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.

Slim pickings this time round. Simone disqualified as a reissue AND from an advert I think? What was the good Johnny Hates Jazz single called?

This compilation features - sorry dubdob - the Communards best song AND the Housemartins best song!

And Whitesnake's for all I know.

AND Bananarama's which ought to be pulling in more votes I think.

I cannot remember how the Style Council one goes but I DO know that it's real full title is Wanted; or; Waiter There's A Man In My Soup - would this knowledge have made anyone change their votes I wonder.

Can I be the only person who likes that Heart song?

"My Pretty One" by Sir Clifford sounds k-creepy.

Such hatred for Barcelona, the planet!!

are curiosity killed the cat the same people who did 'don't you worry bout a thing?' cos i heard that in the pub last night and it's a v special song indeed. i haven't heard this one. or the t'pau or the heart, both of which i suspect are ace.

i haven't heard my choice for the now 9 winner either but it has to be better than the other two MONSTROSITIES

This is the first album I ever bought had bought for me, and as such I ended voting for all but 5 of them. Though I think special meantion must be made of Barcelona - anyone who voted for Total Eclipse of the Heart but not this should take a serious look at their life.

not a bad NOW really

i can't remember how 'The Real Thing' goes although if Jellybean is involved it can't be that bad.

i've never heard 'Wanted', 'Sukrat Mice' or 'Build'!

this must be it for songs on NOW!s that i've never heard though. i expect to know everything from NOW! 10 onwards but we'll see.
