I've been compiling this for the last few weeks and have decided to post it here (along with links to the videos).
1994 was a watershed year in terms of my taste in music as it was the year where I started to move away from dance/rap/pop towards indie/rock music (it's also the year I became a teenager, which may have been a factor!) and there are a number of songs in this list that were a key part of that.
I compiled the shortlist for this chart by going through the archive on the Official Charts website. There will have been some great music released that didn't chart but chances are I didn't hear them back then unless they got a brief play on The Chart Show. For the sake of authenticity, I've kept to songs I already knew rather than seek out unheard tracks. Whilst the list is based primarily on what I think of the songs now, the impact they had on me at the time is also a factor and the top end of the chart probably wouldn't look massively different if I'd compiled it then.
So here is my top 100 of 1994 (100-11):
