Favourite 90’s song

[SourTimesPortishead]

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…

We need another Mumsnet playlist on Spotify 😂 I listen to the one compiled on another thread a fair bit.

It’s this one.

Should have concluded that with

Rock is my first love, but for a come down, you need some chill out!

And for some naff - All Saints /Spice Girls and TLC - Waterfalls.

Faithless - Insomnia.

Yes, that's the one. it starts with three seconds of rain, then the thunderclap, then the keyboards come in.

Also the bit in the middle when the beat suspends and the rain and thunderclaps come in and it's just the vocal. Then the beat drops again and.....ohhhh shivers

One Ecstacy, it came very close to a religious experience, that song

Agreed even without the E. Even at the tender age of 18 I could see the way my life was going, and if anyone was not going to come out of a bad trip it was me 🤣 never touched drugs for that reason!

Came on to say this. I only need to hear the first few bars and I'm back at the school disco in my Adidas gazelles snogging James Marshall 😍

Thread of the Year OP, thanks

Music has an almost physical place in my memories of growing up and the 90s were my formative years. Christ I miss them.

Songs that make the ache of nostalgia almost overwhelming include, for me -

Hedonism, Skunk Anansie
Sophie B Hawkins, Damn I wish I was your lover
JX There's nothing I won't do
Beach ball, Naline and Kane
Dario G, Sunchyme
Pulp, Sorted for Es and Whizz - hence my username. The lyrics are so so true!

So many more to add a reckon

Ten Crack Commandments -Notorious B.I.G

Doll Parts - Hole

Jeez just the opening chords give me goosebumps. Love this

Ooh can I ask where you watched that?

YABU to make me choose one-
but N-Trance Set You Free. I immediately feel like I’m 18.

So many of these and I could add loads more if I could remember anything else.

But definitely anything by James, my favourites are probably Laid, Born of Frustration and She's a Star.

I'm going to be adding a lot of these to my Apple Music playlist for sure though.

I've been having fun listening to some of my favourite 90s bands on our Alexa when I'm making dinner. Stereophonics and the Manics have made a good few appearances.

Soul 2 Soul Get a life

Faithless, Insomnia

What I do loved about being out then was even as a drinker only (was way too scared of drugs but man, I'm still curious as hell!) no one batted an eyelid if you just got up and danced on your own for ages. Probably coz everyone was off their tits but even so. No judgement and no hassle.
