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…

National Express by The Divine Comedy
Common People by Pulp

(although actually any song by either of those bands, obsessed)

NooNakedJacuzziness · 15/06/2023 22:37

beautiful ones - Suede
Regulate - Warren G and Nate Dog

Hedonism - Skunk Anansie
No Diggity - Black Street
Chains - Tina Arena
Gonna Make You Sweat - C&C Music Factory

OK that last one I don't care for but it reminded me of Sweat (A La La La La Long) by Inner Circle - choon.

Smells like teen spirit- Nirvana

All that glitters ain't gold. Prince.

@Tigofigo The first time I ever heard Portishead was watching a film called Tank Girl in 1995 and Roads was on the soundtrack. I loved the song so much I went and bought their album ‘Dummy’ and the rest is history 🙃

So many great songs 😭

N-trance 'Set You Free' is the ULTIMATE 90s song for me
Gala 'Freed From Desire'
Zoe 'Sunshine On A Rainy Day'
Heaven 17 'Temptation'
Rozalla 'Everybody's Free'
Roxette - all of the songs
Beats International 'Dub Be Good To Me'
Toni Di Bart 'The Real Thing'
All Saints 'Never Ever'
Everything But The Girl 'Missing'
The Bluetones 'Slight Return'

I need to do a Spotify playlist!

SourTimesPortishead · 16/06/2023 00:24

Some of these recommendations I haven’t thought of in decades! So good to remember them again and add them to my playlist 🙏🏻
I’ve thought of some more:
Berri- Sunshine after the rain
Radiohead- Anyone can play guitar
White Zombie- More human than human
Fatboy Slim- Praise You
Fiona Apple- Criminal
Brandy- I wanna be down
Toni Braxton- You’re makin me high
Harvey Danger- Flagpole Sitta
Nirvana- Lithium
Smashing Pumpkins- Drown
Kris Kross- Jump

Glycerine by Bush

Such a good thread, totally making a playlist on this.

I'd have said glory box by portishead closely followed by roads, I was so lost in my head as a teen in the nineties

Loved lots of the songs mentioned!

I am ashamed to admit that I was obsessed with his album! 😳

EmmaEmerald · 16/06/2023 08:25

Sunny yay, a playlist 🤗

CrazyArmadilloLady · 15/06/2023 21:05

Thanks for the Heart 90s rec, tuned in and it’s Baby One More Time, which to be fair, is a classic!

I cringed when that came on just after I’d recommended it! They had played really good music all evening including many on this thread.

I like Absolute 90’s too but they talk a lot on there so Heart is better for just music, more like a playlist.

ichundich · 16/06/2023 08:28

What's up by Four Non Blondes.

I used to mishear this lune as "I lick your bum bum now" 🙈.

Ha! Me too!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 16/06/2023 08:55

Anyone listening to Kisstory this am around 8.16? If so you were treated to N-Trance!! I was running at the time and it was glorious to have it pushing me along on a very hot sweaty run!

Also would like to add -

Craig David Rewind
Artful Dodger Please Don't turn me on
Ginny Keep Warm
Stretch and Vern, I'm alive
Chicane, Saltwater
Paul Van Dyke, For an Angel
N-Joi Anthem
Flowers, SFA

Fans of this thread would really enjoy the Kiss 90’s internet radio station - just a totally random, brilliant mix of back to back 90’s tunes of every genre

https://www.radio-uk.co.uk/ca/kiss-90s2

As well as the 60 Songs That Explain The 90’s podcast (which is actually going to be 120 episodes because it’s so popular)
