Love Shack!! Now that is an absolutely cracking tune. That would get my vote!

[Johnny 1989]

Love Shack!! Now that is an absolutely cracking tune. That would get my vote!

See now for me that's one of the worst, I hate that song, actually I don't think I like a single B52 song, just something about the style of it.

The worst on that one is this: E-Zee Possee Feat. Mc Kinky - Everything Starts With An E

Now I have this on Now That's What I Call Music 17, go to you tube & find it and listen to the lyrics, it'll make you wonder how Now Music didn't catch those lyrics and how they managed to make the "blunder".

I honestly don't remember any of these. I might if I heard them, but the names mean nothing to me.

[bmstinton93]

Same here

[a-moron]

the names mean nothing to me.

...oh Vienna!

Don't know if i'm to late for the poll but thought i'd chip in.

The Knack - My Sharona



But this clips better.

[Nicola_Red]

the names mean nothing to me.

...oh Vienna!

Whenever I say "it means nothing to me" about anything I always wanna add "oh Vienna". Then I remember that I work with a bunch of 20-25 yr olds and none of them have heard of that song cos they weren't born...

[bmstinton93]

Even I have heard that song and I'm proper young...

Take That have sampled it very recently as well in their song, Eight Letters but Vienna is better

[Nicola_Red]

We've had Absolute 80s radio on in the office for the past few weeks actually, so stuff like Vienna has been on repeat. I'm always like "ah, I remember buying this song on 7" vinyl" and the rest of them are like "I wasn't born". Curse their youth!

[dimtimjim]

ah, 7"

Back in the days when 7" kept you happy?!

[Simon Bayliss]

I had to join to post my song from when i was born, i'm pretty confident it will win the worst song award. I've just listened to it and there's no redeeming qualities!

Esther & Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella

No 1 in March 68

[Bas]

I can't enter this as there is no way to get a wax cylinder to play on the internet.

Ach ballix, heres a few.

A surprisingly good year, now that i looked it up, i was expecting far far worse.
There was some f**kin wheeker songs out that year!

[Senninha25]

My Gid, 1993 was awful for music. This is the best one I could find and it still really annoys me.


Why that stupid song annoys me. (Skip to 2:34)

(Off-topic, not part of the Golden Hour)

[Nicola_Red]

Ah Bas, I wanna know what that is now! (I can't see youtube links at work.)

[bmstinton93]

ah, 7"

Back in the days when 7" kept you happy?!

Is that why it ended badly with you and her then...?

To be fair I think with the exception of the Rod Stewart, Soul II Soul & Tina Turner tunes the rest didn't chart that well at all, although I remember a lot of them from when I was young, oddly enough the Dave A Stewart (he of the Eurythmics) I only know of because Chris Tarrant used to use the track as a bed back in the 90's on his Capital FM show, a lot up their either charted between 20-40 or where the follow up to a big hit (Blue Pearl released Naked In The Rain, for example) but their follow up single bombed badly. Most of these also are from the old Now albums (Now 17 & 18 to be exact) but most didn't even make it onto the latter Now 1990 compilations.

To be fair I do have 6650 songs (and counting) on my iPod so I'm bound to have some stuff those of you on here may have never heard of

Nerd Mode over

[bmstinton93]

I have over 10000 songs on my ipod, although I do have every single number one ever from 1952 up to and including the present number 1.

[Nicola_Red]

I was 16 in 1991, so I was probably far too busy pretending to be cool to listen to chart music

I don't know how many songs I have on my mp3 player. Maybe a couple thousand. I'm very selective in what I put on there tho. I like to cull regularly to minimise the skip factor.

Bloody hell, I take it you have a 160GB iPod then as well? Do they still make those ones or have they stopped making them now.

To be fair I have got certain songs in yearly lists, however I'll be honest I don't often listen to the whole list for each year, however I pick & choose songs to make playlists of songs, but it's just so I have them all in one place & that they're easier to find.

Woah don't tar us all with the same brush! I wish I could have Absolute 80s on, the woman I share my office with always opts straight for radio 2.

I have one of the old 80gb video's with 15gb free so if i fill that i might upgrade to the 160ga Classic which I do believe is still being made.

*Complimentary, non condescending hand clap*

Made me chuckle
