Best song of the 90s

[InsideNumberNine]

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?

Love 90s music

Glorybox by Portishead
Rid of Me by PJ Harvey
She bangs a drum Stone Roses
Loaded by Primal Scream
Alright by Supergrass

And I do love Pulp but I'd choose Do You Remember the First Time

Linger by The Cranberries
Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
The Drugs Don’t Work by The Verve
Sorted For Es and Whizz by Pulp
La La Love You by Pixies
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
If I Can’t Change Your Mind by Bob Mould
Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack
You Got The Love - The Source ft Candi Staton
Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays

Prodigy songs wouldn’t sound out of place now.

I love 90s music and feel almost sad listening to it-my mum was alive, I was a teenager and the world seemed unfair and completely attainable all at once.

the whole of Exit Plant Dust by the Chemical Brothers

what an album

Anyone can play guitar by Radiohead. God I thought I was deep singing along to that...

Oh and Rocks by Primal Scream

Sheela-Na-Gig by PJ Harvey

The Cranberries - Zombie was a favourite

I can't be the only one who used to love happy hardcore?!
Children of the night
Forever young
I wanna be a hippy 🙊🤣

Any of these just take me straight back to youth club 'raves' I loved the 90's

The Masterplan 💚

The La’s - there she goes

Surprised it hasn’t come up yet!

James.

Groove Armada - By the River

Atlaspine I love that song!

Ooh Basement Jaxx - Red alert

James

oh yes. Laid was magnificent

So many brilliant songs, but throwing in:

You got the love - The Station ft Candi Staton
No Diggity - Blackstreet
Bittersweet Sympathy - The Verve
Pony - Ginuwine

But I do think the answer should be Unfinished Sympathy. It's a masterpiece.

Too many, lots already mentioned.

Alanis Morisette has to get a mention, that album was played to death.

And for the best song, if not a personal favourite, Nothing Compares To You must be a contender.

Ina Kamozie- Hotsteppa and Montell Jordan- This is how we do it (such an absolute tune!)

Mmmbop

Common People by Pulp.
Nightswimming by REM
Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead

Nightswimming is a poem, it’s just beautiful. The album it’s from, Automatic for the People, is my desert island album. There are so many songs on that album that I love that if I was forced to choose only one to take with me that is what I would pick.

Ahh this is making me feel painfully nostalgic and old.

Killer - Adamski
Angels - Robbie!

I love so many of the songs mentioned. My ring tone is faithless - insomnia which gets people raving when my phone rings in the office

ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen

Carte Blanche - Veracoch
Hold that sucker down - OT Quartet
