Big in 1991; rave anthems, largely-forgotten house tunes with piano breakdowns, the early beginnings of Britpop, ageing 70s/80s icons final chart hits... and lots of cheesy pop. As a schoolgirl in Surrey at the time, my iPod collection from 1991 mainly consists of the latter, however had I been a decade older I would have turned my nose up at the pop stuff like I do with the current chart fodder I avoid and have been driving around the M25 every weekend looking the secret rave location to dance to Altern 8 and Prodigy with my glowstick and white glove (...I was born too late)
