After the blockbuster commentsfest of 1991, the Poptimists pollmasters bring you.....1992, obviously. Will punk keep breaking? Are we all ternative? Whose trousers were on back to front? ect ect.

"How I Could Just Kill A Man" has been left off this list because it was on the last one, thus leaving you NINE ticks to make.

THOROUGHLY AWESOME YEAR

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

How can anyone be disappointed by this year?

With most great years it seems as if all the greatness is in a definite vein - banging Eurotechno or old-skool hip-hop or whatever. But in 1992 it's on all fronts! The bosh is well represented; the r&b and hip-hop is brilliant; even the alt stuff (eg KD Lang, and that REM song isn't bad even though I dodn't tick it) (let us IGNORE the crappy peppers) is on top form. It's all good!

Small point of order: where is Tori Amos? This was the year she emerged! I didn't get into her until '94 though.

Like the Lex I have never really stopped listening to stuff from 1992! Even during my lengthy indie phase I still preferred early Prodge to Fat of the Land etc and boshed it up to the Tlimited at student discos innit.

This is the year I would most like to relive, musically.

I think there's something in the fact that if 1991 was the year I first realised I loved music, 1992 was the year when I put that into action and started to hoover the stuff up. This year COMPLETELY formed my tastes!

Oh yes that is meant to read the shameN in my answers! I was also well into Tasmin Archer.

1992 was a good year for me - but not from this selection of songs

'I was also well into Tasmin Archer.'

the shame!

Re: THOROUGHLY AWESOME YEAR

actually Tasmin put a new song out earlier this year which wasn't too bad iirc (in the same way the new Paul Simon single isn't that bad)

Haha I didn't know she still had a career! Her second album DIED commercially - it is really good though, better than the first. Years old now.

This was the year my love affair with R&B began and my musical tastes really started to broaden outside pop & rave music. En Vogue & TLC are still my two favourite girl bands of all time - and both of their singles here are brilliant.

It was the year I started clubbing too and had a bit more money so I could buy more - so I have very fond memories of 1992.
