Lots of GOLD on this poll!

Cypress Hill, Shaggy, Dre & Snow all brilliant.

I take it Ace Of Base didn't get far over the pond?

This was the first year I bought a NOW (vol 25)!

actually they did! wasn't 'The Sign' #1 in the States (but not til '94)? i think people, esp. critics, just thought they were crap.

Ah, excellent. "All That She Wants" was one of my top choones of this year. My schoolchum K heard it way before anyone else due to having a Scandinavian mum. She also made me listen to Roxette on repeat!

WHERE ARE ROXETTE

[koganbot]

Same place as Ace of Base. Sweden.

Yeah, Ace of Base were huge, but rock critics' minds are not so huge - though actually if you take any group's mind, it'll be too narrow; Ace of Base just happened to be beyond P&J.

Once again my listening habits coincided with the Lex's! I loved Urban Cookie Collective, Capella, Haddaway, Culture Beat, Sub Sub...

I GOT THE KEY
