poptimistsA close poll for Now 8 saw Run DMC come out winners with a record 30 tiXoRs - Cameo in second, and the Pet Shops and Mel and Kim in third. Glancing over the wurstvotes it seems that poor Nick Berry carries off the sausage.
And now onto Now 9. Early 87: a problematic time for pop in some ways, with questions being asked inthe House the press over the sudden ad-inspired influx of old pop in the charts. I genuinely have no idea what's going to win this. Notice though the first sniffs of HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG coming to save us from Kamen et all. UB40 and Genesis provide an air of cosy familiarity in this brave new cyberworld, though.

Well while i was on my own and with my friends from another college. The indie crowd from my own college were having none of it. esp eg 808 state. the arses.

A-Ha really never put out a bad single, though "Velvet" from 2000 was a bit naff for various reasons.
Do any non-Brits like The Housemartins in any capacity?
Alcazar has not redeemed "Land Of Confusion" fully, yet.
