  1. Hello! IT'S TIME TO TRIP HOP AND CHILL! It's time for the next edition of the retro forum song contest and for the seventh edition we are visiting the world of Trip-hop and Chillout for the 90s! The dictionary definition of Trip hop is: a style of dance music, usually slow in tempo, that combines elements of hip-hop and dub reggae with softer, more ambient sounds. To make things a bit easier, Chillout (which can be similar) is included. Think acts like Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack for Trip hop and look up a plethora of 90s chillout compilations for the style and inspiration if needed. The entry you choose MUST have been released by a suitable act between the 1 January 1990 and 31 December 1999. As always, top 10 hits will not be allowed. And please do try to submit something you suspect may be a discovery for most people rather that slightly skirt the rules by sending a big #11 hit etc - the mods will look at the list and anything that doesn't feel within the spirit of the contest will be vetoed. Although we will try not to be super strict as we know that finding songs from before some of you were even born is not always easy! Please submit your entries to me by PM and include: Your username: Artist: Song Title: Link: You have a week and a day to confirm, the deadline will be 23:59 on SUNDAY 13th OCTOBER 2024. The voting thread will then be up after this. Thanks all!
  2. I read at the time Robbie was close to number 1, certainly it was expected he would get there.
  3. ALL MY LOVE is real Coldplay to me. Loving it! Overall, the album is an average Coldplay one.
  4. I was on holiday this week and I played Trash to death on my portable CD player. Still a brilliant song. Good Enough is MORE than good enough for me - a sunny classic! I thought Robbie and the Spice Girls were close, but not 2k close :o It was a huge shock at the time that Robbie didn't go in at number 1.
  5. I never know Tight Fit didn’t do any of their singing. It’s like Milli Vanilli and the guy from Boney M!
  6. Love Plus One is ace! A Town Called malice is my favourite Jam song, The Lion Sleeps Tonight was a childhood favourite and Fun Boy Free is a fun track. Loving 1982 so far.
  7. Thirteen Senses - The Invitation. Still adore this album!
  8. One of the best number 1s of the 80s :wub:
  9. Golden Brown :wub: I think this was at the beginning of the time I was aware of music in general (at 6 years old).

  17. Tattva (and Kula Shaker) were always a bit marmite. I quite liked them, but several of my friends didn’t.
  18. Tattva and Oh Yeah are both amazing plus good to see Alison Limerick with a well deserved top 10.
  19. I thought that about the winner too. What a crap prize with Shampoo considering the great bands at the time :lol:
  20. It’s a shame as the next 2 have some crackers. I only really liked Everything But The Girl’s Wrong from the last two.
  21. Apparently the BBC are skipping the next 2 episodes :(

    As the old thread was 61 pages….! I got Jamie xx - In Waves deluxe edition today. Also in the HMV sale, Corrs - Forgiven, Not Forgotten (reduced from £38 to £18) and the Batman Forever soundtrack (reduced from £44 to £22!).

    I think this is great, but it could be better considering who it is. Life remains my fave track so far from those released.
