I loved summer of 69

And Chesney Hawkes One and Only

I'm a trance and hard house girl at house but have guilty pleasures. Mainly related to memories with my Hall mates going to the students union dressed in togas, school disco etc. Bloody brilliant.

Oh the garage 😍
Altho I was a student early/mid 90s so was really too old by 2000!
What a great list of tunes so far

ThePug · 22/01/2022 21:56

DH has contributed the remix of I wish I Was A Little Bit Taller

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 21:58

Bastard android update on my tablet is interrupting my nostalgia 😑

Iio rapture was playing in Malta when I went with my best friend in 2000. Way before it hit the clubs in the UK. We had such good times.

I was such a party animal and loved every bloody minute

@amy2021

My roommate in halls played Nelly and Kelly on repeat for hours to the point I haven't been able to listen to it for nearly two decades!
So did mine! Maybe we were in the same corridor!
InvalidCrumb · 22/01/2022 21:58

Freestyler.... rock the microphone
Totally addicted to bass...

LivingDeadGirlUK · 22/01/2022 22:00

It was peak nu-metal in 2001 so Linkin park - in the end, slipknot - wait and bleed and Machine heads cover of message in a bottle.

I also liked a rave back then and saw Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Dave Pearce amoung others.

Was an ace decade :D

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 22:01

I used to disgust my hall mates by snubbing the r n b and cheesy floors of the glues and going straight to the dance music section but then we'd meet up somewhere and not care what the music was by that stage. I went out 5 days a week 🙃

All of these plus Reach for the Stars by S Club 7. Ain't no party like an S Club Party!

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 22:01

Glues? No. Clubs

RAINSh0wers · 22/01/2022 22:02

This is definitely my uni era! The songs that stand out -
Pussy cat dolls
Hammertime
Outkast Hey Ya
Farman Scoop - Engine number 9 (reminds me of every single night out at uni!)
Darkness - I believe in a thing called love (freshers week anthem)

I’d love to go back and do a uni night out now, cheep bottles of Reef and apple sourz shots and no hangover the next day!

Nomorebored · 22/01/2022 22:02

Roger Sanchez Another Chance
Supermen Lovers Starlight
Nelly Hot in Herre
Jakarta American Dream

The first thing that came to mind was 'dancing in the moonlight'. I remember seeing toploader when at uni. So must have been around 2000.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 22:05

Oh and the drum n bass night where DH and I first met. Skibadee, what a legend. Less said about that night the better 😆

Most of the above are older than early 2000? More like mid to late? I remember commuting to my second job listening to artic monkeys. So must have been 2005+.
I'm not know for my memory though Grin.

Youngatheart00 · 22/01/2022 22:05

I miss Hed Kandi nights in the mid 2000s. Glam but before it all became about Instagram and posing. And just awesome mixed disco tunes. And LOTS of glitter!!

Ifonlyidknownthen · 22/01/2022 22:07

Blue (da ba dee)
Crazy frog
Take on me by A1
Steps songs

Fatman scoop - put your hands up
