In the greatest upset since Brighton's cup win at Anfield, rank outsiders Tho Jam have beaten all the odds to snatch a dramatic last minute triumph In this year's readers poll. The virtually unknown Woking-bred threesome are In lad no longer with us but there can be no doubt as to the Impression they have made on the nation's pop pickers. They have won not only top group - for the fourth year running. beating Led Zeppelin s record of three consecutive triumphs In the 70s - but also 12 other categories, twice as many as they took last year. Not even the Falklands war or the Greenham Common peace protest could impinge on their immovability and so our hearty commiserations, sonycongra-fulstions must once again go out to Messrs Weller, Foxton and Buckler. Beneath the Woking Wonders, however, things are nowhere near as settled as they have beerf for the past two years. II one ignores the votes cast for The Jam and looks instead al the runners-up spot in each category a more varifiett and shifting picture emerges: in this new hierarchy, Simple Minds have risen to number two band, Kid Creole And The Coconuts make second best live act and Elvis Costello Is runner up both as songwriter and male singer. 01 the old guard, The Clash have enjoyed their best poll position 104 years -they copped second best LP, third best band, songwriters and haircut - while Siouxsie has triumphed yet again in the female vocal stakes, narrowly beating a strong challenge by All of Yazoo and even a small threat by Boy George.
