Now That's What I Call Music 29 (UK)

Impossible.

Incredible

is in my Top 5. maybe.

There's so many great tunes there, but personally I have to go for the Erasure song. What an underrated synth pop gem!

But I might have to vote for "Gal Wine"

What a great year 1994 was!

Then only artists I can't remember at all are Ultimate KAOS and 2wo Third3. Who were they?

Actually, I got the idea to do polls for the US series after someone started doing the UK series here.

Anyway, "Trouble" is the obvious winner, end poll etc.

Ultimate Kaos were a black boy band, literally boys, who had a couple of minor hits here including this and 'Hoochie Bootie'

2wo Third3 were a trio of lads keen to peddle PSB-influenced synth-pop to young City boys. should've tried to be a bit more Blancmange than Heaven 17. the song is alright tho.

you should really write a book!

I bet you would love my brother's collection of early-to-mid-90s cassingles.

2wo third3 had the gimmick of having 2 gay guys out of the three, and You Had To Guess Who The Straight Guy Was!

no-one cared.

adam i would like to write a kids book.

'Sly' is my favourite song on this.

i don't think there's a single good song on this.

you don't even like 'True Faith' (i don't think the version on this is much different from the original at all assuming it's not that Oakenfoldy mix which got less than half the airplay at the time)?

actually i do like true faith (although not a great deal) i missed it when i skimmed the list. 7 seconds is good, i missed that too. midnight at the oasis is alright as well.

re: "true faith" - i think it's ok but wouldn't actually like to listen to it. i like Massive attack a lot but never liked "sly" and can't actually recall it now.

I like We Have All the Time In The World! and Incredible!

Whigfield ftw.

you need ears of southall to distinguish the "94" versions of those new order tracks. i can't tell the difference.

between 'sly' and 'incredible' for me. probably go with 'incredible'. surprised that no. 24 smash 'sly' is on there tbh. it could do without the pizzicato craig armstrong bidniz.

I went with True Faith, tho Confide In Me is great too.

like i say the Oakenfold mix is different enough - i think the version of 'True Faith' New Order were playing in their live shows from a couple of years back was based on it.

NO way, the strings are excellent

I want to poll the first 4 UK Now albums. None were ever better than those 4.

Voted Sparks btw. GREAT song!

the oakey mix is very different, yea, but the '94 version on the '?' elpee (which was also the a-side, i think) is practically the same as the '87 version.

the strings on 'sly' are about half-and-half for me. i especially don't like the string coda. i always want MA to be a *bit* rougher than they are.

"Stay" (obv.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

That Sparks song has one of the best lyrics I've ever heard in a pop song, but you'd expect that from them.

Not that it was particularly "pop" though, as in popular. Its highest UK chart position was number 32.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

blimey!

wtf? lurkers be pollin.

Poll threads are always foregone conclusions cos of the in-depth debate they attract.
