June 16, 200916 yr I love 1991! Can't say this chart is of the best of 91, but some gems... Rob you're right, there is no underlying trend.

That is a poor chart
June 16, 200916 yr What a rubbish chart, these are the only ones I would listen to, and 3 are re-issues 7 REM - Shiny Happy People 8 Madonna - Holiday 10 The Doors - Light My Fire 13 Kylie Minogue - Shocked 18 Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over 19 Soft Cell featuring Marc Almond - Tainted Love 27 The KLF featuring The Children Of The Revolution - Last Train To Trancentral
June 17, 200916 yr So it's agreed we're all KLF fans! It really is a case of diamonds in the dirt on this. Another track on this list that didn't really set the Top 40 alight was Massive Attack "Safe From Harm". For me personally, this is an devastatingly brilliant track that will always be eclipsed by "Unfinished Sympathy". Shara Nelson has a wonderful voice.
June 18, 200916 yr I was 14 and pop music was my life! Remember this time very well and liked most of the chart (curmudgeonly indie snobbery hadn't hit me by then) I still like... 9 Salt-N-Pepa - Do You Want Me This was their comeback before becoming mega again with 'Let's Talk About Sex' - nice melody and some nice rhymes. 10 The Doors - Light My Fire Still not sure why this was re-released...the single version was incredibly short I recall. 12 Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) I only still like this because my mate hates it. Must admit it took ages and ages to grow on me. I heard it on Dance Energy's dance chart a few weeks before release and I thought it was awful. 13 Kylie Minogue - Shocked When Kylie's pop was at its best - slightly naff but not as embarrassing as what went before or as cringingly desperate as what came after. 17 LaTour - People Are Still Having Sex I have this little curio on 7" - it's aged really really badly but at the time I thought it was the future of dance music. 18 Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over The only song of his I've ever liked - totally arsed up by Mutya Buena's producers and destroyed by her terrible new vocal. 19 Soft Cell featuring Marc Almond - Tainted Love Again, not sure why this was ever re-released. 20 Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) Loved Cathy! 27 The KLF featuring The Children Of The Revolution - Last Train To Trancentral Where the Beatmasters took Drummond and Cauty even further into the world of pop - had a brilliant video of a toy car flying around a scale model village. 28 Rebel MC featuring Tenor Fly & Barrington Levy - Tribal Base Best track in this chart by miles - pre-dated ragga-rave / jungle etc by a good long way and the best use of Enya's 'Orinoco Flow' ever! 30 Massive Attack - Safe From Harm Back as '...Attack' with the Gulf war ringing in our ears like the percussion on previous hit 'Unfinished Sympathy'. This one didn't do so well, shame as it's quite possibly better. 35 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Sailing On The Seven Seas I probably shouldn't like this one, but I do. Andy McCluskey danced like a geography teacher on TOTP. 40 Kraftwerk - The Robots Great comeback from the techno godfathers.
June 18, 200916 yr I had just turned 20 ... I know & like: 2 Amy Grant - Baby Baby 4 Beverley Craven - Promise Me 10 The Doors - Light My Fire 12 Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) 13 Kylie Minogue - Shocked 14 Pet Shop Boys - Jealousy 15 Divinyls - I Touch Myself 18 Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over 19 Soft Cell featuring Marc Almond - Tainted Love - This new version just did not work for me with Marc Almond's technically perfect voice, spoil the memory and charm of the original. 20 Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) 24 Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison - Co written and produced by Johnny Marr, this is a great uptempo tune. Kirsty was a true great, who is sadly missed today; and it was criminal how she was not selected as one of the 12 Queens of British Pop programme. 26Iibcz2lE0 27 The KLF featuring The Children Of The Revolution - Last Train To Trancentral - The KLF (Drummond & Cauty) were so far ahead of the music scene it was unreal. They came, they saw, they conquered, then p!$$ed off. Legends! 0ak1OERLTwM 30 Massive Attack - Safe From Harm - Vocals by Shara Nelson. This Bristol trip-hop debut album Blue Lines was a classic, that remains so today. 1BHG-OupoME 31 Marillion - Cover My Eyes (Pain And Heaven) 33 Living Colour - Solace Of You 34 PM Dawn - A Watcher's Point Of View 35 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Sailing On The Seven Seas
