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 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.
