All Time Top-30 Productions: Stock Aitken Waterman

[@szucsattila4035]

Stock Aitken Waterman! Thanks for your work! The '80s would have been poorer without them!

[@cantforgetyou]

I've got all their albums, cd singles, remixes, etc. I love the sound of S.A.W. It was the sound of my life. Most of the time I had a happy childhood, good memories, lots of fun, lovely parents, nice friends and family. No computers, smartphones, internet. Life was simple, easy and warm.

[@edtv2365]

wow, Stock, Aitken and Waterman basically made the 80's. They made EVERY i still listen too. Amazing!

[@ExplorHits]

True, they were a massive pop machine!

[@brettpatrick6582]

The first song I heard from SAW was 'This Time I Know It's For Real' when I was about 13/14 years old and only recently (within the last year) I started looking into more of SAW's hits and wow. I've always loved 80s music but there's something about SAW's music that just makes me incredibly happy

[@minetteh1001]

Thank you for the music SAW

[@Damian-sn2sx]

Love them eternally and loyalty!!

[@MinekEzQM]

Three lads who rick-rolled the entire world.

[@MrHossa1303]

The best producer team of the 80s, an absolute hit machine Symbol „Von der Community überprüft“

[@AJSax0n]

3 people that we all owe so much to.

[@Sitbon08]

There music brought me so much joy when I was a teenager.

[@ExplorHits]

It sure did!

[@Maik_Budweg]

Thanks for your work and upload. I have a good remember to SAW. It was in my 80's time :)

[@ExplorHits]

Thanx for watching it :o)

[@sebom141]

Thanks a lot for doing this great work! really great producers I thought they have only produced, Minogue, Astley, Donovan and that's all!

[@lanalana1646]

A product of its time - a short century of electronic music! I liked it when I was young, but now it seems naive and too simple to me! ! A little nostalgia for youth! !I prefer opera, musicals and classics with good music performed by professional orchestras and good strong voices! Electronic music with a short century, however, thanks!

[@ExplorHits]

Our musical taste changes as we grow older but I think we'll always have a special place in our heart to the music we grew up on. Usually the teen years has a huge impact with lots of memories and scenarios we can experience only in these years, so the music becomes a part of the things we went threw. Thats why when you're older new music doesn't feel special and It's hard to connect to it. At least It's like that for me, maybe It's way different for others.

[@hamiltonazevedo488]

The intro song to the video (Sandra - Innocent Love), produced by Michael Cretu, is also lovely.

[@ExplorHits]

Indeed! Michael Cretu is a genius

[@Alb_01]

Better The Devil You Know by Kylie is my No.1 The song, the arrangement, Kylie's vocals, everything is perfect on this SAW anthem.

[@Damian-sn2sx]

Absolutely agree

[@timge8340]

1.The Reynolds Girls I rather jack 2.Mel & Kim That´s the way it is 3.Kylie Minogue The Word is out 4.Hazel Dean They say it´s gonna rain 5. Mandy Smith Positiv reaction 6.Donna Summer This time i know its for real 7.Sinitta Cross my heart 8. Rick Astley My arms keep missng you 9.Princess After the love has gone 10.Bananarama Venus

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

#2, #4 and #6 are all in my top 5, I think. I would say along with I Heard A Rumour and Whenever You Need Somebody. Not sure in which order though. Probably the ZULU mix of They Say It's Gonna Rain at #1.

[@nigeldunwell81]

Nobody liked the Reynolds girls many pwl artists said they were vile

[@johnmelling9950]

SAW were music genius.

[@fabianminogue]

los recuerdos mas maravillosos de mi adolescencia! Kylie!!! 😍😍

[@BossySwan]

Some bangers for sure

[@越前くらげ-t9o]

i love this video!!!!!!!

[@ExplorHits]

Thank you! I'm happy you like it :o)

[@masp441]

I heard a rumour from Bananarama Rick Astley "Never gonna give you up", I should be so lucky from Kylie Minogue, too me theese 3 song represent the true SAW sound in the 80s.

[@tonym7194]

I think the writing/production of Kylie's Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi and Donna Summer's Love's About To Change Your Heart were 2nd to none. Should've been on list instead of Sealed With A Kiss, Ferry Aid or Band Aid II.

[@nigeldunwell81]

King rick!

[@Heidenheim75]

Why was the Intro made with a song from Sandra, written by Michael Cretu?

[@ExplorHits]

I wanted some good dramatic music for the intro :o)

[@Heidenheim75]

@@ExplorHits ❤️💛💙💜💚😃

[@FreeWeho]

Another great artist writer team

[@CONDEMIME]

Woow those guys did everything in fact 😂

[@SirChristopherGorton]

I wish Cliff Richard made the list, with I just don't have the heart. If I don't count BAND AID 2.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

yes some of their songs are undeniably catchy but much of their work sounds similar. It was far more successful in the U.K. than in the U.S.

