poptimistsIf you're like me then you'll be feeling a bit fatigued by your first day back at work. What better way to de-cobweb than with a NOW poll from the first half of 1988: The Year Pop Changed (Again). An intriguing Now, this - a disc and a half of classics rubbing shoulders with barrel scrapings, and then suddenly BANG ZOOM Now goes DANCE CRAZY. Beats! Samples! Sudden eruptions of Slade-style spelling! The best house pun title ever! Spare a thought for Climie Fisher, the victim of sequencing circumstance. Also GOTH ALERT, let's see how the Mish do on this one.
Now 10 saw M/A/R/R/S and "Pump Up The Volume" winning near-universal acclaim, and Europe's "The Final Countdown" wrestle through from the mire of Now 9. Now it's time to once again take up the burden of democracy:
[Poll #644631]
Debate, despair and debilitation in the comments box pls...

Date: 2006-01-03 02:24 pm (UTC)was there a specific remix that had "i know you gonna dig this" sample at the start of the Climie Fisher? I know i've heard a slightly less erm "beat-y" versh of it, and assume that that was the original that got spiced up with Bomb Da Bass style phat dope gubbins.
what a great 3rd batch - minus minor. i bet "jack and chill" is great, i just don't recall, so left that unticked.
this is of the era of the best run of #1s ever (inc the first two tracks here)

Date: 2006-01-03 02:25 pm (UTC)I have a colleague who looks just like the very annoying Tony Hawks of Morris Minor and the Majors notoriety. Fortunately he is not inclined towards rapping.

Date: 2006-01-04 10:36 am (UTC)it reminds me of vegas era, bad taste, elvis, singing the America triology:silly, overblown, odd, and lurid, obv. almost done, but everytime i hear it i get a lump in my throat and i believe in a country where the poor boy from tupelo can get to this point in is own decay...

Date: 2006-01-04 10:49 am (UTC)I think it's interesting that they put Morrissey next to Elton, though Moz at this stage wasn't full-on into his street-fighting, death and sentimentality kick.
