Aibu unreasonable to ask you your most favourite 90’s song? Something you go back to again and again especially when you’re drunk or high…

N-Trance - Set You Free every time.

This. The original mix that starts with the thunder clap is actually better than sex! And I've never been high but drunk many times.......

Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Self Destruct.
Or basically anything from The Downward Spiral, it changes day by day!

Sour Times

I guess the user name is a bit of a giveaway

I think for me it has to be Roads even though it's a bit depressing

Manic Street Preachers - A design for life

Take that - back for good
Lighthouse family - High

I am sure there are lots more

Tigofigo · 15/06/2023 14:13

Born to make you happy - bit disturbing really given Britney's life!

Now listening to N Trance. CHOON

"Yes - Mcalmont and Butler"

Yup. I can't believe someone said Cornflake Girl. It's in my top 3 hated songs.

Brimful of Asha by Cornershop and There’s Nothing I Won’t Do by JX

Oh my God that JX track is the one. Absolute chills.

Massive Attack unfinished sympathy - my absolute all time #1 and it still sounds so fresh despite being over 30 years old.
There was a documentary a while ago about the whole making of the track, the distorted strings and composition, really good.

AlphaAlpha · 15/06/2023 14:23

@SamW98 Ooh Gabriel is a tune! Proper sunshine track, on Spotify now 😎
