@peoples_pop Went for RUTH after some thought. In the end RUTH’s ability to reach out and connect with a completely new audience in a completely new context impresses me more than IFL’s ability to still evoke a vanished future (but both are v impressive)

@peoples_pop Two of the most extraordinary women artists in pop represented by their critic’s choices but hey, both these are great records and they aren’t entirely dissimilar in theme and it might even be… close??

@peoples_pop I genuinely prefer Groove here, a lucky dip of hooks and samples and moving parts, but I ran both semis on the same day cos I thought only one had a chance of being close :)

@braisedbywolves @peoples_pop That doesn’t really answer the point about irony - I think the fact GIITH allows for ironic listening is a sign of its breadth and strength as an invitation to joy: the party doesn’t ultimately care about your motivations

@actualeesimpson Groove is in the heart is a great song but groove is in the heart does not make me cry with its immeasurable beauty, which is the yardstick of great songs Imho

Time to rally for Deee-lite — it’s the People’s Pop Polls, not the People’s Generally Acclaimed Popular Music Polls* *this is not a coherent distinction but I still think “Groove Is in the Heart” should go through

@_jbradley @LokpoLokpo1 @peoples_pop I prefer ITG in most contexts but when I came to the songs on Popular I gave Groove 9 and Prayer 10 and I stand by that: it’s a rare example of a self conscious event single that nails what it’s aiming at, even if what it’s aiming at *is* a bit too big and corny
