I think folk would have put Blur but it would appear there is a certain stigma with certain bands ,while others carry a 'must have in my list' tag
  I expect Kings of Leon and other such cr@p to run a fine race in the next chart   |

The next chart will be the best one. Given the age and mentality of chit chatters, the selections will be made by actual music fans rather than those who think music ended the minute they turned 17. There will be fewer shared selections because of the multitude of genres that now exist.
The winning track will be one that despite this fragmentation still has a broad cross over appeal to fans of many different types of music, I reckon it will be Hey Ya by Outkast. |

What's wrong with Mumford and Sons? I love Mumford and Sons.
They're perfect for drinking cider to. First Blunters, now Mumfers, is nothing sacred? |

Bit of a problem from here on in given young peoples failure to admit that nobody in England
can write a song anymore. This will lead to fewer shared selections, or maybe more, the only certainty being that there will be no new inventions from England. |

The older I get the better music gets: all the great old stuff from before still exists, and you get any new stuff you like on top, and with services like Spotify it's easier than ever to access music new and old. If you're a music fan and you have an open mind you've never had it so good and it's only going to keep on getting better.

You might have to look harder for good music but it's never been easier. Anyone who just goes 'Oh it's all X-Factor and manufactured pop' is just sleepingon the job IMO |

inner - which is why i couldn't understand 2 records dominating the 1990s
1990s had some great tunes by rights ,no record should be repeating itself on these charts unless folk are just lazily copying what others have listed which is my educated guess |

1990s had some great tunes by rights ,no record should be repeating itself on these charts unless folk are just lazily copying what others have listed which is my educated guess There were 305 unique selections out of 420, that sounds reasonable to me. I don't think people are lazily copying other lists, I think other lists might act as a memory aid for songs that people might not have initially included in theirs though. On average we're looking at 2 or 3 repetitions per list. Similarly, in terms of a chit chat vote, we're talking about a relatively homogeneous group- how many women have voted? How many under 30s have voted? That narrows the runners automatically. Given the demographics of chit chat, the fact that the guitar anthem of a particular movement and the decade as a whole came out strong isn't a surprise. Unfinished Sympathy is an anthem to another tribe, however, it is one that was strong enough to crossover from the urban/dance scene to appeal to those with indie tastes and pop tastes. I was more into the indie/guitar sound at that time, but it was a song that most people from that sound loved. A song that transcends genre is one that has the potential to do well in these lists for the most recent decades. Finally, we're talking about the 1990s, in the main we were still all coming through the same filters in terms of hearing music: radio 1, 2 and Virgin, and on tv TOTP, TFI and Jools Holland, with a small amount also having the one MTV channel and VH1. This is what makes the next chart the most interesting and potentially diverse, we don't have the same finite shared means by which we come into contact with music because there are so many more avenues to pursue. |

'A song that transcends genre'
did you copy that line from a music publication ? agree with what you were saying in the main about voters on here though -it narrows it down a bit but still no real excuse though - Nirvana were better than that pap -not sure what they were thinking with SLTS ,unless they were looking for a 'hit' |
