My sincere apologies to Mousse T. who missed out on his rightful credit in the worst poll.

Only two big favourites here - Hey Boy, Hey Girl and It's My Life - but just about enough voteworthy ones to join them - went with Gangsta Trippin', When You're Gone, Bye Bye Bye, Say My Name and A Song for The Lovers.

Celine and R Kelly an easy lowlight, but I did throw Eiffel 65 one for being an almost offensively lazy follow up.

Hey Boy Hey Girl was the only one I voted for.

Celine Dion/R Kelly, A1 and Boyzone for the worst.

Despite feeling like quite a hit and miss session I voted for quite a lot in the best in the end. Fatboy Slim, Stereophonics, Bryan Adams/Mel C, Chemical Brothers, Santana, Richard Ashcroft & Bon Jovi.

Just Celine Dion/R Kelly for the worst. Nearly added Boyzone and A1, but that one felt a cut above the others in the lowlight stakes.

that a very bipolar week, some greats (When You're Gone, Drinking in LA, Hey Boy Hey Girl, Shania)
but then all these terrible boybands :/

just went for my chart-toppers, that's Bryan/Mel C, Santana, Bran van.

Tom is in the wrong section, as I've said before, great cheesy pop record which seems to offend cos he wasnt 30 years old, unless it's the not exactly subtle lyrics? Tom was 59. Kylie is 55 and happily Padam Padam-ing in the charts, and with a complete stranger, gasp, shocker! "What an old s*ag!"

Power to the old people, I say!

To be clear I don’t find Sex Bomb offensive - just very cringeworthy.

Posted by: jimwatts 20th May 2024, 11:47 AM

Best: Fatboy Slim, Stereophonics, Bryan Adams / Mel C, The Chemical Brothers and R.E.M.
Agreeing with the majority of voters for worst.

Like: Bryan & Mel C / Destiny's Child / Whitney / Shania / Santana

Dislike: Celine & Predator

I like more in the best list but will limit it down to the following..

Voted for Fatboy Slim, Bryan and Mel, Chemical Brothers and Shania.

and for worst I don't hate much here. A1 track I didn't always mind but not surprised to see lumped in worst I guess lol. I'm also ignoring the obvious with 'I'm Your Angel' but I do find it as a song very nice and well sung. Denise and Johnny get my vote!

Posted by: chartjack2 20th May 2024, 09:30 PM

Smooth was my favourite, but voted for half a dozen.

I’m Your Angel, even on musical (de)merit, is a clear loser here.

Posted by: Last Dreamer 25th May 2024, 06:43 PM

Best: Denise and Johnny - Especially For You
Worst : Fatboy Slim - Gangster Trippin
