Now 71

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

A 100% majority of 5 has meant we can find ourselves in the far-distant land of 2008 with Now 71. This is pretty blimmin' good one, I must say, although with some terrifying lows from Steve Mac and Peter Kay.

I have spelt that Sash! song wrong. I apologise.

Is the Platnum song a cover of the MJ Cole? I have ticked it on the assumption that it is.

cover of Kristine Blond's "Love Shy" innit. s'OK, I ticked.

I am unsurprised that the top 5 are all from disk 1.

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

Yes; disc 2 starting out with a run of dreariness ending with a Verve flourish is definitely not as enticing as the poppy start of 1.

The structure of Now CDs has vaguely fascinated me; there's the big pop hits, then some stuff they threw on because the record label said they had to take it to get Katy Perry, then the indie, then the dance.

(pours out a 40 for the 'metal' section IE Heart/Kiss/Billy Idol/Whitesnake/er The Alarm/er er Marillion)

Well, The Script and Iglu & Hartley - IGLU AND FUCKING HARTLEY - are a bit of a black hole that votes disappear into.

i have this one (as it is ODD NUMBERED), and i ticked 19. weird how much, in retrospect, i like that saturdays song. (i was not sure about them at all. esp after rub Dep Mode cover - and yazoo sample)
