Top 100 of 1991

Kids grow up quick don't they?  Just a year before, in 1990, my chart was full of pop and chart music with the odd song from the Soup Dragons or the Charlatans creeping in.  Now, aged 13, it's the other way round - I had quite a few bands I could call my own at this point, plus some that I heard through my brother's growing record collection too.

I think the rules included singles, B-sides and album tracks from the year at this point, which is why some bands seem to have a lot of entries.  I had amassed around ten LPs before this point, but as may be obvious from the chart I had also picked up 'Spartacus' by The Farm, 'Schubert Dip' by EMF, 'A Life With Brian' by Flowered Up and 'Pornograffiti' by Extreme which make a few appearances each.

There aren't many entries here that I'm not keen on now, obviously the order would change and songs I've heard since could push others out but not really embarrassing at all this one.  Although the Manics don't do especially well here despite all their singles for the year getting an entry, but that just proves I'm giving it to you truthfully as it was at the time!!
