My Top Thirteen 1990

The start of the decade saw me with two kids under 18-months, which meant I didn't have the same opportunities to listen to music. Suddenly all the cool music from the previous two decades got booted out by tuneless techno-drivel and repetitive hip-hop with lyrics which could have been written by five-year-olds. And it just got worse as the decade played out.
