poptimistsLadies and gentlemen a historic moment - a Now album without either Phil Collins OR UB40 on it. And also proof that in early 1991 - for it is then - dance music had 'won' to the extent that the Now disc would front-load it on CD1. Which left what for CD2? Erm...not an inspiring line up, frankly.
Betty Boo joins the victory list with a strong showing on Now 18, with Sinead O Connor second and then a pack of others trailing several votes behind. Phil C is joined by Sting and Timmy Mallet in the chorus of disapproval, with poptimist opinion latching onto Prince pastiche "Sussudio" as the great man's least unfine hour. But that was then - and this isNOW ALSO THEN!
[Poll #662940]
(Note by the way the historically accurate crediting of "Unfinished Sympathy")
EDIT:OH BOLL0CKS I FVCKED UP THE THIRD BIT OF THE POLL and did it as radio buttons. You can't go back and edit polls so I'll redo that question as a separate post. Sorry!

A powerful feeling that the American system
is failing to deal with the real threats to life
the bomb, the pollution of air and water
the population explosion
THE MOUNTAINS, slums, and crime...
is how I always heard the spoken word intro to IN YER FACE - but just what was their beef with mountains?
this track will always be fantabulously spectaculent

MC Mikee Freedom! That's a great song.
EMF will always have a minor place in my heart for claiming their name stood for Epsom Mad Funkers.
Already not getting the votes it should: IN YOUR FACE.
"Should I Stay Or Should I Go" = execrable.

Date: 2006-01-30 03:09 pm (UTC)"The Stonk" is one of 2 records I had to download for Popular which I've been unable to listen to all the way through. (The other is "Throw Those Guns Away", the AA side of the Dunblane charity rec)
Jesus Loves You = BOY GEORGE's then-new band! It is quite good! Bow down mister, hare hare Krishna.

Date: 2007-10-11 02:13 pm (UTC)I must be the only one who has a soft spot for this comedy tune. As far as I'm concerned, you can keep 'Because We Want To' and 'Ooh Stick You' (songs with high numbers of votes in later now polls) - they're just irritating, this is actually funny.
