Any one else with a favourite song from the nineties that no one else remembers?

[Specksofwhiteallaround]

Mine is Operaa House by Malcolm McLaren. I spent many a happy hour being driven through New Zealand as a kid torturing my parents by singing along to this and Aria on Air but no one I’ve meet seems to know of it. Still absolutely adore it as an adult but sadly no better at singing it.

What do you want from me by Monaco love this song

Great thread! I'm a bit older so my time was the 80s, and one mentioned further upthread, Alice by Sisters of Mercy, is from 1982. I used to dance to it in goth clubs around that time.

Some really good picks already, but not mentioned yet is Cannonball by The Breeders. I loved it then and I love it still.

Roxette were the first band I saw live. Their album Tourism was my favourite. She had an amazing vocal range.

Wilson Phillips - Hold on (another girl band)

(Will nobody save) Louise by The Man from Delmonte - I’ve not listened to it for years.

@TheYearOfSmallThings Love One and One, I was so sad when Robert Miles passed away 😔

I came on to say the same, my absolute favourite song

Fantastic song ,off to YouTube.....💃

@CocteauTwin I like Temple of Love by The Sisters of Mercy, maybe I need to look up more of their songs.
Got a lot of new songs to listen to tomorrow from this thread and a lot of ones I’d forgotten to enjoy again.

I was listening to that in my support worker's car yesterday!
Had completely forgotten about Dear Jessie. Just played it and my brain still knew all the words.

Re Wilson Phillips, I don't see them as a girl band but as extensions of their more famous parents from The Beach Boys and Mamas and Papas.

Alisha's Attic are Brian Poole's daughters from the Tremeloes, and Chesney Hawkes' father is also in the same band. Wonder whether they hungn out with each other?

Oh I loved the Levellers! I saw them live several times… i had t-shirts and all their albums ofcourse. They still tour , but they look so old. I am just afraid it won’t be the same as it was back then.

Songs that are not played so much on the radio today that I loved as a teen:

Oh Yeah! - Ash
Secret Garden - Bruce Springsteen
Stay - Lisa Loeb
Sunshine on a rainy day - Zoe

On a night shift with nothing to do but add a load of these little hits of nostalgia to my Spotify playlist. Thank you everyone!

I Am I Feel was a good forgotten tune by Alisha's Attic.

You are my people.

Anyone fancy a bit of Stripper Vicar?

My phone decided to randomly play placebo Nancy Boy the other day what a tuuuuune!

Kula Shaker. Where is Crispin Mills now. I'm off to fall down a wiki hole.

Close to you - Maxi Priest
Flying - Cast
Youre History - Shakespeare Sister (my favourite breakup song along with Yes- McAlmont & Butler) - must be played at full blast!

He’s on the phone by St Etienne. DD is 4 and obsessed with ye olde phone boxes, and every time she dashes into one, I always find myself humming “yes, ooh ooh, she never meant to call, she did anyway…”

I went to see Shakespeare's Sister back in 2019 and they were brilliant. They finished the gig with You're History.

Duke - So in Love With You

Oh and another one : Trash - Suede
I saw Brett Anderson at Isle of Whyte in the summer and he was fantastic.

Saturday evening (around 5pm?), ITV, Baywatch end credits, wonderful duet (not heard since) of the Hoff and Laura Branigan.

Alisha rules the world!

Oh this song...I love it so much.

Thought of a few more

Bitch - Meredith Brooks
Oh what a night - Clock (better than the original version imo)
Stranded - Lutricia Mcneal
