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…

Thanks the see are ace! I love that Lemonheads one, Evan Dando is still pretty fit

Also loved Gin Blossoms, Hey Jelousy

Counting Crows, Mr Jones

Also most of Janet Jackson's Janet album was awesome. Very, very very sexy if you get me

I agree with 847arc 🤘

You Get What You Give

Birdhouse In Your Soul, The Might Be Giants.

Some amazing tracks here. Loved the 90s.

My first instinct is Dreams by The Cranberries, but if I think too hard there are too many so going to stick with that!

All I Need by Air/Beth Hirsch. In fact the whole Moon Safari album.❤

Yes!! Rarely heard these days. Me and DH bonded over this song when we first met, I knew some lyric he had been debating in his head, ah the innocence of pre-google days. We even played it at our wedding.

Loving this! Off to make a playlist and saunter down memory lane 😍

Just one?!!!

Ugh…. Well if I’m forced…. Wake up Boo by the Boo Radleys…. no…. Laid by James…. no no… Common People by Pulp… argh this is impossible!!!

Common People by Pulp is the song that says 1990s to me

Children - Robert Miles

This is one of my go-to songs when I'm having a bad day. It never fails to cheer me up.

Suede - Animal Nitrate
Shed 7 - Chasing Rainbows
Manics - Motorcycle Emptiness

My 2nd fave 90s tune

My immediate thought was Yes McAlmont and Butler then I started reading the comments and loved them all! Had to play Yes and Set you free then into a 90s spiral!
Brilliant thread, thank you OP

More mellow stuff:

PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
SWV - Right Here
En Vogue - Give Him something He can Feel
B52s - Topaz

This is a lovely thread and reminds me of some compilations CDs (remember them) I had back then as a teenager/early 20s. I can never name a favourite song/film/book etc but I remember lying on a beach on Guernsey where my then bf was fro. with my CD Walkman listening to a compilation with some real anthems which will take me back to that time. Suede, the Verve and Massive attack spring to mind. Also bands I went to see and festivals were Divine Comedy, Carter USM, The Wonderstuff, Billy Bragg (still going strong) and loads more. It was so much easier then to turn up to a student union or wherever. I remember buying tickets to Reading Festival and Glastonbury just by walking in to HMV . I absolutely had to be at Reading when the Pixies headlined and that was meant to be their farewell. Now my teenager loves them and the have reformed. They are still one of my favourite bands of all time.
