Apologies to anyone who wasted time messing about with the earlier version of this poll.

This was the hardest poll in terms of reaching the requisite 9 ticks, in part cos there's stuff I think I might well like (and probably know) but can't bring to mind - "Hip Hop Hooray" and Tag Team for instance.

I really, really didn't like 'alternative rock' at this point.

I nearly gave Tag Team a tick. Didn't Clock cover it a couple of years later?

This was competing with "Whoot," which unfortunately didn't make the poll. I actually might go back and tick "Whoomp." Unlike Tom, I had an incredibly hard time limiting myself to nine. I've got another ten that I considered tickable. And it isn't that I loved the year's music particularly; I was drifting in my tastes, out of sorts with what was popular, but there turned out to be lots and lots of pleasing inventive stuff off in genres that weren't my main emotional movers.

Amazing Clock fact

The best facts are the most implausible ones!

Man I really need to get some work done this arvo. Blimmin' polls.

Gutted that I didn't have room for a tick for Tag Team. Naughty By Nature, on the other hand, were always bum.

a shame that A Tribe Called Quest didn't get a look-in. 'Midnight Marauders' seemed slowburn tho, hit bigger in '94 maybe.

[koganbot]

A Tribe Called Quest placed 21 on the albums part of the poll.
