March 9, 20214 yr Author I'm starting to get embarrassed by my consistency here when the runners up are acts like Bowie, Madness, Police, John Lennon, Human League, ELO for 1980 and 1981, but hey, no more Abba after 1981... :D 1980: Abba 1981: Abba 1982: ABC 1983: Culture Club 1984: Prince 1985: Kate Bush 1986: Pet Shop Boys 1987: Pet Shop Boys (by a whisker over M. Jackson & G. Michael) 1988: Pet Shop Boys 1989: Pet Shop Boys (via a single, and 2 singles for Dusty & an album for Liza) by a whisker over Madonna Theme developing already, what can I say... :lol:
March 9, 20214 yr Trying again to go with artists who had more than one hit single in each year 2000 - Sonique 2001 - Kosheen (Fragma in second place) 2002 - Lasgo - struggled to pick an artist for this year but Something and Alone are very good songs and the sort of eurodance sound they were part of dominated dance music generally in 2002. 2003 - Jurgen Vries/DT8 Project (same artist) (struggled to pick a winner for this year) The Darkness and Evanescence in a close second and third place 2004 - Anastacia (Left Outside Alone and Sick and Tired are two of her best songs imo) 2005 - Gorillaz 2006 - Rihanna (SOS followed by Unfaithful) 2007 - Robyn (With Every Heartbeat - Be Mine is such a great duo of singles) 2008 - Kings of Leon (at the time their 2008 era was great so still included them but the two main singles did get overplayed) 2009 - Calvin Harris Edited March 9, 20214 yr by TheSnake
March 10, 20214 yr This is tough in some years but I'll start with the 90s as I'm most familiar with those... 1990 Depeche Mode (the Violator album remains an all time classic for me) 1991 The KLF (Erasure close behind) 1992 The Shamen (Shakespears Sister & Tori Amos also pretty much equal) 1993 Suede 1994 Prodigy 1995 Pulp (Oasis close behind) 1996 Alanis Morissette 1997 Radiohead 1998 Massive Attack (Madonna very close behind) 1999 The Chemical Brothers Very interesting choices. I couldn't disagree with any of them apart from Oasis. I had completely for got about Erasure in 1991. My main debate was between REM and KLF (it was a very acronymic year with OMD coming back and EMF releasing singles too :P ) Shakespears Sister had one of the best triads of singles in the whole decade with Stay/I Don't Care/Hello. But no one could match the singles off Little Earthquakes, for me. 1998 was such a great year for albums - Six, Mezzanine, Choirgirl all fighting for the title.

I would argue Sash! would be a good potential choice for 1997.
