Mine is Atmosphere by Joy Division.

I'm going to make a playlist out of the answers I get. Hope no one minds that. ❤

You've just given me a big dose of 90s nostalgia there. It's been years since I heard that. I went listen on Spotify but only the original is on there. The Sexual Healing remix really changes that song for the better. (It's on YouTube fyi)

Listening on YouTube right now!
thanks for this thread OP!

You're welcome ❤
I was soooo into 90s soul/R&B/New Jack Swing. Plus British stuff by Sylvia Tella and AKA.

I loved AKA! Warning was a very underrated track. It still gets played at many house parties in Manchester and was huge on pirate radio station Buzz fm.

Enola Gay by OMD

And for the last couple of years The Borders by Sam Fender. In fact, anything by Sam Fender.

Also, You don't have to be a star by Billy Davis Jr & Marilyn McCoo - it reminds me of dancing in the dining room with my mum and sister when we were little!

NigelWithTheBrie79 · 06/12/2022 17:30

Oh and as for Sylvia Tella 'In a Special Way' is also a firm favourite. Don't know anyone that doesn't get up for that one. That's gone off Spotify though. Grrr.

Seventeen going under by Sam Fender

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
America - Simon and Garfunkel

America is such a beautiful song, brings a tear to my eye sometimes.
I would add Cosmic Love by Florence & the Machine, and the theme to Detectorists by Johnny Flynn. Also, very randomly, Run With Us, the theme from The Raccoons. 😁
