1 DJ Jurgen Presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone --- Decent Dance track. Whatever happened to her?

2 Westlife - If I Let You Go - meh

3 Geri Halliwell - Mi Chico Latino - A guilty pleasure

4 Bran Van 3000 - Drinking In L.A. - Decent at the time, a bit outdated now

6 Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca - :puke2:

7 Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All - One of his better songs.

8 Will Smith featuring Dru Hill - Wild Wild West - Annoying

9 Eminem featuring Dr Dre - Guilty Conscience - :puke2:

10 Shaft - (Mucho Mambo) Sway - :puke2:

11 Five - If Ya Gettin' Down - so-so

12 TLC - Unpretty - Great song with a strong video and message. :)

14 Texas - Summer Son - Not their best

15 Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love - OK, but got annoying being overplayed.

16 Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? - :thumbup:

17 Phats & Small - Feel Good - Meh - and Ben still bangs on about that now.

18 ATB - 9pm (Till I Come) - Meh

19 Britney Spears - Sometimes - Decentish pop ballad.

20 Steps - Love's Got A Hold On My Heart - Nice enough

21 Moloko - Sing It Back - Again decent, but soon got fed up of it overplayed

25 The Vengaboys - Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! - Guilty pleasure track ;)

26 Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much - Another overplayed song.

27 Madonna - Beautiful Stranger - A very decent pop song. One of her best :)

29 Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love - Back when she was good ;)

30 Another Level featuring TQ - Summertime - :puke2:

31 Hepburn - Bugs - Who did Jamie Benson suck to get a solo contract ;)

32 The Divine Comedy - The Pop Singer's Fear Of The Pollen Count - funny eccentric song.

34 Doolally - Straight From The Heart - :cry:

35 Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills - :dance:

37 S Club 7 - Bring It All Back - Liked it back then, can't stand it now.

38 Fierce - So Long - What happened to these girls? They had good voices and songs.

 

1999 was the best year for music ever, it just had everything. Absolute classic dance tracks from Underworld, Yomanda, Binary Finary, ATB, Shaft, and the brilliant Alice Deejay, it so should have been number 1 on the official chart!

 

As a ten year old at the time also I liked the songs by S Club 7, Steps, Vengaboys, Shania Twain, Lou Bega, Destiny's Child, TLC, Ricky Martin, ...actually I still do but don't tell anyone :blush: They're nostalgic, that's my excuse!

 

Love this year so much for music, so many of my favourite songs are from it. The days before reality TV spoiled everything...

Awful chart -_-

 

only one's I remotely could listen to

 

14 Texas - Summer Son

16 Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

27 Madonna - Beautiful Stranger

39 Stereophonics - I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio

this demonstrates why i like to include recent charts in retro... billy clearly has the same passion for music that us older ones have and holds up 'his' era as 'the best' in the very same way we do for 'our' era.

 

of course it wasnt the best year ever, as there was little variety and not much original cutting edge music, however he is spot on about dance... 1999 was possibly the best year for dance as there WAS alot of original sounds around ....

I like:

 

1 DJ Jurgen Presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

2 Westlife - If I Let You Go - The only Westlife song I've ever liked!

3 Geri Halliwell - Mi Chico Latino

7 Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All

9 Eminem featuring Dr Dre - Guilty Conscience

12 TLC - Unpretty

13 Basement Jaxx - Rendez-Vu - A fantastic summery dance track

14 Texas - Summer Son - Strangely this song reminds me of Abba's Summer Night City, buT I love this track.

15 Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love

16 Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

18 ATB - 9pm (Till I Come)

21 Moloko - Sing It Back

23 Binary Finary - 1999

26 Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much

27 Madonna - Beautiful Stranger - One of Madonna's last great singles IMHO.

28 The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

29 Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love

35 Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills

36 Feeder - Yesterday Went Too Soon

39 Stereophonics - I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio

40 Underworld - King Of Snake

 

An all-time low in retro charts and almost certainly the worst ever period for pop music. There isn't a single song out of the 40 that I would like to listen to and even dependable acts like Chemical Brothers and The Divine Comedy had poor singles out.

i think it depends upon your age, as we have said before, the era when you get into music is more often then not considered ones best year ever... just look at xylem, citing y2k..

 

i never liked the mondays or the roses, not that im enamoured with the stereophonics or travis, i prefer dj jurgen anyday to s.express who i never could take too (though in retrospect they werent thatbad, worn well :) ) i cant abide jazzy jeff, the fresh prince OR will smith! :lol:

Heh heh, we must agree to differ yet again. I honestly hated the music around 1998 to 2000 though...the one great thing it did was make me delve back into the past instead and check out older acts like The Clash, Joy Division, Julian Cope and, well, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band for starters.

27 Madonna - Beautiful Stranger

28 The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

34 Doolally - Straight From The Heart

35 Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills

40 Underworld - King Of Snake

 

I keep forgetting 1999 was full of so much RUBBISH!

Edited by ScottyEm

In 1999 I got 'The Box' on cable and everything just changed for me forever, I had all the current songs in front of me for the first time and watched it religiously, ringing up and requesting all my faves. That was the very moment I first got into music.

 

I still remember the songs I taped off that channel:

 

Steps - Better Best Forgotten :blush:

Cartoons - Witch Doctor :blush: :blush:

Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now (actually it's still cool to like this, the video's still amazing)

Various Artists (including Steps) - Thank ABBA For The Music :blush: :blush: :blush:

 

Then in 2001 I watched a channel called 'VH1' for the first time and discovered the 1980s, but I'll never forget '99 as the year it all started for me!
