What was YOUR best year for raving?

[Mig]

92 for me - the Hooligan X was in full effect. Quote from the man MC Lee whilst mcing to Richie Havens:-

"Come on Scotland - Going back to your roots
Scotland Roots
Bonnie Prince Charlie Roots
Robert the Bruce Roots etc etc

FAAAAYERRRR!!!!!!"

What the f**k??? good times though, that shout will always stick in my mind, we couldn't dance for laughing but he was the man and mr paterson always the played the quality choonage. Followed them up and down the country quite a bit in the years gone by. Aaah memories

[wildpitch]

91 for me I reckon, top action tunewise and with the other, as most of you have said. Tough choice to be honest though as the two or three years either side of that were wicked too, and they all kind of blend a bit.

I can't decide between 1988, 1989 and 1990, they're all fantastic years for me, if only I could revist them..

Well I did the other night, in a spiritual, special kinda way, but I won't divulge anymore


Edit:

I voted 1990, fuck it, M.V.I.T.A were ace for me in 1990, that's done it for me

It has to be 1991, this year changed my life for good, in 92 we moved to holland and partied with spiral tribe in the squats, two years later we moved back to england, everything had changed. But definately 91 the whole scene was rocking, liverpool, warrington and manchester, people new how to party!!! everything was fresh and hedonism ruled happy days

1996 For me when i started going
MAXIMES Back to the old skool

Geez, what a hard thread to answer.


Id have to pick 1991 or 1992 as THE era......thats when the real tunes were coming out. and the happy carefree times with my brother and his mates getting our minds into some serious choonage and loving the whole 'zing' about back then.

However, seeing as I didnt 'rave' as I was too young - late 1994 should be my difinative 'clubbing' days at the 'ol Angels nitespot, but Im tempted to my rebirth of house in 1995 where BT, Grace 'Skin on Skin', the rerelease of Bedrock and stuff like Blue Amazon No other love were rocking the place. Simply Breathtaking.

Ooh, I cant decide! Arghghgh!.

I voted 90, i missed alot from the middle of 91 due to little patter of feet. Must admit I no it wasnt oldskool but I used to travel down to ingelmells with Dizstruxshon and I enjoyed that to even though the music was different. Even now I no it will never be the same as it was then, but I love going out with the peeps on here I love and respect alot of you and only wished you were all there when I first started cause that would of been ace .
