Ladies and gentlemen....the 1990s ILX SINGLES POLL RESULTS

common informed scrubs done changed for the sexier

now THAT'S a mash-up

actually, after all this, I think I'd rather not know what's #1. let's all go home.

yeah no need to belabor the last one...

just post it already

Kinda weird that cannonball got ZERO first place votes ...

Gear has left the building

after him!

Melissa, exactly how young *are* you?

Maybe people felt Common People was sell-out Pulp, and wanted to vote for the 'real' Pulp.

"Groove Is in the Heart" really is a fantastic record, no?

I'm 21.

#1 Boredoms - Super Going

Seriously though, how did this not even make the list?

Hiya Di!

Maybe it was a US only thing?

It was on my list, but only at the end, then it got bumped for something.

never heard 'Super Going'

i don't care about The Boredoms at all
i'm sure it'll earn me enemies to say, but noise is way overrated

#1

PULP - "Common People" (1387 points, 61 votes, 5 first place votes)

This canon is balls.

the english "pretty fly for a white guy"

well at least we know it's anything but common

607 points between #3 and #1, which alone would place a song in the top ten.

I can't believe people thought Everlong was going to make the poll.

perfect marriage of indie and pop values - and together those two styles will always be more popular among savvy and largely white audience/readership than hiphop, rave etc.

i'll try to finish assembling these tonight when i get home and be sharing on slsk in case anyone's interested.

thanks Gear! it's been fun

Yeah - you've been great, Gear!

the english "pretty fly for a white guy"

This is a bit harsh on America.

ALBUMS!

well that was my #1 so I can't complain.

looking forward to seeing the full list, as in every track that got a vote - to see where 'Everlong' and 'Chime' and everything else placed

Yeah, Thanks Gear. I'm surprised - no Vanilla Ice, no Kylie, no Right Said Fred, no Snap - lots of oddness.

I think only 5 songs I voted for made it in

78 first place votes accounted for in the results. how many ballots were there?

19 of mine made it, so I can't really complain, but neither of my nominations did.

i was pretty confident my number one album (OKC) would place highly, but really I had no idea Common People had such across-the-board appeal on ILM. Makes sense I guess.

obv. the album poll hasn't been released, but I'm sure OKC will be up there is what I mean

my first place vote didn't make it.
but 21 of my 30 did

and one of my noms made the list (Being Boring at #33) and one didn't (Autobiography)

there were about 50 #1 votes that didn't show up because they placed outside the top 100. somewhere between 120-130 ballots total.

thank you, Gear! Good work. And just in time too! (I wuz just clocking off)

I think this is a pretty great chart. Lots I've never heard tho', including (AFAIK) that Geto Boys song.

Yeah, I'm happy w/it in the end. Good work, Gear!

That's good of john to explain it to Melissa!

Gear you good you guy you go, guy, go!

if anything warren g. was bigger in europe than in the states (maybe just the continent though, i know thatcherandblairland has anti-dancing statutes on the books and a brave < /hongro > refusal to truck with no hip-hop).

Gear, thanks for the work, even though I'm disappointed with the results.
(you didn't use the voting machines from Ohio, by any chance?)

when i was 7 i was well aware of what were the popular songs of the time - but i was in britain and my parents weren't draconian. not that i'm suggesting melissa's were or owt, jsl.

what if captain kirk hadnt make remix of "common people"? would you still have remembered it?....still cool chart. apart from the moron dull indie rockers now and then. :)
