Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 35

Here's my weekly look at the Top 30 from 26 years ago. The plan is for these posts to go out at 17:30 on a Sunday.

Here is the Top 40 in full.

I've decided against repetition from previous weeks moving forward so will only feature the records I'm reviewing for the first time. I also won't repeat the reviews from the Top 20 in 1999 Reviewed posts.

Once again my opinions are inevitably going to differ from other people, but I'm not trying to convince anyone something is good or rubbish, I'm simply giving my opinion.

So this is the records new to the top 30 from this week in 1999 with my verdict on each record:

26. Mercury Rev - Goddess On A Hiway

Mercury Rev were a band I remember a lot of people at university were into but I'd never heard of them myself. Now that I am familiar with their music I really don't get what the fuss was all about. I guess we all have our individual tastes.

Verdict - Rubbish

If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 14.5/30, or 47%. We get this score a lot.
