The History Of Pop Part 13 AKA Acieeeed! Acieeeeed!

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.

I don't actively know how any of these go except WPGRs and Yazz, I'm voting almost entirely on principle here.

You don't know how "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)" goes?! I despair for the youth of today.

I'd never heard of it or that band it's by until today. I didn't pay attention to music before I was born, you see.

Stop pretending you're 17. Your youthful good looks aren't going to last forever.

I can still pass for 16, thankyou very much.
