I even bought her album!! It wasn't that bad and she had a gorgeous ballad called "Close to you". Other songs from when I was younger: Whitney Houston - "I Will Always Love You" Shakespere's Sister - "Stay" Plus, this might be bizzare for a ten year old but I LOVED "No More I Love You's" by Annie Lennox. I was always upset every Sunday that she didn't beat Celine Dion off the top as it was #2 for a few weeks. My Dad even bought me the CD "Medusa" which I used to play a lot!! Shanice - "I Love Your Smile" My Dad played a lot of Meatloaf, Queen, Guns N Roses, Poison and all the big rock bands of the time, so this rubbed off and I am a fan of all those mentioned. I was even upset when Freddie died although I was around 7 then. I remember my Dad treating it like a member of the family died! By the time I was leaving primary school coming into secondary, I was mad on Gina G's "Ooh Ahh Just A Little Bit" and developed into the Spice Girls craze!

Under Group: Chart Mod Posts: 13,653 Member No.: 10,347 Joined: 31-December 09 No Gallery Pics	Interesting topic I got into music in 1988 - this was when my sister used to listen to the top 40 on Radio 1 nearly every Sunday and I quickly became interested in chart hits (ie; aged 7 and wanting 'Got To Be Certain' by Kylie to be #1 and being gutted when Wet Wet Wet were announced as #1 instead - don't you just love youth naivety ). My all times faves from throughout the 90s: 1990 = Bombalurina feat. Timmy Malette - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini As a kid, Timmy Malette was my TV hero Yes, this song is utter garbage but when it's your fave TV personality singing a track on Top Of The Pops it really doesn't get better than that ) 1991 = The Simpsons - Do The Bartman First song I bought on cassette single - still love watching the video to this. The Simpsons at their ultimate best. Just a shame they've insisted on flogging the cartoon over the last 10 years as each new episode I've seen has been severely lacking in humour. Oh, the shame!!! ). 1992 = Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer The song that defined the summer of 1992, and the track that had just spent six weeks at no. 1 when I started secondary school in the September. All my mates loved this song - if you didn't like this track, you weren't cool. That's how important this song was for 11 year olds in Greater Manchester. 1993 = 2 Unlimited - No Limit You may laugh but this really was another of those defining musical moments of Eurodance. Probably the most famous Eurodance song of the 90s. Once again, another track all my mates thought was genius at the time. I ended up buying this on casette single too. 1994 = MC Sar & The Real McCoy - Another Night I started writing up my own personal chart in the summer of 1994 and 'Another Night' took my chart by storm. I bought the track on the week of its release (it entered the UK chart at #17) and I concluded that it would drop down the chart after. Regardless, the track entered my chart at #4 and climbed to no. 1 the following week (the same week the track climbed 17-07 in the UK). 'Another Night' spent seven weeks at no. 1 for me and even though I never did an end of year chart, I'm sure this would've been high up. My personal chart #1s of 1994 (dates are guesses but the order is correct): 11-06-94 = The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance) (5 wks @ #1) 16-07-94 = Aswad - Shine (3 wks @ #1) 06-08-94 = Sonic Surfers - Don't Give It Up (4 wks @ #1) 03-09-94 = Kylie Minogue - Confide In Me (1 wk @ #1) 10-09-94 = Whigfield - Saturday Night (4 wks @ #1) 08-10-94 = Bon Jovi - Always (2 wks @ #1) 22-10-94 = Pato Banton - Baby Come Back (2 wks @ #1) 05-11-94 = MC Sar & The Real McCoy - Another Night (7 wks @ #1) 24-12-94 = Oasis - Whatever (1 wk @ #1) 31-12-94 = Zig & Zag - Them Girls, Them Girls (1 wk @ #1) 1995 = Take That - Back For Good Following on from their most cringe worthy/embarrassing UK chart topper in the shape of 'Sure' ( ), Take That returned six months later with...a song. An actual song with melody, decent lyrics and a anthemic chorus. This is what pop music is all about. I still regard this as Take That's most "classic" song in the sense that it's stood the test of time. Whether more recent hits like 'Patience', 'Rule The World' and 'The Flood' are as fondly remembered sixteen years after release is left to be seen. 1996 = Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 Probably the only year throughout the 90s where I didn't really bother with the UK charts. I still watched MTV quite a lot but this was the year I discovered Nickelodeon. Hence I spent more of my free time watching such classic shows as Clarissa Explains It All, Sister Sister and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? rather than checking out the latest music videos on MTV Europe. Anyways, one of my fave singles from 1996 came from the world dominating Spice Girls. '2 Become 1' was an excellent slice of pop balladry and to this day has always remained as fave Spice Girls song (not like there's much competition but still ). 1997 = Eternal feat. Bebe Winans - I Wanna Be The Only One Easily my fave track of 1997. I saw this on The Chart Show and thought it was excellent. Upon its release, I bought this on CD single from Woolworths. Their chart had it at #4 so I wasn't expecting it do well but hoped it'd be #1. That weekend I went on holiday and only found out on the Monday morning that Eternal had indeed topped the UK chart. There was a moment of celebration in my chalet. 1998 = Cher - Believe This song came from out of nowhere to become a global smash hit. The first time I heard this when when Cher appeared on The Des O' Connor Show (I think it was ). I thought the track was surprisingly good and not what I'd have expected to hear from Cher. 1999 = Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much Well it was all about the leapard skin suit, right? I thought 1999 was a real mixed bag for #1 singles - some excellent tracks but also some woeful crap hitting the top spot. This track failed to top the UK chart but managed to become one of 1999's most consistant selling singles. 'That Don't Impress Me Much' ended up as the 8th biggest selling single of 1999 and rightly so - thus proving that chart positions are often meaningless if it isn't backed up with strong sales and lonevity.

