The History Of Pop Part 18 aka Already caused a scandal, a disturbance like a vandal

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

1990 in full swing in Now 18 - a particularly mixed bag as the Now series still gamely attempts to please allcomers with a bit of everything. Could anyone have liked everything here, or even 80% of it? One theme that's been coming out in these polls and comments is the people who liked - or made themselves like - almost everything on the first Now or two they got, even if time has since mellowed their sensibilities. It's the old debate - can you train yourself to like something?

Meanwhile a photo finish on Now 17 sees Adamski's "Killer" the victor, with Beats International a single vote behind, and Happy Mondays and Depeche Mode one behind that. The write-in polls reflected the closeness, with no consensus on what was best, though 'worst' was hogged by Phil and The Yoobies, as per. Bobby Gillespie's highpoints were drawn across the man's remarkably long career - special tips of the indie hat to the "Velocity Girl" diehards, there.

LET'S VOTE

The fact that the vote has closed on 17 already, and I have not voted yet despite (no, BECAUSE OF) the fact it is at home, seems to sum up my week. Bah.
