95. Scritti Politti: The 'Sweetest Girl'

PF500's explanation as to why it belongs is enough to sway the indie masses (ironic quotes, mentioning how Scritti Politti is a reference to Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci, noting links to rappers, reggae and electronica artists and tying them to leftist Robert Wyatt).

But if you just listen to it, it has an overly produced sound, it has too many needless vocal effects, a too slow ska piano beat (note to Scritti Politti: you are not the Clash), the verses repeat themselves for no apparent reason, and that damn annoying Scritti Politti voice.

Mostly it's just boring.

RATING: 35.