You continue to surprise me. It's beautiful. I would play the cassette of it in my mom's car literally almost every day before pre-school. I'd just play Sunny Came Home and then rewind. I was so obsessed. Was it a hit in the UK? I also loved this:

I'm sure Madonna lovers will hate this - I loved it (still do). (Adding fuel to the fire by saying this was a #1 hit in the Netherlands while Madonna's original stalled at #2). I was in love with the video for the song as well. Crazily obsessed with this song at the time - I don't even want to know how many times I played the single. Other favorite songs when I was younger were - Kate Ryan - Désenchantée - PPK - Resurrection - Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses at Night and probably more standouts I'm forgetting.

let there be no light... Group: Members Posts: 9,773 Member No.: 11,746 Joined: 30-August 10 No Gallery Pics	I remember liking this (below) when I was really young. Especially Steps, S Club 7 and Busted more Steps than anything else, I remember watching their videos a lot (back before video tapes didn't EXIST and everything was DVD) I also remember getting Busted's last live concert on DVD before they split The Cheeky Girls Fast Food Rockers Steps S Club 7 Girls Aloud Cha Cha Slide Crazy Frog Busted Shocking taste I know... Then I grew up into anything my mum would put on in the car, then dance compilations and chart music - now I'm a bigger fan of chart/dance music This post has been edited by *xmasG*: Jan 5 2012, 04:25 PM

I was a wizard once Group: Members Posts: 16,148 Member No.: 9,232 Joined: 11-July 09 No Gallery Pics	it was 1999 when I was 7 when I first got into music, I think my two first 'favourite' songs were Eiffel 65's Blue Da Ba Dee and Lou Bega's Mambo No.5 (and the Bob The Builder cover ), I could also play Livin' La Vida Loca on my keyboard so yeah, I guess my tastes have developed since then This post has been edited by C.W: Jan 5 2012, 04:50 PM

I'm in a glass cage of emotion! Group: Moderator Posts: 9,725 Member No.: 10,596 Joined: 6-February 10 User's Gallery	I remember as a small kid the only albums my mum played in the car were "Different Class" and "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". I loved all of the latter and knew pretty much every word, she used to skip the slightly creepier Pulp tracks but I loved "Disco 2000" - that was my first proper favourite song. I also remember listening to U2, Queen and Bruce Springsteen before my uncle got me into The Smiths and Green Day when I was about 10 or 11.

Actually come to think about it all four songs I mentioned are non-originals The early 2000s really were the years of cheap dance covers but they're also the years of my youth (at least when I got into music) and so all of these covers mean more to me than the originals.
