90. It's The End Of The World as we know it by R.E.M. 1987

Writing this article I've realised I'm going to have to get myself a time line together. What year did the real Lizard Lounge end?
Anyway, throughout the 90's the Lizard Lounge was pretty much packed every night. Thursday to Saturday crowds would dance to a whole smorgasbord of musical delights which ranged from Killing in the Name of... to Kyle to The Gambler. Our DJs were fearless and were there to entertain. And it worked so well.
It was also a friendly vibe. One girl said to me once that it was the only club in town that you could go on your own to and feel comfortable.
After 10 years however the numbers started to drop a little. The Union Hotel in which the club was situated (which was run down and needed a overhaul) decided not to just tart up the place but actually revamp it and make it upmarket. That was the end of the Lizard Lounge.

We celebrated with a final night that saw about 600 people in a club that was licensed for 200. It was the end of the world as we knew it. This was the theme song for the night. A truly great song that was constant on my DJ list from the moment it came out.
