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…

Being a 90s teenager was the best @TheMurderousGoose Grin

Bran Van 3000 - drinkin in LA

Spidey66 · 15/06/2023 19:10

So many good songs in that period. Ones mentioned i love have been Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack and Yes by McAlmont & Butler.

I'm a huge Pulp fan though and although its difficult to pick one, i'll go with Common People. Ive got tickets to see them July 1st. I broke my arm 2 weeks ago and im hoping so much ill be recovered enough to see them. As long as I'm out of the sling and only needing paracetamol/Brufen at most for pain relief, I think I'll be OK as it's local.

That wasn't the 90s.

Blur - Tender is the night.

Listened to it when I knew deep down my first relationship was on the rocks but I was also deeply in love and didn’t want to split

I've just unlocked a memory of someone in our student union in 1999 being obsessed with Adam Sandler singing "Won't Somebody Kill Me" (from The Wedding Singer) and playing it at least once an hour on the jukebox every single day. The staff without fail always turned the jukebox volume down when that one came on.

The rest of the time was just your normal 90s tunes, basically everything mentioned on this thread so far.

louderthan · 15/06/2023 19:33

How can I choose?!

Spottydressinggowngirl · 15/06/2023 19:33

Loving this thread@SourTimesPortishead

I was mostly an indie girl, but enjoyed a good rave too. So many memories.

being a teenager in the 90’s was ace. I remember at the time thinking how cool the 60’s were for music, clothes etc. And now my teenager has the same view on the 90’s. Feels weird!!

I’ll be updating my playlist tonight.

one I haven’t seen so far that might fit your brief is “higher than the sun” by primal scream. So many happy memories of listening to that when I got into bed the morning after a great night 🙂

louderthan · 15/06/2023 19:33

Black Steel by Tricky is a favourite, like nothing else I'd ever heard at the time.

BlueRidgeMountain · 15/06/2023 19:34

Yes to so many of these songs. Thanks to this thread I’ve just set up my playlist for driving to work tomorrow!

NorthWestThree · 15/06/2023 19:35

Saturn 5 - Inspiral Carpets

KLM2023 · 15/06/2023 19:36

Shakespeare sister - Stay

MrsMoggy · 15/06/2023 19:38

Oasis- Don’t look back in anger
James- sit down
Babybird- You’re Gorgeous
Suggs- Cecilia
Meatloaf- two out of three ain’t bad

mambojambodothetango · 15/06/2023 19:39

One by U2. But there are loads I could have chosen.

DorritLittle · 15/06/2023 19:40

Gosh, that is a really hard question. Probably Common People. Or Alannis Morrissette Ironic.

transformandriseup · 15/06/2023 19:42

There are so many in my head. Californication by The Red Hot Chili Peppers is the one I thought of first.
