poptimistsA new Now poll a day early thanks to the world cup mix-up, Now 20 takes us into the second half of 1991. Notable by its absence is Bryan Adams, whose 16 weeks at #1 was smack in this 'catchment area' and no doubt priced him right out of the compilers' reach. Still, why worry when you have Julian Lennon and Glass Tiger? Note MUCH FUN had by the compilers with track order, especially the U2/PSB segue.
Now 19 was won by a single vote for Massive over the KLF - the cock-up with radio buttons thankfully happened with one of the worst track sequences we've yet seen though if you want to think Innuendo wuz robbed, don't let me stop you. Lots of stuff to talk about on this one so let's get on with it shall we?
[Poll #664430]
NB: "Full length version"?? They can't actually mean that, can they?

The full length version is 8 minutes 33 seconds, if you're wondering.
I could YSI it (but won't), but I can't YSI anything else off the third batch cause there's a GIANT BIG HOLE in my Now database!
