poptimists1993 and yes it's the SUMMER OF RAGGA, all 3 hits of it. During the early 90s every summer was going to be the Summer Of Ragga but this one actually WAS, sort of. What happened to them all? Snow turned into an N@zi! Shaggy hooked up with Rayvon! Shabba said bad things and was DISSED on The Word by a rockabilly revivalist! And meanwhile the rest of the charts were turned over to proving the proposition that anybody can rap - Brian Harvey, the crusty bloke from Stereo MCs, him out of Capella, you name it they tried it.
The dog that isn't really barking in these polls is Grunge, which was a presence in the charts but whose practitioners didn't seem to want it on Now comps (or the compilers considered it too horse-scaring).
Meanwhile on Now 23 East 17's "House Of Love" topped the poll by one vote, ahead of ABBA, with Eezer Goode in third.
[Poll #673545]

"Is It Like Today?" No it is like YESTERDAY arf arf. Guy Chambers had the last laugh tho.

3) I used to have the Sunscreem song on Energy Rush Presents Dance Hits '93 but I lost the tape somewhere in the Canadian Rockies. It had Sub Sub on it as well. I mourned that tape much longer than I mourned

Sub Sub's Balearic ambient stuff is alright too, if you like that sort of thing.
Good thing Stone Temple Pilots are not on this NOW is all I can say...

Top 5 Butcher Knife Tracks
Date: 2006-02-15 07:50 pm (UTC)1. "We Are Family (Sure Is Pure Remix Edit With a Butcher Knife)"
2. "Looking Through Patient Eyes With a Butcher Knife"
3. "This Time With a Butcher Knife"
4. "Aint No Love (Aint No Use) With a Butcher Knife"
5. "I Put a Spell On You With a Butcher Knife"
*When it was first released, Chuck Eddy insisted that "Constant Craving" should have been entitled "Constant Carving" anyway and that therefore it for sure belonged in the Top 5. Judges on all levels, however, dismissed this reasoning.

(They called them "mixers" not "discos" and I never went, so the above is a guess, but as I recall, everyone at college had terrible taste but me, so it wouldn't have been "I Wanna Dance Wit' You (Do Dat Dance)" or anything else I liked.)
