June 1, 201411 yr Author I have been thinking about that. But I think I have some listening to do before I decide.
June 1, 201411 yr Hello Tony... I haven't got time right now to comment properly (going off to Edinburgh in about an hour, yay!) but I just wanted to echo others in saying that I've really enjoyed following this. I need to do a proper recap of the final couple of years but I'm really chuffed to see Out Of Control make it to #1 here, definitely one of my favourites from 1999. I was hoping to spot Sasha's Xpander towards the end of the year also - do you not rate it or did it just not make the chart lists for you to consider it?
June 1, 201411 yr Author I dont rate it - it's pleasant enough but it never blew me away like some of the other trance classics. I must re-listen to it though.
June 1, 201411 yr Excellent thread. I really only got into music in 1994 so it was great to hear songs that I'd never heard before. Loved some of the lesser known Manics songs.
June 4, 201411 yr I like all of those, Alex, except Womanizer. Which I really hate. You're welcome. I enjoyed doing it. Thanks for commenting, thanks also to Doctor Blind, Dandy*, SKOB, Sinner, Mattias and others who commented. It made it easier to carry on. I think I'll be doing a 00s one but I only have Musicweek scans up to the end of 2007 so I'm not sure how complete 2008 or 2009 would be. I'll probably forget lots of good stuff from those years Thanks for the rundown some great stuff in it. The Official Charts Company have old charts on their site, I think re 2008 2009. If not, I've prob got scans tucked away I could dig out, of the singles/albums charts (dont tend to save much else) when you get near those years.. cheers!
June 8, 201411 yr Author I did my Top 50 of the 90s a few years ago so I put those positions in brackets to show the change in my tastes Top 20 of the 1990s 1 (1) Manic Street Preachers - A Design for Life (1) 1996 2 (2) Radiohead - Street Spirit (1) 1996 3 (4) Tori Amos - Winter (1) 1992 4 (5) Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm (1) 1994 5 (8) Orbital - The Box (2) 1996 6 (10) Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (1) 1999 7 (12) Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (1) 1990 8 (3) Suede - Animal Nitrate (1) 1993 9 (13) U2 - The Fly (1) 1991 10 (11) Manic Street Preachers - Faster (1) 1994 11 (14) The Justified Ancients of Mumu - It's Grim Up North (1) 1991 12 (17) Oasis - Live Forever (1) 1994 13 (9) DJ Shadow - Stem (1) 1996 14 (7) The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work (1) 1997 15 (20) The Prodigy - Out of Space (1) 1992 16 (22) System F - Out of the Blue (2) 1999 17 (15) The Prodigy - Firestarter (1) 1996 18 (16) Bjork - Hyperballad (2) 1996 19 (6) Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day (1) 1992 20 (19) Tori Amos - China (1) 1992 Edited June 8, 201411 yr by AnthonyT
June 8, 201411 yr Author Just vocals and looks. This explains why our tastes are so opposite. The music is very important to me in a song. The vocals dont have to be amazing - It's Grim Up North and Firestarter get by on zero melody because of the great music in those songs.

June 8, 201411 yr Author That's not actually as many as it felt like as you were counting it down... a lot of our differences are probably down to me compiling mine at the time and being more pop orientated, there's a lot of your choices along the way that are better than my equivalent ones. That is still quite an overlap. I'd say it's probably the largest overlap that anyone on the site would have - perhaps maybe Doctor Blind may have had more. I'm quite surprised that Alex likes Every You. Every Me.
June 8, 201411 yr I'd say that if I was to retrospectively draw up a list of #1s for the 1990s I think we'd share a good number ! Tony - do you happen know where I could get a copy of the 1991 edit of The Source's "You Got The Love"? I have the Erens Bootleg Mix on a compilation CD which is fairly similar I think but doesn't have the vocal effects/chopping that occurs around the 3:20 mark.

June 8, 201411 yr I can send it to you If you could send it that would be amazing! I am putting together a compilation for a friend who was born in that year and they love all that type of dance music, hoping that they will make some great discoveries from it. Obviously "Winter In July" makes the cut. :D
June 10, 201411 yr I did my Top 50 of the 90s a few years ago so I put those positions in brackets to show the change in my tastes Top 20 of the 1990s 1 (1) Manic Street Preachers - A Design for Life (1) 1996 2 (2) Radiohead - Street Spirit (1) 1996 3 (4) Tori Amos - Winter (1) 1992 4 (5) Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm (1) 1994 5 (8) Orbital - The Box (2) 1996 6 (10) Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (1) 1999 7 (12) Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (1) 1990 8 (3) Suede - Animal Nitrate (1) 1993 9 (13) U2 - The Fly (1) 1991 10 (11) Manic Street Preachers - Faster (1) 1994 11 (14) The Justified Ancients of Mumu - It's Grim Up North (1) 1991 12 (17) Oasis - Live Forever (1) 1994 13 (9) DJ Shadow - Stem (1) 1996 14 (7) The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work (1) 1997 15 (20) The Prodigy - Out of Space (1) 1992 16 (22) System F - Out of the Blue (2) 1999 17 (15) The Prodigy - Firestarter (1) 1996 18 (16) Bjork - Hyperballad (2) 1996 19 (6) Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day (1) 1992 20 (19) Tori Amos - China (1) 1992 That's very stable. I would say my fave 20 of the 90s would change more than that as I discover new songs from before 94 and some others from later years that I missed out on. Especially American music that I didn't get to hear until years afterwards.
September 9, 201410 yr Author Tony's 2000s in the Personal Charts forum http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=169406
February 20, 20169 yr I'm considering turning this into a website, that's what I've done, go for it. I'm about half way through my 20th century charts, do concert reviews, and post new charts in it too, eventually I'll do 21st century charts up to where I started in 2011. I use wordpress and I'm fascinated by watching where in the world I get hits from - mostly UK, then USA comfortably 2nd, then it gets really surprising who checks in most: Germany/Poland/Russia/Canada/Australia/Denmark/Norway shuffle about and are just ahead of France/Spain/Italy/Singapore/Czech Republic. I love charts, any charts.. :lol:
