Some absolute BANGERS there.

Funny

But you could do that for just about any year, I reckon. The singles chart has always been full of guff.

Critics album lists are probably a fairer measure of the quality of a year's music.

not every day a communist anarchist band gets the 10th highest single of the year.

also, could the teletubbies song be made in the 60's and 70's? i very much doubt it.

The thought of hearing that Tubthumping song again is making me feel anxious.

Yea same. And lots of idiots doing drinking motions on a small town club dance floor.

2004 was vintage

 

[degsy]

Best?

80s for me.

I love Motown but the 80s was full on tunes. Music that hasn’t got old yano. Few Stella’s, a splif, few lines of the Colombian, it doesn’t matter as the music is boss.

There's no  Good or Bad music - Just music You like, so no good or bad decades.
QED

I grew up in the 50s and 60s...and there was some right gash records back then...but somebody bought them
And there's been loads of crap music made before And Since

they don't make 'em like they used to!

I at work but I will certainly come back to this when I get home. I sense a new ringtone in the offing.

All killer, no filler.

If I'd voted, I would want to change it to 97 now.

In the mid 90s they were trying to push this guy Pato Banton as part of the jokey reggae thing at the time, and had him do loads of really terrible collaborations.

Here is him with Sting pretending to be a cowboy

Bet there's been a top ten at some point where every song was at least good. Like a serious effort at making pop music, not some low effort formulaic mince.

No idea when that would have been mind.
