The History Of Pop Part 13 AKA Acieeeed! Acieeeeed!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Our friends at Now squeeze the lemon of 1988 for one final time in a compilation perhaps most notable for the sequencers allowing their granite mask to slip for a DO YOU SEE moment at the end of disc 2. To my eyes few golden greats but a melange of covers, ill-judged revivals, former Go-Gos, new boy bands, big hippie goths, lip-synchers, blondes, thick accents and Level 42 that should at least provide fertile comments box mulch.

Now 12 saw Salt N Pepa and S Express run neck and neck for a good 25 votes until "Push It" pulled ahead. Tiffany and the Timelords close behind, Sabrina beaten by Morrissey. Glen M and "the Wets" (o horror) fighting it out for worst. Lu Cont vs The Beatles? Tomorrow Never Knows, Hey Jude, ROCKTOPUS' Garden, Free as An Bird. Oh dearie.

and oh look, you end up on LIVEJOURNAL. Coincidence, or something more sinister?

He's got a point. Are you a special snowflake?

Kiss - weak, bombastic and humourless compared to Prince's sneaky and subtle effort.
- as Stevem notes, probably made Tom Jone think 'hhhmmm, sticking around and piggybacking hapless popular artists for chart success. Sounds good, yes?' so CANNOT BE FORGIVEN.
