Hugely embarrassing slip-up: forgot "T.R.O.Y." Christ.

"Black Metallic" at 69? It'd be a long, long way higher up on my list. ;-)

Nice, nice. I like the Cube and STP entries. I could do without suddenly remembering ghastly things like 'Life Is A Highway' and Ugly Kid Joe, though. I know almost none of the indie stuff in there (if it even is indie!). I only miss ... well nothing, except for maybe some Army Of Lovers.

A nice year -- this list generates a lot of nostalgia for me. I'd try to work in "Countdown," from Lindsay Buckingham's solo album.

My Legendary Girlfriend was actually from 1990, wasn't it? You could always put on O.U. instead.

Spiritualized 'Medication' -- surely 1995?

Spiritualized 'Medication' -- surely 1995?

No, it was released in its original take/mix as a standalone single towards the end of 1992.

Is it on the 'Compleat Works' thingy (which I own but haven't gotten round to)?

― Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

Yes Enrique, it's on that. I went with it since it was pretty widely available on import and so much of Laser Guided Melodies had been kicking around since early 1990 on singles.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 15:11 (twenty years ago) link

Another good one. INXS' "Not Enough Time" would've been my pick. Also, I think Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" actually charted in '92 due to Wayne's World.

― dleone (dleone), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 15:46 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah it was #2 or #3 for most of the Spring if I remember right, but, as with Ce Ce Peniston's "Finally" and KLF's "What Time is Love (America)?", which all charted hugely in '92, I left "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the year it first broke through - it's on the 1975 C700 which is in here somewhere. Shoulda put the thrash version of "3 AM Eternal" on here.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:11 (twenty years ago) link

the caff 7" of 'my legendary girlfriend' was released in '92

And was an NME Single of the Week.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:46 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, but the 12 inch was definitely 1990 - and wasn't it THAT which was the NME single of the week. 'Sides, the vinyl only has a live version on it and it's a bit pants.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 02:06 (twenty years ago) link

By which, I mean the 7-inch has a live version that pales in comparison to the real version, as featured on the 12-inch and the Greatest Album of All Time.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 02:07 (twenty years ago) link

re: Chris Ott's post

Excellent, where'd you get that list? i definitely definitely have to agree w/: Curve, Suede, U2, Lush, orbital, and ELECTRONIC! i LOOOOVE "Disappointed", part of why i got the Cool World Soundtrack.

― whoever (whoever), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 07:56 (twenty years ago) link

Das Boot! That's a great song.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 08:03 (twenty years ago) link

My friend's older brother came back from germany with that CD and we ended up just randomly spouting things like "I wanna be a Kennedy! I wanna fuck Marilyn Monroe!" at each other for months.

MIA: Blur - Popscene...

― Vasquesz, Wednesday, 7 January 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago) link

Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting" was a '92 single, since I assume "Girlfriend" gets the nod for '91.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago) link

four years pass...

yeah, 1992
