I need to do my 80s list after this,well after RA does his 90s list sorry about that again, as it only has 880 songs at the moment need to find 120 more. I really need to sort out my 00s as well as I only have a top 200 for them at the moment.

i'm trying to get up to 500 for my 2000s list, but it involves painstakingly going through 10 years of my music collection as i don't have a chart!

*************************NUMBER ONE**********************
St Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Finally its complete and yes we have a indie dance song at number one and its also a cover version, arguably one of the best covers ever and the original by Neil Young isn't really by sort of thing, bit too hippyish. Also when I first heard this I never knew it even was a cover. Another indie anthem from my clubbing days, all the best indie nights would play this. This was one of the longest stayers in my chart ever spending a massive 26 weeks on my chart, only one song has come close to that in recent years and that was Glasvegas -Daddys Gone with 23 weeks on my chart. This track was orginally sung by Moira Lambert and not Sarah Cracknell, although Sarah still does a great version of it. The video for this track is very cheap and I cant believe how young looking everyone is in it. Just a beautiful amazing dance track. This track peaked at the shockily low #39!! Will add the video in a bit as YouTube is blocked on the train hehe

I preferred "You're In A Bad Way". Although looking up the chart record of OLCBYH it was a far smaller hit than I had thought. I remembered it being well in the top 40. Hm.
The problem with that one for me is I first heard it via The Mint Juleps' superb take...
...so the St Etienne version sounded a bit like a lot of records of that era - a standard other than the bog-standard house backing-by-numbers.
Trying to think what my favourite single of the 1990s is. The vaspod suggests the most listened-to is "Alison" by Slowdive, which might basically decide it.

I knew they had a version but I loved about the St Etienne version is the fact that it as well as being sung well, it was such a great record to dance to and was the background of my life for a few years. I only heard the Mint Juleps version on YouTube years later
The only Mint Juleps song I knew at the time was 'Every Kinda People' the Robert Palmer cover , it made my top 30.

Hawkins – Right Beside You 909 Sting – Fields Of Gold 910 SWV – Right Here - 7" Radio Edit 915 The Divine Comedy – National Express 916 Baby D – Let Me Be Your Fantasy 927 Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box 940 The Connells – '74-'75 945 Paul Weller - Sunflower 947 Barenaked Ladies – One Week 952 The Supernaturals – Smile 958 Santana – Smooth 959 Youssou N'Dour – 7 Seconds 961 Freak Power – Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out - Radio Mix 965 Divinyls – I Touch Myself 969 Robert Miles – Children (Dream Version) 970 Sarah McLachlan – Angel 978 Nine Inch Nails – Closer 979 Propellerheads Feat. Miss Shirley Bassey – History Repeating 985 Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – Into The Great Wide Open 989 Bloodhound Gang – Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Me? 993 Depeche Mode – Barrel Of A Gun 994 The Divine Comedy – Something for the Weekend 999 Warren G, Nate Dogg- Regulate 1000 Pet Shop Boys - Can You Forgive Her?
However I should add I excluded these three additional tracks as they made my Top 1000 of the 1980s (one subsequently re-released, and two re-recorded for newer labels, although I preferred the original less successful versions):
23 The La's – There She Goes 26 James - Sit Down 264 The House Of Love – Shine On
In addition, I reckon you have a handful of tracks which I would categorise as belonging to the 1980s (* made my Top 1000 countdown):
116 Pixies – Where Is My Mind? 321 Depeche Mode – Personal Jesus * 617 The Beloved – The Sun Rising 792 Morrissey – The Last of the Famous International Playboys
and more which I have down as belonging to the 2000s (a number of which would doubtless make my Top 1000, which I have no plans to compile in the near future).
153 Foo Fighters – Breakout 181 The Music – Take The Long Road And Walk It 189 Wheatus – Teenage Dirtbag 205 Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication 472 Foo Fighters – Generator 512 Mint Royale – Don't Falter 556 Elliott Smith – Son Of Sam 608 Badly Drawn Boy – Disillusion 627 Moby – Natural Blues 647 Mansun – I Can Only Disappoint U 658 Death In Vegas – Aisha 690 Ian Brown – Golden Gaze 707 Muse – Sunburn 715 Moby – Porcelain 728 Foo Fighters – Next Year 846 Basement Jaxx – Where's Your Head At 923 Matchbox Twenty – Bent 938 Death In Vegas – Dirge
I should add 17 of your Top 1000 make my Top 20, but tantalisingly my #1 song of the 1990s is absent from your countdown.

There are a few errors in that top 1000 that I corrected as I went along, I still don't think the list I published is completely right.
wow your number one not on my list, do the act have another song of my list?, I cant believe I would miss something you love so much unless it is quite obscure.

No this act does not have another track on your countdown, and the track is far more well known than the track which topped my 1980s countdown.
