Posted March 28, 200817 yr I'm just watching 'Flava' which is the R&B/Garage channel that has replaced B4 and they are doing an hour of UK garage...at the moment they are playing Rosie Gaines' Closer Than Close. Was she not from America? Anyway I was trying to compile a list of all garage hits that have reached the UK top 20...so feel free to add to the list Mis-Teeq-Why/All I Want Shanks & Bigfoot/Doolally-Sweet Like Chocolate/Sing a long/Straight From The Heart Oxide & Neutrino-No Good 4 Me/Bound 4 Da Reload So Solid Crew-21 Seconds/They Don't Know H 'Two' O feat Platnum-What's It Gonna Be MJ Cole-Sincere/Crazy Love T2-Heartbroken DJ Pied Piper-Do You Really Like It? Ladies First-I Can't Wait Artful Dodger-Rewind/Woman Trouble DJ Luck & MC Neat-Little Bit Of Luck I know a lot of these artists had other singles but I'm not sure for example you could call 'Scandalous' by Mis-Teeq garage...
March 28, 200817 yr I know a lot of these artists had other singles but I'm not sure for example you could call 'Scandalous' by Mis-Teeq garage... No i don't think so :blink: Deliquent- My Destiny
March 28, 200817 yr some hits, some less big Mis-Teeq - Why Double 99 - Ripgroove Monsta Boy - Sorry Scott & Leon - You Used To Hold Me Shola Ama - Imagine Kristine Blonde - Loveshy Nu-Birth - Anytime Tina Moore - Never Let You Go Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers Amira - My Desire Top T & Danny C - Magic Wideboys - Sambuca 187 Lockdown - Kung Fu Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar B15 Project - Girls Like Us MJ Cole - Sincere Sticky - Boo Nenneh Cherry vs Dreem Team - Buddy X '99 Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This Architechs - Show Me The Money Lonyo - Summer Of Love Tru Faith - Freak Like Me NRG - Right Before My Eyes Truesteppers - Buggin' Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy 2000 Ed Case - Something In Your Eyes DJ Dee Kline - I Don't Smoke Wookie - Down On Me Flickman - Sound Of Bamboo
March 30, 200817 yr some hits, some less big Mis-Teeq - Why Double 99 - Ripgroove Kristine Blonde - Loveshy Nu-Birth - Anytime Amira - My Desire 187 Lockdown - Kung Fu Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar MJ Cole - Sincere Sticky - Boo Nenneh Cherry vs Dreem Team - Buddy X '99 NRG - Right Before My Eyes Ed Case - Something In Your Eyes Marvelous tracks on that list, when the UK garage first emeged in 1997/98, to me that was the best era for UK garage (before it was known as 2-step, than bassline or whatever). Kristine Blone - Loveshy is a wicked track! The Tuff Jam mix of that is belter (just avoid all the other mixes, they are terrible). MJ Cole 'Sincere' is another timely classic and still sounds like nothing else and the Armand Van Helden mix of 'Spin Spin Sugar' is.... Another one to add would be Wookie 'Battle', in similar vain to MJ Cole's 'Sincere' and was a top ten hit if I remember rightly. Also, not as big but equally as good, Jill Scott 'Gettin' In The Way (MJ Cole Mix)'.
March 30, 200817 yr Oh yeah, I was meant to put that Wookie track, dunno why I went with another one For me the garage years were 97-00. Early 01 was still good with stuff like "Think About Me" and "Sambuca", but it went downhill fast after So Solid Crew released 21 seconds and everything went grimey
March 30, 200817 yr Author some hits, some less big Scott & Leon - You Used To Hold Me Kristine Blonde - Loveshy NRG - Right Before My Eyes DJ Dee Kline - I Don't Smoke Forgot about those ones...all great tracks
March 30, 200817 yr I think we will be adding Wideboys and Shaznay Lewis to this list pretty soon :heart:
April 1, 200817 yr But i think the revival might run out of control and run out of steam by next year
April 14, 200817 yr Yeah. It'll burn out before the summer is over, I'm sure it'll be back under a new guise in 2015... Edited April 14, 200817 yr by ScottyEm

April 15, 200817 yr Author I wrote down the chart every week from June 1999-November 2004 and have a photographic memory for chart peaks between those times :heehee:
April 15, 200817 yr Jesus christ that was a shocking top twenty! Only Moloko, All Saints and - of course - N+G I rate on that list!
April 18, 200817 yr Author M2M, N+G and Precious should have been in the top ten in place of the dreadul Madonna and Geri Halliwell songs and ATB's worst single
April 18, 200817 yr i love Killer, the UK version. Perhaps Blink 182 out of the top10 too. I'd have put Savage Garden in the top10 rather than N+G though