[@KristVladic]

Tam tam tam tam tam tam tam boogie boogie.

[@realisrare8310]

😍❤️😊

[@splintercast8092]

Roadblock really should have been in there.

[@joshfrederick5059]

Where is Shocked by Kylie? What Do I Have To Do? Step Back In Time? I Wouldn't Change A Thing???

[@ExplorHits]

Then it would turn into a Kylie chart :D I've made a seperate video for Kylie's hits, she had too many to include them in a best of SAT.

[@Ayreonozz1]

Nice video but you missed “Tears on my pillow” It was their last n*1 entry they had

[@ExplorHits]

I've tried to include it but youtube kept blocking it, so after 2 attempts I had to remove it sadly.

[@Ayreonozz1]

@@ExplorHits Thanks for your response. No worries, you did a great job with this video. Keep it up! :)

[@ExplorHits]

@@Ayreonozz1 Thank you so much

[@dan-y-el6093]

God save the S.A.W

[@turbokrapfen]

OMG I've just been rickrolled

[@ExplorHits]

lmao :D

[@petergasper6593]

The Locomotion is not as good as Locomotion....sorry SAW. But BTDYK is iconic...as is Venus, NGGYU, Say I'm Your Number 1...and so many more. Good times. Great memories

[@hgonz14]

I think Kylie did Locomotion before she got with S.A.W.

[@locego]

and ... Got to be certain??

[@ruicastro7930]

You should had done top 40 or 50.

[@ExplorHits]

It was originally a Top-40 vid, but KZbin blocked so many songs I had to settle for a Top-30 videomix.

[@ST-nz4bf]

Great pop music for its time !! But the production all sound the same IMO

[@funkmasters]

That was the whole point of their style , love it or hate it .

[@discogareth]

I like Sonia, but higher than Better The Devil You Know? No mam!

[@ExplorHits]

I compiled it by their charts success, so Sonia song was more successful than Kylie's BTDYN (tho just as you I love kylie's song much more!)

[@rossmaxx]

Where is never gonna give you up

[@ExplorHits]

Watch til the end :o)

[@rossmaxx]

Got it

[@rossmaxx]

But shoulda put it on no 30 just to rickroll people. 1st is good but people wont see it

[@ExplorHits]

@@rossmaxx lol :D Well this channel is meant for people who are really into music, if someone's watching a Top-30 countdown and can't be bothered to find out what's number 1, then I guess my channel won't appeal to them anyway :o)

[@rossmaxx]

@@ExplorHits i dint thought of that.

[@MetalMan73100]

Stock/Aitken/Waterman were the nadir of the 1980s. I liked a lot of their stuff back in 1987 and 1988, but it has aged horribly.

[@ExplorHits]

I agree, many of their productions didn't stood the test of time sadly.

[@Oysterblade84]

@@ExplorHits Bullshit. SAW sounds much better than the low-energy rnb garbage will have today.

[@ExplorHits]

@@Oysterblade84 I agree with that aspect, if you compare nowdays music to any of SAW productions, SAW songs will sound like masterpieces. Nowdays music has no soul, it's more of a fast-consumed product that you're getting tired of after a week of listening.

[@Oysterblade84]

@ExplorHits Today's music seems to be all about sex and nothing else. From Drake, Rhianna, Chris Brown to Arianna Grande, Zara Larrsson and Lizzo, I want music to be about the rhythms, leads and bass and percussion aswell, not just the sexual lyrics. SAW productions have aged great!

[@Heidenheim75]

I think the euro dance trash didn't stand the test of time. The hitfactory songs are still brilliant!

[@jounmiteeraizens_yt6271]

I got copyrighted by them for playing Rick Ashley never gonna give you up

[@ExplorHits]

I get them many times, I sample 5-6 secs only and get a block, while I'm seeing the exact same songs on KZbin in full! (not on the official artists pages, by random users!). I have no idea how KZbin works it that regard tbh.

[@eversut1]

Why do all their songs sound the same, almost 1 (one) song.

[@ExplorHits]

Well, we can't argue with success people loved their productions even if they were very similar.

[@brettpatrick6582]

Would you say that's a bad thing? Because that's exactly why I love their productions so much, they're just happy and pure pop which is exactly what I look for in music

[@robertsergiobuonis5848]

HAZELL DEAN IS VERY GOOD BUT ALL THE OTHERS ARE EITHER FAR TOO CAMP OR FAR TOO ANNOYING!
