Best song of the 90s

DH and I had a few wines last night and fell down a YouTube rabbit hole listening to 90s music. We then got into a heated debate about what the best song of the 90s was.

My vote - Set You Free by NTrance

His vote - Live Forever by Oasis

For clarity, we were both mid teens during this decade.

What's your stand out song of the 90s?

Happy memories of that one!

And Nightcrawlers - push the feeling on.

Both annoyed my ex immensely. So clearly I was going to love them!

En Vogue - don’t let go

Insomnia by Faithless

Turn Around by Phats and Small was quite good. I also liked Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry and Life Is A Flower by Ace of Base.

Conversely, from the summer of 1998, I hated all that Fat Les Vindaloo World Cup shit. I'm not a football fan and I found it difficult to escape that scene on holiday in Corfu that year!

LunaHeather · 15/03/2021 21:15

So many great suggestions
I'm going to make a list

I won't add anything as I've not had a chance to read it. But listening to the Nightcrawlers now! 💃🏽

Brilliant choice.

Sally Cinnamon! (Could have been 89 but near enough!) Reminds me SO much of being a teenager in the summertime. Wearing baggy jeans, kissing boys, smoking, drinking snakebite & black 🙈 and just wanting to hang out with friends ALL the time.

Gina G - just a little bit

Was so certain we were going to win Eurovision that year, getting all excited along with Tez Wogan. Think it ended up coming second which is pretty amazing considering recent results!
I even got a white lace dress just like she wore in the video Grin

Agreed. He’s done some crackers.
Someone already mentioned Praise You. Ace song and video.

Has anyone said Gin Blossoms? My favourite was Found Out About You.
