[QUOTE="adamw, post: 788839, member: 7066"] You know, I was just thinking about this the other day. Back then, the Stock Aitken & Waterman bandwagon was in full steam until house music rode into town and stole the show. There was just as much bad music around then as there is now. I think the difference is that now there's no unified cause for people to support as a reaction to the mainstream and ultimately there's not enough people bothered to make a difference.... someone start the next revolution, quick. ...and as for the X-Factor, no more than glorified "Opportunity Knocks" for the 21st century. We've been here before you know. :cops: ...And while I'm at it, here's a top 40 singles chart from October 1988. The same month Mike Pickering was playing out some ace music at Nude at The Hacienda (see Music section for a taster) Apart from from a couple of obvious exceptions, doesn't make for inspiring listening does it? 1 Black Box - Ride On Time 2 Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers - That's What I Like 3 Technotronic featuring Felly - Pump Up The Jam 4 Sydney Youngblood - If Only I Could 5 Milli Vanilli Girl - I'm Gonna Miss You 6 Rebel MC & Double Trouble - Street Tuff 7 Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire 8 Erasure - Drama! 9 Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Surrender 10 Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On 11 The Beautiful South - You Keep It All In 12 Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time 13 Living In A Box - Room In Your Heart 14 Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting 15 Fresh 4 featuring Lizz E - Wishing On A Star 16 Tina Turner - The Best 17 Curiosity Killed The Cat - Name And Number 18 Bros - Chocolate Box 19 Chris Rea - The Road To Hell (Part 2) 20 Sonia - Can't Forget You [/QUOTE]
