Didn't The Shamen have to alter the lyrics of Ebenezer Good?

I would agree with some posters, this is a weak looking top 40 but then I think the early 90's was a poor time for chart music generally (in England anyway). I'm also surprised to see Mariah Carey in there, i didn't think she made it quite so early (she must have been young). Also this chart must be just weeks away from being taken over by Bryan Adams Robin Hood theme tune?? :naughty:

I bought TWO CD's shortly after getting my first ever CD player (for my 13th birthday I think). They were Waking Up The Neighbours by Bryan Adams (containing the perenial number 1 Everything I Do I Do For You) and We Can't Dance by Genesis. Two good albums that I still listen to.

Oooh there are some strong songs on this list. This is hard. 1.) Eagles - Hotel California 2.) Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill 3.) Foreigner - Cold As Ice 4.) AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie 5.) Fleetwood Mac - Dreams 6.) Queen - We Will Rock You 7.) David Bowie - Heroes 8.) 10cc - The Things We Do For Love 9.) Carpenters - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft 10.) Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen 11.) Abba - Knowing Me Knowing You 12.) Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World 13.) Abba - The Name Of The Game 14.) Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way 15.) Queen - We Are The Champions 16.) Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight 17.) Hot Chocolate - So You Win Again 18.) Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway 19.) Rose Royce - Car Wash

Ahhh 1996 I remember it well, the year I started Uni. Great times. Ok, here's mine: 1.) Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger 2.) George Michael - Fastlove 3.) Alanis Morissette - Ironic 4.) Spice Girls - Wannabe 5.) Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy 6.) Babylon Zoo - Spaceman 7.) Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her 8.) Celine Dion - It's All Coming Back To Me Now 9.) Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's 10.) Oasis - Champagne Supernova 11.) Prodigy - Firestarter 12.) Robert Miles - Children 13.) Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 14.) Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart 15.) Underworld - Born Slippy Others: All I Need Is A Miracle 96 - Mike + The Mechanics The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You - Bryan Adams

To me Emo is just another media 'label'. No different to labelling some bands 'punk' and others 'metal' or 'grunge' or whatever. I actually rate some of the bands that are labelled as Emo. Jimmy Eat World are a fantastic sounding band who just seem to play good ole' rock n' roll. My Chemical Romance are likewise an excellent band and Black Parade sounds more like 'Iron Maiden' than any other 'Emo' band I've heard. Merry Christmas !

I agree Touts are all scum ! By the way yesterdays papers are full of rumours that the Led Zep world tour is almost definitely 'on'. Plant is apparently up 4 it (he was the only one who was previously stalling). I'll be dragging along the missus to witness musical greatness ! :P

Wow they sounded pretty tight, Plant's voice is still there. I really hope they do a tour - I'll def be getting tickets.

I like this band, cool vid.

Obviously some great guitarists are on there altho personally I would have thought Ritchie Blackmore and Sambora were worthy of higher positions. As previous posters said, sheer technique on its own doesn't equate to being the best as Music is an art form and emotion and dedication plays a big part. I would argue that Van Halen is technically better than say Dave Gilmour however I prefer Gilmour's playing (obviously they are both f'kin amazing musicians). Also we should remember that these guitarists are mostly playing stuff that they wrote themselves and therefore an element of 'I'll compose only what I can actually play' comes into it. I'm surprised Steve Rothery of Marillion wasn't in there as I think he is an exceptional guitarist and this may raise a few eyebrows but I once saw Chris Rea play live and he truly blew me away with his masterful use of the guitar, especially the slide guitar. I would rate both these two above maybe 70% of that list!

Not bad......... Kaiser Chiefs should be higher

How hysterically funny was Dave Grohl at the MTV awards the other night?? He cracks me up ! :D

This is one top track ! Z1Eh5Ww01cg

Jimmy Eat World are a stunning band ! They are touring England early next year and I'm def going to see them. Loved Futures and Bleed American !
