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?

Fools Gold, Stone Roses (technically 89 but it fits 90s more)
Freedom, George Michael
Unfinished Sympathy, Massive Attack
Set you Free, N-Trance
If, Janet Jackson

There are so many but these are ones that I still listen to often.

Dario G. Sunchyme. Both the song and video never fail to cheer me up.

Oh definitely this also! Total feel good song

I’m in agreement with the pp who said Blur - Girls and Boys. My absolute favourite song.

herethereandeverywhere · 06/03/2021 22:36

Yes - McAlmont & Butler

No feel good uplifting record like it

Blondiney · 06/03/2021 22:36

Creep, Radiohead

Babymamamama · 06/03/2021 22:36

Beetlebum by Blur.

Swingoutsistersledge2 · 06/03/2021 22:39

I am the The One and Only . Chesney Hawkes. Hated it at the time but if it is played now I smile as it brings back great memories of being young on holiday in Ibiza

Bearsbearsbears40 · 06/03/2021 22:39

Ooh yes I love Beetlebum too @Babymamamama

TheVolturi · 06/03/2021 22:40

I love this thread! And also I loved Let Loose, Crazy for you gives me goosebumps 😂
One of my faves is Rhythm is a dancer.

JackieWeaveristheboss · 06/03/2021 22:40

There are so many. Has anyone mention Insomnia by Faithless? I bloody loved that song!

zigzagbetty · 06/03/2021 22:41

Oooh fabulous thread! I saw pulp at glasto singing common people when they replaced stone roses. Fecking amazing.

ChloeDecker · 06/03/2021 22:45

Beautiful Ones by Suede
I was friends with the son who owned Air Studios and got to meet the once. Lovely bunch!

Probably no one remembers them but I also loved Boy Wonder by Speedy. They played at Xfm’s launch party at the Astoria in London and I was hooked!

bitheby · 06/03/2021 22:45

Yes by McAlmont and Butler
Fall in Love with Me by Booth and the Bad Angel
Pretty much any song by The Bluetones

Patio by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci

I loved 90s music. Common People is a good shout.

Haggisfish · 06/03/2021 22:45

Longpigs. And wake up boo by boo radleys.

bitheby · 06/03/2021 22:46

Patio Song that was meant to say.

Wish it was still the 90s 😂

Sforsh49 · 06/03/2021 22:46

So, so many!

Prince - Gold
Salt n Peppa - Push it
Cranberries - Dreams
No Doubt - Don't speak
Shakespeare's sister - stay
Texas - I don't want a lover
Beautiful South - anything but A little time, Old Red Eyes is back, good as gold, don't marry her and your father and I (particularly love this one!)

"All that she wants" by Ace of Base

@Amrapaali

"All that she wants" by Ace of Base
That's my DHs most hated song ever. I don't know why. It amuses me to put it on. Mind you, I feel much the same about Barbie Girl.
rainbowninja · 06/03/2021 22:48

@saltandpepperchickenandchips OMG, Culture Club - Mr. Vain, clean forgot that song existed, absolute tune!

Katjolo · 06/03/2021 22:48

Cece Penniston- Finally, Kym Sims- Too blind to see, Faithless- Insomnia, N Trance- Set you free

Crissy83 · 06/03/2021 22:50

I love, love, love the 90s

Could be clever but just going to choose a proper anthem. Don't look back in anger

The soundtrack to so many amazing nights!

Katjolo · 06/03/2021 22:51

Prodigy- Out of Space

Crissy83 · 06/03/2021 22:51

@EggyPegg

I won't pick one. You can't make me.

But I will tell you that 'Alexa, play 90s pop' was one of the best things I ever discovered.

So many of the ones mentioned feature.

I'm going to do this immediately!!!
