We Dig Music - Series 5 Episode 11 - Best of 1989

More time travel before we snap back up to date with next month;s best of 2022 episode, This month we're in 1989 (the year, not the Taylor Swift album) where we're crashing the Exxon Valdez into the Berlin Wall (or something like that, I don't know, I was only 7...) We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine. Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year. Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - The Cult, The Cure, The Darling Buds, Del Amitri, Electronic, Extreme, Faith No More, The Field Mice, Don Henley, Kitchens Of Distinction, Loop, Biz Markie, Ministry, Mother Love Bone, Bob Mould, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, The Pastels, Pixies, Pop Will Eat Itself, Public Enemy, Ramones, Senseless Things, Sepultura, Skid Row, Skinny Puppy, The Sundays, Spaceman 3, Technotronic, & Transvision Vamp Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playl....ist/4uuaF2z2giwA5OBb Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playl....ist/45zfDHo8zm6Vqrvo If you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes, you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playl....ist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JN Ian's here - https://open.spotify.com/playl....ist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQd and Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playl....ist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nK The playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows - 1st place - 20 points 2nd place - 18 points 3rd place – 16 points 4th place – 14 points 5th place – 12 points 6th place – 9 points 7th place – 7 points 8th place – 5 points 9th place – 3 points 10th place -1 point Hosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey B Guest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.
