Fortunately this 1992 chart is not a contact sport

[Chris Brown]

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.

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.

Post by Chris Brown
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.

Post by Chris Brown
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.

Post by Chris Brown
4. (3) Mr Big To Be With You

I'd forgotten that I remember this.

Post by Chris Brown
5. (4) Soul II Soul Joy

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

Post by Chris Brown
6. (10) Altern 8 Evapor-8

Ditto this.

Post by Chris Brown
7. (NE) SL2 On A Ragga Tip

And this.

Post by Chris Brown
8. (6) Ce Ce Peniston Finally {1992}

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

Post by Chris Brown
9. (15) Curtis Stigers You're All That Matters To Me

Vaguely remember this.

Post by Chris Brown
10. (17) ZZ Top Viva Las Vegas

And this.

Post by Chris Brown
11. (5) Annie Lennox Why

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

Post by Chris Brown
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.

Post by Chris Brown
41. (26) Crowded House Weather With You

Recently on the Absolute Radio iPod.

Post by Chris Brown
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.

Post by Chris Brown
62. (46) The Lightning Seeds The Life Of Riley

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

Post by Chris Brown
74. (49) KLF America: What Time Is Love?

Not the best version of this particular song.
