Top Ten.

Madonna's still at Number One.

Fast-forward to the playout.

INXS - Mystify.

This is better than I remember.

That was another decent episode but with no major highlights.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Americanos

Do you remember my anecdote about Idiot Wind? Well, I subsequently made a compilation tape including Idiot Wind, and also Americanos, which I was in two minds about because I wasn't 100% sure it was meant to be ironic.

I've said this before, and as I'm old and I don't care if I'm repeating myself, I'll say it again;

When Nevermind came out, but before it went huge I heard a copy, and you know when you hear a song, you so busy trying to remember which song it reminds you of you actually stop listening? Well I had that, a lot.

Bruno Brooks introduced the Guns N'Roses as 'Paradise'.



I mean, I'm sure presenting live TV is harder than it looks, but it's not that hard is it?

Their smash hit Indian got a lot of airplay in the early 1990s but failed to make the charts.
