The History Of Pop Part 10 aka I see the A Team the A Team the A Team

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the final Now poll of the year, starting slightly early to make way for a Wobs do. Next week people will be going home for the hols and so polls will resume when we all get back in January, bright-eyed and itching to vote for Climie Fisher. Meanwhile here's 1987 in full cry - several strong possibilities including a festive coinky-dink at the end.

NOW FACT: Madonna has never appeared on a Now album! Her ex shows up on this one though.

Now 9 elicited little enthusiasm, and whoever wins will win with the lowest % of votes ever, under 2/3 of ticks. It's between the Rasies, the Jovies and the Euries. Simply Red and UB40 seemed the most disapproved of.

ISTR from working at B____ that the reason Madge doesn't appear on NOW albums is that there's always an 18-month holdback on clearance for compilations for her tracks, or something. ALLEGEDLY etc.

I heart the werk database, because now I can pull up ALL the compilations that Madge has ever been on! Just give me 2xticks.

No no dear lady please exert yourself no further.

Anyway I think this list has nothing to disprove catsgo's suggestion.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

She seems utterly fine with giving her music to Step Aerobics compilations

[catsgomiaow.livejournal.com]

YESBUT my point was, if the NOW comps are supposed to be up-to-the-minute and all, the tracks will be no GOOD after an 18-month holdback, will they? INNIT

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Whereas step aerobics is timeless!

OH MAD LIZZIE WHERE ARE YOU NOW!?

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say 'isn't it bizarre how Jacko and Madge (and Prince) are absent from the NOW!s' - it never really occurred to me before

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Prince appears twice w/the New Power Generation.

Michael Jackson was on earlier w/ "Farewell My Summer Love" but never again!
