Love the smilies! For me:
1969
Get over the late 60s! Some of the best music ever was in the late 60s, but the charts were mostly rubbish. (Although, tbf, not as rubbish as the 90s!) 1976
Fabulous. Midst of the best period for chart music ever.1988
After the early / mid 80s doldrums, a final fling of life and energy in the charts, although mixed with plenty of records hinting at the dross to come.Finally, my usual observation that the best period for chart music was 1940 to 1989 (or arguably the early 90s). A fifty year golden chart period that is perfect for Radio 2 to focus on - leaving the last 25 years for the Radio 1 audience to focus on. And yet when POTP is expanded to three years, all three of them are from the second half of the golden period.
