September 24, 200816 yr thanks for a really interesting musical journey! There are as many that I dislike as there are ones I truly love - but the beauty of your weekly chart is that it's always varied, eye-opening and pretty ahead of its time... I know I for one have discovered many great new musical treats from reading your weekly charts. Great stuff!
October 8, 200816 yr Quite simply one of the best threads of all time! We did personal charts when I was at school, though we ended up having the most bizarre number ones by entirely made-up artists, singing re-worked versions of popular hits of the time... such as top 1980s band 'The Masochist Band' with such top hits as 'Beat Me Up Before You Go Go', 'Agony' (Agadoo) and 'King of Pain' (The Police). We even pre-empted the 2000s trend of entering high and falling quickly, as we soon got bored of songs when we were 11. :P Ha ha, you're a year older than me (I started secondary school in 1984!) and I thought I was the oldest person on this forum! :dance: The old personal charts thing is a good game, I revived it for a while when I was presenting on hospital radio. But this is an absolute work of art that I couldn't possibly hope to equal. I did charts between 84 and 88 (school), 99 to 2006 (hospital radio weekly chart, entirely made up by me) but to keep it all going for twenty five years continuously, absolute genius! PS: If you were 12 in 1984, you should remember who the original Kit Curran was... :lol:
October 8, 200816 yr 12 Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face Aug84 - 1 Wk One of the best songs of all time. I never got it to number one on our chart when we were 11 though (there were three of us arguing over the positions every bloody Tuesday, ha ha ha. Oh yeah, charts on a Tuesday... the kids of today don't know what they missed!)
October 8, 200816 yr Author PS: If you were 12 in 1984, you should remember who the original Kit Curran was... :lol: Yes I do, he was not as good as Smashey & Nicey or Alan Partridge IMHO though. :lol: Still the writters Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin did go on to create the wonderful Drop The Dead Donkey.....
October 8, 200816 yr 264 Dubstar - No More Talk Jul97 - 2 Wks KtBftTHouB0 CHOOOON! What a glorious summer that was, endless days of hot sunny weather, the odd crunching thunderstorm to break it all up, then more sun sun sun... the Tories were out of Downing Street, I went to college for a year and had the time of my life, and delicious music such as this was filling the airwaves... Between there and here... where did it all go wrong?! :(
June 2, 200916 yr 9 David Sylvian - Red Guitar Jun84 - 2 Wks Nice :wub: My BF runs www.nightporter.co.uk which is the biggest fansite of Japan, Sylvian's original band, along with solo members works. He's introudced me to their fabulous music (although I must admit that apart from this song, I don't like Sylvian solo so much). Anyway, my BF had a party in London for fans last year, and he's still doing it this year! Do you still listen to Sylvian at all?
