    Well a few come to mind:
    
         "You got the Love "  by The Source Featuring Candi Statten
    
         "Last Train to Trancentral " - The K.L.F.
    
         "Get the Message"   by Electronic
    
         "The Robots"      By Kraftwerk
    
         "Planet of Sound" by The Pixies
    
         "Loose Fit/Bobs yer Uncle"  by The Happy Mondays
    
         "What Can You Do For Me ?" by  Utah Saints
    
         "Panic" by Johhny Panic and The Bible of Dreams
    
      Hardly a definitive list as most of the music is fairly electronic in
    nature but sure there you go.
    
                  Niall

 Niall,

 Nice list, but if you had to pick one single, what would it be?

 Stuart

    It really just depends on the mood . I can narrow it down to "Last
    Train" , "You got the Love" and "The Robots". 
     Well I suppose it has to be "The Robots" cos the nine minute version
    is really just so good ,either to listen or dance to. Of all the single
    releases it's the one I'm least tired of . It really is a shame that
    Kraftwerk broke up again.
    
                Niall

    The Scorpions; Wind of Change was undoubtedly the best single of the
    year.
    
    Wasn't "The Robots" an ancient song by Kraftwerk that was re-released ?
    I'm sure I remember it from when I used to listen to them years ago.
    
    
    				Jamie.

But none of the aforementioned were no1 for 14 weeks, were they?

    It was 16 weeks.  The version of "The Robots" was completley
    re-recorded . It really doesn't have all that much to do with the
    original version.
    
                   Niall

    
    I THINK ITS WAS '91(UK),ANYWAY DEFINITELY....
    
                "BEEN CAUGHT STEALIN'"-JANES ADDICTION
    
             
    
                              -JAYCE-

    Either...
    
    "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" ( Have I got that right? )
    
    or
    
    "Paper Doll" 
    
    by 
    
    PM Dawn.

	The most predictable submission of the year, for single of '91


        Sheriff Fatman - Carter:U.S.M , surely an anthem for urban life
        in the 90's.


        Stuart
        

    
    
    Some that spring to mind .....
    
    	'Killer' by Seal
    
    	'Sexuality' by Billy Bragg
    
    	'Sit Down' by James
    
    	'Changing my Religion' or 'Smiley Happy People' by R.E.M.
    
    	My No.1 would be the Billly Bragg one !
    

    re .10
    
    That's 'Losing my Religion' and 'Shiney Happy People' by R.E.M.
    
    Balders
    

    Shiney? Is that 'cos it rhymes with Tiney?
    
    Piers

    I thought that REM song was an anthem for baldies; I was sure it was
    called Shiny Headed People.
    
    Bob

    
    I thought that song was a cover of a Roxette album track! 
    
    Mark

    Oh no! Don't open that old can of worms again. The Great Roxette 
    debate deserves a note in it's own right. Pistols at dawn if anyone's
    up to it?
    
    Barry. (in the R's corner) 
    
    

    I would go for these -
    
    Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole
    
    Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit 
    
    Smashing Pumkins - Siva
    
    Curve - Frozen 
    
    
    If I had to pick one it would be Nirvana - a hard choice tough.
    
    
    
    					stuart.

    Only one contender in my book
    
    "Thats Just The Way It Is Baby" by The Rembrandts
    
    Michael

    Its the old I can out-obscure-you-any-day-mate note. My choices would
    be;-)
     
    "Did I hear U write?"		by	Love is Lost
    
    "Death is a Really Heavy Bummer"	by 	Seriously Sane 
    
    "I've got a Big One"		by 	Ding A Ling
    
    "I Don't Like Some Days"		by 	The Pubescent Pratts
    
    but my favourite by a kilometre is
    
    "Land of Mke Believe"		by 	Bucks Fizz
    
    Dougie
    
    

    "There's No Other Way" by Blur will always be remembered...
    
    and, Re:9
    
    If you rate Carter this highly, then give your ears a treat and listen
    to Trousershock BC's stuff.
    
    
    Terry B

   Best singles for me were:

      "Losing My Religion" - REM

      "Jacky" - Mark Almond

   Goldy.

    
    It came late, but I reckon John Lee Hooker's This Is Hip has to be 
    a contender for best single of the year, in an otherwise very barren
    year.
    
    Mark

    
    	I liked,
    
    	M-People - How can I love you more
    
    	CC Pennistion - Meeting Mr Right
    
    	Kim Sims - Too blind to see it (Remix)
    
    
    	Gary.

    My favourite has to be;
    
    "Sticking with what you know", by The Used Condoms
    
    Dougie
    

   I'll go for:

   "Winter In July" by Bomb The Bass, closely followed by

   "Which Way Should I Jump" by The Milltown Brothers

   "Can You Dig It?" by The Mock Turtles

   "Shiny Happy People" by R.E.M. and

   "Happy" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin

   �Paul�

    re-1 - the Mock Turtles lp with 'can you dig it', is it all as good as
    the single?

I think so. jangly pop, with a couple of slow tracks.


Stuart 

   re -.2, I reckon "Can You Dig It" is one of the better tracks on the
   album, but having said that, there's not a duff track on it. As Stuart
   says, good jangly pop and one of my favourites of the year.

   �Paul�

    re -.1
    
    "Can You Dig It?" was from the Mock Turtles album "Turtle Soup"
    originally, an even better album than "Two Sides" IMHO. Especially the
    track "Lay Me Down". Dead funky.
