What is THE definitive 90s song?

[IntelligentInputDarling]

For @Doggymummar 😂

And for purposes of balance...

What, for you, is the ultimate 90s tune?
Again, it might not be your favourite, but what song embodies that decade in your opinion?

Everything I Do (I Do It For You) perhaps? 😆

Oasis - Live Forever

Live Forever. Wonderwall.

Another vote for Common People. It's the pop in Brit Pop, it's got that sarky, cynical Gen X vibe, you can dance your tits off to it.

Whigfield Saturday Night

Can I have two please? - N17 and A Woman's Heart

Came on to say that! ☺️

Oasis Wonderwall
Britney - Hit me baby

Too many songs to pick from! A small selection from my own tastes, each one sending me right back to the 90s.

Champagne Supernova - Oasis
Coffee & TV - Blur
Teardrop - Massive Attack
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Do What You Like - Take That
Ready To Go - Republica
Stupid Girl - Garbage
Firestarter - The Prodigy
Anything on the Buffy TVS soundtrack album!

the one and only by Chesney Hawkes

Independent Love Song by Scarlet
Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica

Cigarettes and Alcohol by Oasis
Ordinary World by Duran Duran
Ebenezer Goode by The Shamen
It's Like That by Jason Nevins
Rhythm of the Night by Corona(?)
Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap
Anything by the Verve!

And so many more.

Faithless - Insomnia

Yeah I agree with Common People. Also 'Don't look back in anger' by Oasis.

Gala Freed From Desire
Oasis Don't Look Back In Anger
And possibly deeply uncool but Mmmbop by Hanson always takes me straight back to the long, hot summer of 1997.

So long as you remember to raise your arms above your head at the end of the intro 😆.

If I had to pick one I think I'd probably pick either Wonderwall or Don't Look Back in Anger

Here We Go Again by Stakka Bo.

Better Off Alone

Thought of another that instantly transports you back:

Here Comes the Hotstepper - Ini Kamoze

I'm really struggling that some of these are from the 90s!!

I love that in early and mid 90s there were 2 very distinctive styles, dance and indie rock. I was a grunge girl and hated dance but funnily enough now it's the dance that evokes the strong nostalgic feelings, the indie stuff feels dated. So I've had to divide mine into the two genres.

Early 90s

• smells like teen spirit, Nirvana v Rhythm is a dancer, Snap

Mid 90s
Common People v Set you free, N trance

Late 90s - mostly bubble gum pop, and pretty awful. Most definitive for me probably Angels by Robbie Williams.

There are different genres for me.

Early 90s - Adamski - Killer. Depeche Mode - enjoy the silence. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. Madonna - Like a Prayer
Mid 90s - Blur - Girls and Boys. Suede - Animal nitrate. Radiohead - Creep.

Dance 90s - Offshore - Chicane. Delirium -Silence.

REM - Nightswimming

Cher do you believe

You’ve got the love by the source candy staton.

Me too. But I think Wonderwall is probably the key one for most.
