'Sailing On the Seven Seas' is a good tune but its very retro Shakin' Stevens or 70s.

'Now That We've Found Love' is great one of the few hip house hits in America in the early 90s.

2 goodies, both 70's based - OMD totally nicking the Glam Rock Beat from Mr Unmentionable, and The O'Jays getting another cover hit without ever getting one themselves with Now That We've Found Love. Robbed! Still love the Third World cover though.

53 C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

Clivilles & Cole were one of the biggest dance producers in the very early 1990's. After their success with their music factory they remixed a lot of the biggest pop stars around at that time incl. Mariah Carey, Natalie Cole, Michael Jackson (Black & White), New Kids On The Block, Aretha Franklin (A Deeper Love) or Whitney Houston. Unfortunately, David Cole died on January 24, 1995 aged 32, which ended up their success story. "Gonna Make You Sweat" started their career in the pop word. I peaked at #3 in the UK in January 1991 and was their first of 7 UK Top 40 hits as C+C Music Factory. "Gonna Make You Sweat" has the classic hip-house ingredients including rap parts from Freedom Vocals, a very catchy female chorus sung by Weather Girl Martha Wash, who is uncredited on the release and a freestyle beat with a huge synth-bassline.

"Gonna Make You Sweat" can be considered as one of the biggest hip-house songs ever and is still very popular nowadays. I still like it a lot, but don't come back that often to it as it was a bit overplayed at certain times. Really wondering that David Guetta has not taken a version of this so far ;).

52 The Charlatans - Over Rising

The Charlatans are one of the biggest rock bands in the history of the UK with 22 Top 40 singles, four top 10 hits and 3 number one albums between 1990 and 2006. Their first album "Some Friendly" entered as #1 in October 1990. In the single charts "Over Rising" was their third succesful single after "The Only One I Know" (#9) and "Then" (#12) peaking at #15. "Over Rising" was a stand-alone release without being part of any album.

The Charlatans started as part of the guitar rave scene which fully landed in 1990. Later they were also a huge factor in the Brit-Pop community. I like their early stuff most - for me indie rock music had a big peak in 1990 with plenty of great bands and The Charlatans were one of my favourites. For more 1990-indie check-out mthe songs included on Buzzjack present 1990 (Disc 2) from song 8 upwards:

51 The KLF - Last Train To Trancecentral (Live From the Lost Continent)

The KLF were a British electronic music duo formed in 1987 by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty. They became one of the most successful and controversial acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s, blending dance music, sampling, performance art, satire, and media provocation.

Before becoming The KLF, Drummond and Cauty recorded as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMs), a name inspired by the cult science-fiction work The Illuminatus! Trilogy.

Their debut recordings relied heavily on unauthorized samples from other artists. One notorious release sampled songs by ABBA, leading to legal action and the withdrawal of the album from sale.

In 1988, under the name The Timelords, they achieved a UK No. 1 hit with the novelty single Doctorin' the Tardis. They later published The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), a humorous guide explaining how to create a chart-topping record.

Between 1990 and 1992, The KLF became one of the world's biggest-selling singles acts. Their music combined house, trance, pop, and ambient influences. "Last Train To Trancecentral" was their third top 10 hit in a row peaking at #2 in spring 1991 taken from their fantastic album "The White Room".

The KLF were one of my favourite acts during my adolescence. They combine music and art perfectly, produced the greatest Chill-Out album of all time and had one of the most infamous performances in British music history at the BRIT Awards 1992. Performing with Extreme Noise Terror, they played a metal version of "3 A.M. Eternal." At the end of the performance, Drummond fired blank rounds from a machine gun over the audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGNz0IW8vQw . Afterwards, they deleted their entire catalog from commercial sale and disappeared from the music industry at the height of their fame. In 1994, they carried out their most controversial act: burning £1 million in cash on the Scottish island of Jura. The event was filmed and later shown publicly. The pair spent years debating and discussing the meaning of the act, which remains one of the most famous and puzzling performance-art gestures in modern British culture.

After decades of relative silence, The KLF re-emerged publicly in 2017 with new artistic projects, books, and events. Much of their music, which had long been unavailable, gradually returned to streaming services beginning in 2021.

Thanks to the re-appearence of the KLF all songs from places 100-51 are available on Spotify, here is the playlist:

Great to see this KLF relevancy on the forum today with them appearing both here and in Gezza's thread!

'Last Train to Trancentral' is such a banger

I am determined to get a copy of The Manual one day even if not the cheapest thing to get hold of.
