I saw this meme on
Wendy's blog and thought it was an excellent idea.
So, you take the top 50 records from the year you were 18 from this website
http://www.onmc.iinet.net.au/, post the list and then -
bold
the ones you liked,strike the ones you dislikedand
italicize the ones you knew but didn’t particularly like or dislike.
The ones you don’t know will still be in normal text.
So, here are the top 50 songs from 1995.
1995 to me means britpop, A levels and moving to University in Sheffield. I think the list below shows thigns a little differently!
UNCHAINED MELODY c/w (THERE'LL BE BLUEBIRDS OVER) THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER Robson Green & Jerome Flynn There is too much Robson & Jerome near the top of this list
GANGSTA'S PARADISE Coolio featuring LV I am and am never likely to be into gansta rap!
I BELIEVE c/w UP ON THE ROOF Robson Green & Jerome Flynn see above - shocking
BACK FOR GOOD Take That Although I probably wouldn't admit it at the time, I was a little partial to take that, and remember buying the greatest hits from Virgin in Sheffield whilst hoping noone would see me!
THINK TWICE Celine Dion Eeeek
EARTH SONG Michael Jackson There was also too much Jackson this year
FAIRGROUND Simply Red I cannot stand Mick.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE Michael Jackson see above
MISSING Everything But The Girl This song reminds me of going to visit my friend Matt at Birmingham Uni for some reason!
WONDERWALL Oasis Not the best song ever, but it is one of the tunes of the year for me
BOOM BOOM BOOM The Outhere Brothers What?
COUNTRY HOUSE Blur Ahh the war between Blur & Oasis for number one, I bought this single (even though it is probably one of Blur's worst) to show where my loyalties lay - sucked in totally.
FATHER AND SON Boyzone I probably hated this at the time, but feel fairly neutral on it now
DON'T STOP (WIGGLE WIGGLE) The Outhere Brothers the outhere brothers, whatever happened to them?
BOOMBASTIC Shaggy This makes me laugh....
COTTON EYE JOE Rednex There was no need for this.
SET YOU FREE N-Trance Again, I probably hated this at the time.

HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME, KILL ME U2 Never been a big U2 fan.
ROLL WITH IT Oasis Another A levels song for me.
GUAGLIONE Perez 'Praz' Prado & his Orchestra - I have no idea what this is but am tempted to look it up on itunes
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU The Rembrandts - reminds me of Friday evenings sitting on horribly uncomfortable kitchen chairs in my uni flat watching my tiny portable TV for our weekly dose of friends.
TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME Bobby Brown Never liked him!
HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER Ini Kamoze - I am going to have this in my head for the rest of the week now.
SHY GUY Diana King - Don't remember this either
IT'S OH SO QUIET Bjork - Always shocks me when it comes on my ipod when I'm on a train because you never hear the start!
NEVER FORGET Take That Probably my fave TT song!
DON'T GIVE ME YOUR LIFE Alex Party Again, I probably hated this at the time!

What songs were in the top 50 the year you were 18?
He was finished on the bus on the way to see my Mom on Thursday evening, hence the rubbish photo of him with his scarf. He is the softest owl in the world and he now lives with Monkey and Albert on the sofa at my Mom's house. She has been really poorly recently, so it was good to be able to make her something to cheer her up!
Just before lunch from the kitchen
And at about 5.30pm from the bedroom again.....
I had to come in and get warm, and of course, share all our hard work with you! More tomorrow... let's hope I'm not too tired for knitting tonight as it is someone's 3rd Birthday on Wednesday and I've only done 4 rows of her present. Ooooops.
More yarn has also arrived (much to Tony's disgust). All of it with projects in mind.
I have also been working on the socks for my Sockret Pal. One is about 3/4 finished, and a sock in a week isn't bad going for me. Should get it finished on my trip to Nottingham tomorrow.
