iheartHazey's 90s EURODANCE PARTY: Wanna go for a rate? - THE END

You're right. I mis-read its chart placings as #21 on the main Billboard Chart but it was actually the Hot Club/Dance Chart. That's odd because I swear I heard it on mainstream radio is a kid.

 

I was aiming for most histrionic reaction to losing their 11. Do I win?

 

I'd have probably given it a 6

 

Did I imagine it or is there going to be a part 2 to this rate?

 

There is, but I have a solo rate I want to do after so the part 2 of this rate would go on the queue for after that. Not sure when it'll start. We have to finalize a song list for it too.

Besides, we'd want a little break after this one anyway.

 

Oh yay! Some of the lost classics might have their moment in the sun then!

In other news, I walked past a stack of CDs outside someone's house the other day (only just prevented the dog from pissing on them), Alex Party single atop the lot and some 90s dance compilation - alas they were boxes only, no discs. But, y'know, 90s dance found rotting etc...

 

Amber getting shunned out of the Top 10 like that...

 

This top 15 is, btw:

11
10 (x7)
9.5
9.4
8
7.9
7.5
6.7
5.3​

 

Another Night, Doctor Jones and Baby Baby could go before the top 10

 

Me downgrading Amber's score to an 8 because I thought she would win the whole rate...


Get these Vengaboys out of here, their novelty songs have no business in the top 10.

 

You're aware that by Part 2 we mean the 00s version of the rate right?

 

Oh.

 

It'll be less songs this time, we're going to try to focus more on the big acts and most well-known songs this time around.

 

I flipped through my old Dance Zone CDs (Levels 1-6!) and found these, which I wish had made it... though we'd be going on forever.

This whole list (and rate in general) takes me right back to my early clubbing days. What a time to be alive!

 

It's all sadly a little before my time - it was '98/'99 I started going, so Vengaboys and Aqua are the biggest representations here.

 

I was '94/'95 and dance music was amazing! I may be of a certain vintage now but I wouldn't change the music I grew up with for anything.

 

I was just about old enough, but had nobody to go with at the time. Everyone was into indie so I always ended up dancing to shite like Ocean Colour Scene and Cast.

 

Those Dance Zone albums are bloody amazing.

"Zombie" is a masterpiece. If I ever heard it in a club (the proper Eternal Airplay Mix) I would explode.

"Dive To Paradise" and "There's Nothing I Won't Do" are also well up there for me.
