October 9, 200915 yr Author New Entries 09 -- Chocolate Box - BROS Now I could understand why Bros originally made it big but this is truly woeful jTTHx3v5nqM 12 -- Street Tuff - DOUBLE TROUBLE & REBEL MC Funnily enough, I don't mind this. Not a great track but passable disposable pop ifrPV2J_LYo 27 -- I Can't Forget You - SONIA More SAW pap from a truly horrible artist ZOWu8G5Fyc4 28 -- Leave A Light On - BELINDA CARLISLE I like a lot of Belinda's tracks but this is not one of her best k_Jbf1GQf24 32 -- Love On A Mountain Top - SINITTA Good Grief! Terrible Europop-style trash ruc3iGH4oas 34 -- Kennedy - WEDDING PRESENT Indie disco classic. I've rucked on a dancefloor to this many a time. Love it, Love it, love it! gcn0dQWRshE 40 -- Wishing On A Star - FRESH 4 g_UVbCopg-Q 45 -- I Feel For You - CHAKA KHAN Re-issue for 1985 #1 2RyGaupwC5A 46 -- Don't Drop Bombs - LIZA MINELLI I never liked any of her stuff, Pet Shop Boys involvement or not 9VhJg4DoLb8 47 -- Bed Of Nails - ALICE COOPER More overblown rock from Mr Furnier. LeqdXATmWTY 52 -- I Want That Man - DEBORAH HARRY I really liked this at the time but it hasn't dated that well 7wePNZEL9-g 55 -- Lovestrain - KYM MAZELLE Didn't do it for me at all. Know probably best known for being on Celebrity Fat Club pxxEZ9PMag8 65 -- Oxygene IV - JEAN-MICHEL JARRE No idea why this was rereleased but supposedly highly influential. Always thought it was bland muzak myself QqScKy3eMfw 67 -- This Love Affair - STEFAN DENNIS Never realised he actually had a follow up single. Truly dire song from the Neighbours stalwart Qoxq2G3Fkak 68 -- Someday - FM Forgettable AOR DW57Tvhjnyc 69 -- Wanted - HALO JAMES I remember this guy being hyped at the time but he obviously didn't have the songs to follow it up as this is dire lONGbNhXiKk 73 -- Armageddon Days Are Here (Again) - THE THE Great track with lyrics that are still relevent today lel0PzhU6Pk

Can't say it's a particularly exciting batch of new entries this week. I do have the Ian Mcculloch album but I probably only listened to it once or twice so it obviously didn't set me on fire with enthusiasm.
October 10, 200915 yr the old women were the best...chaka and debbie... (imho) sinittas track was a cover from 74, robert knight, who had the original of 'everlasting love'.
October 12, 200915 yr Not a vintage run of new entries there, though I do like the Fresh 4 track. Very "of the time" and still sounds gorgeous 20 years on. And poor Sonia! Edited October 12, 200915 yr by ScottyEm

October 15, 200915 yr Author Albums 14/10/89 Yet another album debuts at #1, this time the old folkie Tracey Chapman following up her mega selling first self titled effort. A fine album from The Wonder Stuff showing quite a folky side to the Four Legged Groove Machine at times. Just outside the Top 30 was the Jesus Jones debut album which I thoroughly loved at the time extending what PWEI were up to at the time and laying some of the groundwork for the T-Shirt bands of the early 90s like Carter USM et al. 01 NE Tracy Chapman - Crossroads 02 02 Tina Turner - Foreign Affair 03 01 Tears For Fears - The Seeds Of Love 04 03 Gloria Estefan - Cuts Both Ways 05 NE The Wonder Stuff - Hup 06 NE Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy 07 05 Madonna - Like A Prayer 08 04 Eurythmics - We Too Are One 09 14 London Boys - The Twelve Commandments Of Dance 10 10 Jason Donovan - Ten Good Reasons 15 NE Sugarcubes - Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week 16 NE Jean Michel Jarre - Jarre Live 32 NE Jesus Jones - Liquidizer 34 NE FM - Tough It Out 58 NE Joe Strummer - Earthquake Weather Edited October 15, 200915 yr by grebo69
October 26, 200915 yr Author Does anyone want to take this thread over because I know I will not be able to do this justice in the immediate future. I don't just want to leave it hanging though so I hope someone can take it over.
