Now 11 (UK)

Voted Johnny Hates Jazz. Again.

Pet Shop Boys will probably win, even though I have never understood why that particular track was so great.

Two Men a Drum Machine and a Trumpet :
"I'm Tired of Getting Pushed Around"

u forget that this was *this* early on in the scheme of things. well i did at least.

but BEAT DIS anyway.

Giving the vote to my 15 yr old self: Sinead

hang on, where the fuck did my post just go?

CHRIST. that's annoying. there's a bug in here somewhere, i think.

anyway. what i said was that hurrah, i'd been waiting for this; that this was the only now tape i ever owned; that it is inextricably tied up with my 12-year-old self; that i listened to the, ahem, "house" side constantly before suddenly getting heavily into early OMD and beginning a glorious voyage backwards in time.

my vote is for "beat dis" because it was the best thing on there at the time, and i reckon it still is. that said: mozzer and the PSBs run it close.

Two Men a Drum Machine and a Trumpet

i can't remember what this sounded like. weren't they ex-living in a box, or something? or ex-FYC?

Something went wrong with the image link, but the cover looked like this:

Not actually ex-FYC at the time (She Drives Me Crazy came out a full year after the track on this comp) but yeah.

xpost

My vote is for Joyce Sims : "Come into My Life"

CHRIST. that's annoying. there's a bug in here somewhere, i think.

bug = the xpost notification appears below the question, and when there's a poll you don't notice it because it's off the bottom of the screen.

ah! that could well be it. either that or i'm a bell-end.

KRUSH, HOUSE ARREST!

I didn't buy this, but then I hardly needed to. This must have been at the height of my chart 7" single collecting as I bought all these singles from Woolworths:

Pet Shop Boys : "Always on My Mind"
Belinda Carlisle : "Heaven is a Place on Earth"
Morrissey : "Suedehead"
T'Pau : "Valentine"
Billy Idol : "Hot in the City"
Sinéad O'Connor : "Mandinka"
Vanessa Paradis : "Joe Le Taxi"

I wonder why I didn't buy any of the housey-housey stuff that's on there? I love it!

KRUSH, HOUSE ARREST!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

"mandinka" is so much better than "always on my mind"... wtf.

er: how come only one vote for "beat dis" when two of us said we were voting for it?

I DEMAND AN INQUIRY.

Krush : "House Arrest"
