Cheers for reply but wont bother as ive seen youtube playlists and some forum sites etc for stuff and its waste of time,boring effort. I hate the ones that say stuff like 'anyone can be goth with some Hot Topic (... Its a clothing chain) money and emo make-up. This isnt real goth like it was back in my day ' then i click on and theres no playlist in YT commentors page of goth stuff or anything else-, just blank !?!? 😵 😱 💀
Ive got Virgin book of british hit singles for uk pop/mainstream charts. Singles listed in alphabetical order,band name,highest chart position,year of release, to make vertical columns. Year of release is in last column which makes it easier putting a ruler vertically in that column to see last two digits of year, to check decade then colour code it. Took ages just doing that !! I'd settle for that format if cant find the prefered one mentioned in my question. Format looks like this...
Singles name. Band name. Highest chart position. Year of release
Singles name.Band name. Highest chart position. Year of release.
Martin C. Strong books maybe format of bands in alphabetical order, then potted history of band then other stuff; too clumsy. Got an indie book , indie hits 1980-1989 by barry lazell but only lists ep-lp-albums. Lover speaks - no more i love yous, not released as single. Not mentioned by author as would-be single. book seems to be incomplete- missing stuff out as not many bands in it, noticed ep's- albums missing from couple of bands i already know of. Cant be bothered going through all tracks on every album. If band's not on indie music label then not included in book-author says so in the forward- even if song sounds indie-alternative !?!? 😵 😱 💀
listening to sinead o'connor- mandinka, number 17. Xtc -nigel, number 17 too !! Police- synchronicity 2 (number 17) sounds bit indiepop but on major label probably, so maybe wouldnt get into indie charts.
Also,... Source: wikipedia ( with sources of info referenced in its articles),
Thompson twins- we are detective. Doctor doctor ;example of one tune each from two albums(they did more albums).
