Guess The Year Music Edition

[Declan A Walsh]

I think listening to the radio back in the day when they had the likes of "the classic 9 at 9" - 9 songs from a particular year in an hour, some song's years weirdly just stuck in my head.  Though that was back in the 90s, when "classic" meant 60s to 80s, so stuff from the 90s itself probably wouldn't do as well.  I definitely wouldn't do well on Take That songs.  I can't even remember what station used to do that.

There's a 9 at 11 on today fm on a Saturday morning, same thing, guess the year!

Definitely not the one I was thinking of, as I don't listen to Today FM on Saturday morning or any other time, in truth, any more.  This was an evening show back in the mid 90s.

Tim Kelly used to be on evenings on 98FM from 1989 up until the end of 1997. He did the 9 at 9 at 9pm. I think that's the one you are thinking of. He moved to Today FM in early 1998 and brought hat idea with him and it eventually evolved into the 9 at 11 on Today FM.


I might give this a go.

Yes, that sounds most probable.

[ShaneU]

Used to have serious OCD back in the ipod days about having all the information correct on there so I know the right ballpark at least for most of these

[cee_jay]

I thought 90s would be easy. There are 2 I feel certain were released in the same year. 50/50 now on being right on whichever one I change.

[Declan A Walsh]

Some of the answers that I am nearly convinced about made me change some other answers...possibly in the right direction! 

[aaronjennings]

My 90s answers aren't going too bad, but they're definitely going to be worse the further back I go

[Trigger]

I know 2..that's it.. I'll be (educated??) Guessing the rest

Wooden spoon here I come

Will get answers in later Kol

[Necro]

I'm in. Sorry for the running commentary in my answers Kol, that's how my brain works things out in these scenarios

[Leg End Reject]

In, all guesses! Some I can narrow down to the early or later half of a decade, but I'm not 100% on any of them.

[jp liz v1]

I listening over and over the songs I like forgetting the aim of the game guess the year

[Wichita Lineman]

That's really tough.

Spoon ahoy Maybe mid table is still possible if I can do better in the later stuff!

[cee_jay]

That's a relief with Wonderwall, It was the first one I filled on, but almost talked myself out of it as I was convinced Don't Speak was the same year.

[quickbeam]

Imagine was a difficult one, because didn't it re-enter the charts when he was shot? I was lucky to get that one on the nose.

Beatles finished in 1970, Imagine came out the next year

Yeah, but it was released a few times, hence why it was difficult.

Ah, I was so confused by that I really though it was 1980 ish - maybe that's why I thought that!

[Kol]

I didnt really think about re-releases, wasn't trying to add any trick questions in there. Apologies.

Will post the rest shortly.

Oh I don't mind, it makes sense that you are only looking for originals - I have no clue about anything pre 90s
