The History Of Pop Part 7 aka You must be out of your brilliant mind

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Is anyone surprised to learn that La Bush and "Running Up That Hill" won the Now 6 poll? With 100% approval? Leaving poor old Eurythmics trailing behind, and Jan Hammer even further behind? No, I thought not. This one might be a little more open - or maybe not. Wooden spoon goes to MARILLION who found not one defender and are banished forever to sukrat town. The scientific community remain divided on when Queen got rubbish though the weight of opinion suggests a little after 1986: watch future polls for further developments.

Genre segregation in full swing here and I've included the major scientific advance of "NONE OF THE ABOVE" votes at the end of each section of the poll-busting 33 songs, which should make the percentages a little clearer. Look out for a sudden acknowledgement of hip-hop, for the first appearances of SAW, A-Ha and the PSB, for Amazulu's posterity-baiting song title, for parentheses a go-go. And UB40 feature AGAIN.

On, boldly into 1986 we go!


[Poll #627132]

I want to hear this again. And Amazulu. And Midnight Starr just because they're the only one that hasn't got a vote yet.
