The runaway winner of the last week's Canon Selecta was Gwen & No Doubt, whose first eponymous album has been priced at £3 in HMV for the last ten years! 18 hits overall, SIX ticks to dish out for our yodelling princess & her ska-punk chums.

Date: 2007-11-30 12:04 pm (UTC)I think my dislike was a combination of the following factors:
- difficult to play on the guitar, esp if the only bar chord you can do is F
- AWFUL video w/ Gwen sticking her chin out even more than usual
- TOTP playing the same 'live' performance every week for 10 weeks, with the ivy wrapped round the microphone and Gwen in a terrible flowery dress. I would CRINGE when those opening notes sounded and run away.
I couldn't believe it when Just A Girl was completely amazing after that! And the album was full of reggae! And fairground noises! I totally wanted to move to California and jump up & down a lot.

From:Hurray for me and Dansette
Date: 2007-11-30 04:22 pm (UTC)(Sorta like the Neptunes and Gwen decided to be the Contortions, but in a pop way. Pop no wave.)

From:(I Love "Early Winter") But I'm Disappointed By The Video
Date: 2007-11-30 04:36 pm (UTC)Red leaves falling early inside the mansion is a nice touch, but the video is basically the same scenes of happiness, conflict, and brooding, interspersed over and over. So what if it's in a mansion? (Oh, the irony, pain in elegant circumstances.) LeAnn Rimes did elegant video unhappiness much better last year.
I wish there'd been some interesting peculiarity, such as things going well until the guy discovers that Gwen makes her living as a goatherd.
