So, quite a volatile chart, there had been some major new entries from nowhere, and a general chart clear-out. A few classic oldies of the 60's 70's 80's: Irma, Abba, Sex Pistols, Smiths, Tom Jones. As long as it's quality stuff, very happy to have Abba next to Sex Pistols!

 

Top new track was East 17, but there's a avariety of great '92 tracks lower down, new & old. Let's try and forget that awful version of Baker Street though, I was swayed by my love for the original. Gerry rafferty's single version is the greatest record ever made. It's perfect in every way, start to finish, it couldnt be improved on. Best sax solo, best guitar solo, a work of pure genius.

 

Songs by Annie Lennox , U2, Boyz II Men I Like and also the Stereo Mcs were a great band.

Thanks Alex, yes Abba do feature often in my charts, even after they stopped existing! Madonna & Michael were greats of the 80's:)

cheers

where is prodigy's first album?!!??

 

Hi,

I don't do albums, just key tracks, and only half the year (1991) is done for the Top 100 of 1991. I liked Outa Space but the first Prodigy I loved to bits the moment I heard it was Firestarter. Prodigy tracks made my charts in those days, just not in the 2 examples here for 1992...:)

 

cheers :D
