The History of Pop part 19 aka Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Ladies 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 is NOW 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!

I declare ALL of CD3 to be rub! K-TOP HEAVY.

Yeah, you built up CD1 a bit too much.

I concur.

Yeah, one of the very worst discs so far.
