It's not even that I overplayed it.

I’m with Julian in that it’s the equal of their other early 90s hits for me… but each to their own!

Yes I'm with the consensus here - for me KLF could do nor wrong and they had 5 classic unstoppable 10/10's in a row, epic, joyous, rousing and were act of the year, not even close. And then that was that pretty much The End. Going out on OTT top.

It's better than Justified and Ancient. 😁

Now I have to assume you are trolling us!!! 🤣

I know Justified and Ancient is a touch novelty, but I think it’s one of the most joyous songs and it never fails to make me smile

4 Michael Jackson - Black or White

This is so close to a 7.0 and some days it is. The video is a touch maximalist, which is probably the point. I do like that it's joyous and inclusive. The head morphing hasn't dated at all. 13th best seller of the year.

Colm's score 6.9

Edited August 17Aug 17 by Colm

Another one I bought. I really enjoyed the Dangerous album and this was a catchy enough lead single from it. I remember it feeling like such an event with loads of media coverage around the video.

I deliberately haven‘T checked what’s to come but so far I’d be

1 3am Eternal

2 Should I Stay Or Should I Go

3 Black Or White

Black And White was a great single to lead an album off, so that actually makes a change from Thriller and Bad. The video was fun, the late George Wendt aka Norm form Cheers, and young Macauley featuring. But the morphing was ripped off from Godley & Creme ex of 10cc - see Cry 1985, much lower budget available. It's among my faves of those so far, but not above KLF and a couple of others.

But the face morphing tech is on a different scale in Black and White. The idea was copied but I wouldn't discredit

it because it was so well done.

3 Extreme - More than Words

I didn't think this would be as high as 3 when I started this. It's rather lovely. I know it will have few fans around here, and most probably, some haters.

16th best seller of 1991

Colm's score 7.0

2 James - Sit Down

I've never really liked this song much until now. I still don't like the chorus. The verses are great in a sort of comforting, "we're all in this together" inclusivity way. The have, of course, many better songs and I particularly like their 1997 album Whiplash.

20th best seller of 1991.

Colm's score 7.3

1 Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me

I know there's little difference between this and the likes of Wind Beneath My Wings or You Raise Me Up. I just like it.

It would have been Christmas number 1 if Freddie Mercury hadn't died. Finished as 17th best seller of the year.

Colm's score 7.5

Hurrah! 1992 is coming.

I like the Extreme track, I went to see them in concert off the back of it and the follow-ups, and their Mandela concert performance, it's very sweet. Sit Down is an anthem, james were and are still great and have oodles of top records, but this is the show-stopper, so good it came back again later in the 90's. Diana in her heyday got the Cream of Motown's creative output, and has had an amazing career, but I wasnt quite as much a fan of her later stuff on EMI - though this is better than the cover with Westlife - though Ms. Ross is a huge fan of this track. I prefer the Tame Impala Minions song m'self!

My ranking for 1990:

1 It Must Have Been Love

2 A Little Time

3 U Can’t Touch This

4 Black Velvet

5 Dirty Cash

6 Don’t Worry

7 Get Up

8 Nessun Dorma

9 Turtle Power

10 Itsy Bitsy

That’s a brilliant top 5! “Nessun Dorma” is great in context but I’m not a fan of it as a standalone clip.

My ranking for 1991:

1 3AM Eternal

2 Sit Down

3 Should I Stay Or Should I Go

4 More Than Words

5 When You Tell Me That You Love Me

6 Black Or White

7 Get Ready For This

8 Sunshine On A Rainy Day

9 Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

10 Let’s Talk About Sex

1991 was definitely quite mid overall, but I’d rank them:

1 3AM Eternal

2 Black or White

3 More Than Words

4 Should I Stay Or Should I Go

5 Sit Down

6 When You Tell Me That You Love Me

7 Let’s Talk About Sex

8 Sunshine On a Rainy Day

9 Get Ready For This

10 Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

I really like the top 3 but wouldn’t choose to listen to any of the others really

My favourite is Clash and a last place for KLF.

Glad to see some appreciation for 'More Than Words'! It would be my favourite of the 1991 list, followed by 'Sit Down', 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' and '3AM Eternal', all of which I prefer to anything on the 1990 list.
