BFG = best pop ballad between Careless Whispers and Leave Right Now. I've mentioned before being struck on my holiday in Jamaica at hearing I believe five different reggae versions of it.

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

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.

if we bring in leave right now, it just trounces all comers, really!
