As the year comes to a close, inevitably music magazines start making various lists of the top everything of that particular year. Yet, special cases call for special polls. As 2009 comes to a close, the end of a decade where we saw tragedy and, well, more tragedy and lots of stupidity, will also wrap up. 10 years which saw me turn from an immature 11-year-old to an immature 20-year-old. A lot has changed!
Anyway, I thought I would put together a bit of a different poll to start our round-up of the decade. The next three polls (eventually ending on new years eve) will also ask various questions about the decade that was. One-Hit Wonders are always the accepted term in music when talking about artists who had the hint of fire in their minds but over-exerted on the first song and then triumphantly fell off the face of the Earth. There are a lot of them. You know their songs, and since you lived in this decade you probably know who sang them, but, if I ask you in 50 years I doubt you will know. For example, “Ballroom Blitz.” Exactly. (It’s The Sweet by the way). Vote for who you think takes the cake to the record company, eats it all, and then cannot afford more cake. That was a miserable representation.
