1993 or 2007? There's 14 years between each of this week's contenders - so probably 2 very distinct clubbing generations.. but which year had the best music? 7pm Sunday on KISSTORY

@AndiDurrant Lovely trancey goodness from 2000, but Together could take on everything on its own, and has KLF & LFO waiting in the wings to finish it. 1990 by an absolute mile

1995 vs 2005 On this week's show we're doing 2 years which are only a decade apart, but have such a massive change in culture and technology between them.. which has the best tracks though? 7pm KISSTORY

@AndiDurrant 1998 for me, not a huge amount in it...Greece 2000, Energy 52 swing it anyway, but Afrika Bambaataa 💔

@AndiDurrant Completely missed this last weekend. Such a tough one to call...88 sets off quick, then runs out of puff, but gets a 2nd wind to power home... difficult to ignore Chicane, Darude & Veracocha, but it's just 88 for me

I think this is the 1st time I can honestly say it was a draw.. a 50/50 split for 88 and 99 as the favourites. Listen again links below if you need something to get you over the hill into the bank holiday: RAYO: hellorayo.co.uk/kisstory/shows… Mixcloud: mixcloud.com/andidurrant/th…

1999 vs 1988 The last year of the greatest ever musical decade.. or the second summer of love? 2 absolute heavyweight years on this week's show, but which is the best? The comments are open..... 👀

@AndiDurrant I reckon one thing you can do to improve 2006 is replace it with more songs from 1994... just a thought 😂

1994 vs 2006 '94 is obviously a big one, but I've been a bit rude about 2006 in the past. It's got some REALLY good classics.. it's just that there isn't that MANY of them.. anyone going for that over the earlier year this week though? 7pm tonight KISSTORY if you're about 🙂

@terrybnd That's beautiful Terry, even my poor colour blind eyes can see how vibrant that is. We had a belter over by Ling Fell before the clag came in

@AndiDurrant Yep, exactly that, 2003 is decent, but blown away by a wave of big hitters from 91

1991 or 2003? 2003 is decent.. but let's not pretend there isn't a "correct" answer this week.. right?

@AndiDurrant 2002 ending strongly, but 1989... my word... what a collection of memory making tracks, takes it by a bit distance

2002 or 1989? I'm genuinely interested to see the comments this week.. I'd guess more of us will have been clubbing in 2002, but can it beat the level of legendary anthems in '89 from the very early days of dance? As always, we'll play the whole lot from 7pm tonight on KISSTORY

@AndiDurrant Happy Birthday week Andi. 96 by quite some distance for me, mainly for Stamp...2009 is ok, but it's bringing a sparkler to a banger fight

1996 or 2009? This is a rhetorical question obviously 😂 As it's my birthday this week I'm doing one of my favourites years - 1996. Although 2009 is pretty decent as well to be fair. Which one are you picking? 7pm tonight KISSTORY

@AndiDurrant 93 for me...there's a few stone cold slammers in 04 that made me have a little think about it, but 93 with Jaydee, Goodmen, K-Klass just has the edge

1993 or 2004? I'm very aware that any 90s year almost always wins, but I feel like there's a chance for 2004 here - was a great year with some BIG records.. what are we thinking? 7pm Sunday KISSTORY

@AndiDurrant One of your closest so far... but KLF, LFO, Together, Adamski, 808 State & Orbital...1990 just has a bit too much going for it
