I guess many of you will go for the 90s era, but we do have older members here, so I have widen the range a bit. :D Probably a topic was done last year along the same lines, as with many new members signing on each day, its time for another discussion.

 

Personally I go for the 80s era, New Romantics were dominating the charts back than, acts like The Police, Ultravox, Duran Duran, Kim Wilde :wub:

 

Chart wise was a bit slow, and picked up towards the end of the 80s period.

 

Its nearly 30 years in September I've been following the charts, my first chart I ever wrote down in a notebook was when The Police where #1 with Message In A Bottle.

 

Its changed a lot now with downloads added to it, I just hate all the old tracks that are still filtering the chart with hardly any new entries each week.

00s :wub:

Definitely 90s!

00s

90s. I started to write down the charts (from the radio first, so chart without all the positions sadly) in the end of the 80s. I can remember that Paula Abdul - Straight Up was my favourite at that time, although it was from 1988/1989. (I was 9-10 years old :o)

 

 

Still a fantastic track!

00s-as its the only decade I remember the whole of. I started listening in 1997 so I do have a soft spot for the 90s.

Definitely the 1990s for me. The pop was great and reached a golden era by the end of the decade (Steps, S Club 7, a zillion boy and girlbands, some better than others), you had Britpop with Oasis/Blur/Pulp/etc, the dance ranged from hardcore rave to melodic Eurodance to uplifting trance...it had everything.

 

And it was the decade I got into music as well, getting 'The Box' on cable was the most amazing thing ever!

the 00s

 

Every decade but i have to say 80's :o

The 80s for me.

God, thankfully I am not the only person to have been sad enough to write down the charts in a notebook, I used to use the spare pages int he back of old school text books, the ones that smelt of salmon and came in the really lary colours!!!! :lol:

 

I wrote down my first chart in 1999 I think, the year Ronan Keating was number one with his first record, I'd always followed the charts on Top Of The Pops, I always listened to The Pepsi Chart with Neil Fox back in the day, but I found that chart really slow and boring, I think I found Radio 1 a year later, in 2000.

 

I'd say my fave charts were more in the late 90's/early 00's so I don't know what to vote for!!!! Absolutley agree about the downloads, the chart has become so dead week in week out I have sadly now, after 10 years of religiously tuning in at 4pm, stopped listening to the chart and it makes me very sad and nostalgic

Well before the naughties is was 5 or less, so i suppose it'll have to be the 00's

90s!

I voted the 90s as it was my chart golden era.

 

I started to follow the charts in the late 80, I too used to write down the top 10 every week and tape the charts from the radio. From the mid 90s until about 2002 I would record the single and album chare number 1s.

90s :wub:

90s. Although my favourite year for music in 2000

00s
