• Fortunately this 1992 chart is not a contact sport

    From Chris Brown@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 11 22:37:36 2021
    Put this one in the schedule a while ago after hearing that Mark Keds of
    the Senseless Things had died earlier this year. They're one of several pre-Britpop indie acts in this chart, nearly all of whose careers were
    to take a tumble in the next couple of years (thanks in part to one of
    the ones who didn't).
    That said, I think the dominant genre in this chart is probably dance.
    Plenty of already-veteran acts too.

    Chart dated: 18th April 1992

    I don't really remember much of this from the time. In theory I ought
    to, given that where I was working at the time we generally had the
    radio on all day. But, somehow, most of it seems to have just gone over
    my head. And I wasn't listening to the radio much when not at work,
    mainly because I spent relatively little time in the car - I was
    commuting to work by train, so the only driving was for shopping and
    visiting friends, and they were generally short trips. I watched TotP
    whenever possible, but even that was a maximum of every other week as I
    was working shifts at the time. So, although I was following music at
    the time - this isn't part of one of my blank periods - a lot of it
    seems to have passed me by.

    1. (2) Right Said Fred Deeply Dippy

    I do remember this, though, And I remember that I wasn't impressed by it
    at the time. Which is probabky because it was crap.

    2. (1) Shakespears Sister Stay

    This, on the other hand, is a classic of the era - possibly an all-time
    classic - and another that I remember very well from the time.

    3. (8) Vanessa Williams Save The Best For Last

    Bland. I would say unmemorable, if it were not for the fact that I do
    actually remember it.

    4. (3) Mr Big To Be With You

    I'd forgotten that I remember this.

    5. (4) Soul II Soul Joy

    I don't remember this. Even listening to it now doesn't ring any bells.

    6. (10) Altern 8 Evapor-8

    Ditto this.

    7. (NE) SL2 On A Ragga Tip

    And this.

    8. (6) Ce Ce Peniston Finally {1992}

    I do remember this, though. I quite liked it at the time.

    9. (15) Curtis Stigers You're All That Matters To Me

    Vaguely remember this.

    10. (17) ZZ Top Viva Las Vegas

    And this.

    11. (5) Annie Lennox Why

    This is another that I definitely remember, and remember liking.

    16. (9) Mr Bean And The Smear Campaign with Bruce Dickinson (I Want To
    Be) Elected

    I don't remember this from the time, but my attention was recently drawn
    to it on social media as it's relevant to the current local election
    campaigns.

    41. (26) Crowded House Weather With You

    Recently on the Absolute Radio iPod.

    51. (33) The Stone Roses I Am The Resurrection

    Great song. Which I don't remember at all from the time.

    It's a very cleverly written song, with the way that the bridge
    repeatedly lifts into what you expect to be the chorus, only for it to
    go back to another verse. Which means that when it finally does reach
    the chorus - right at the end of the song - the impact is even greater.

    62. (46) The Lightning Seeds The Life Of Riley

    Good song. But another that I don't remember from the time.

    74. (49) KLF America: What Time Is Love?

    Not the best version of this particular song.
