Now 70

I'm off to the supermarket now apparently but just time to tell you there's a Now Poll here and it'd be jolly good if we could all fill it in and have the usual discussion etc. I thought I might do both of last years (all three of last years? I have no idea how these things work) in the next week/fortnight/thingy as a way of clearing the air of 2008/having a little retrospective and then we can get back to the srs work of sorting out how mental Beyonce is going to go with her videos and that.

By the way, if anyone doesn't have any idea what these Now Poll things are, since they've become something of a rarity; basically you tick the boxes next to the songs you think are reasonably listenable on this particular volume of the NOW [number] compilation CDs and then we tot all the votes up (or well, lj does this for us) and the winnar of the compilation gets inducted into the pop hall of fame in the userinfo. It's fairly obvious who's going to win this one but you never know.

[Poll #1330928]

EDIT: god, I always forget something. Err. Will tally up votes for best and worst track from comments.

Best: Break The Ice
Worst: er, where do I begin? OK, how about Scouting For Girls?

My other favorite is "Cry For You."

Cry For You keeps coming up on 4Music adverts at the minute and although I liked it at the time it seems to be getting better and better with age; I didn't remember the Bonnie Tyler-esque screamy edge to September's voice before.

The song is deceptively not raw, since her voice actually has a lot of bite to it. Was disappointed with the album, though, which is a collection of her European hits released for the American market. Her voice is good enough so that with good material she'll likely always be interesting.
