Lesser Known 90s Song that You Like

248 replies

MuddledMadge · 26/01/2024 11:58

Following on from the success of the 80s song thread, I thought I'd start one for 90s songs.

I'm thinking about songs that aren't really played much now, but also songs that maybe didn't get the attention they deserved at the time even though they're brilliant songs.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's suggestions. Smile

I moved down to London when I was 17/18 so 97/98. I worked in a cinema (an independent artsy one, not an Odean) with the girl singer from Kenickie and someone who was going out with someone from St Etienne. I was massively into trip hop and I only really knew She’s on the Phone. I don’t think they were too impressed with me, this uncultured, uncool northerner they were forced to spend time with.

Ooh! I love She’s on the Phone!

I'd like to add "Trouble" by Shampoo. Every time I hear it I feel 19 again
