I thought "Pacific" came out in '89????

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

― michael wells (michael w.), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dont you think this chart is too varied? as in why is there a top 100 for 'hard rock' but a much more general one for any dance music? i suppose a rave/hardcore top 100/a techno top 100/a house top 100/a jungle top 100 would bet pretty boring pretty quickly tho

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

'pacific' came out in NOVEMBER '89 but OK, substitute it for 'Cubik'

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

naturally i disagree with this chart more than any other so far ;)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

But then we'd have to specify whether to use the UK definition of "hardcore" (ie, rave/proto-jungle) or the European one (ie, gabber).

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

i like the variedness (thats why i liked the 90s 'general' one, or would have done if it had worked properly like the 80s and 70s ones!)

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah...but i'm saying it might as well have included hip hop and stuff because although thats big enough to exist outside a general notion of what dance music is (whereas techno probably isnt) its just...oh never mind, this is just sour grapes cos i missed this thred totally until like number 94 or something ;)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

it's pretty odd that nearly all mentioned tunes are from 1990-1995.

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

That's not odd from my angle; that's when I was deeply into dance music (and it's one of my musical golden ages).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

good point tho Siegbran, i DO think the latter half of the decade was just as strong for dance tracks as the first half, despite the fallout of jungle, handbag/hardbag and several other sub-genres

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Does this reveal everyone in this thread to be in their late 20s/early 30s?

I've seen a number of similar threads on message boards mostly filled with teenagers/early 20s and those were (indeed, predictably) more tilted towards the late 90s. Makes a nice contrast with this one.

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

twosix

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

that's a valid criticism of the list. 26, also.

― michael wells (michael w.), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

29 in da HEEZY!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

i DO think the latter half of the decade was just as strong for dance tracks as the first half

I was toying with a theory on this a year or so ago: quantity as well as the average quality level were significantly higher in the second half, so the brilliant tunes didn't stand out much, whereas the early 90s had so much amateurish crap that the really good tracks got noticed a lot more.

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm not sure about that, but the volume was certainly larger in the late 90s (i think there was a 96-98 dip possibly?).
