90s music flashback. Who remembers...

[Daedalus12]

90s music doesn't quite stand out and definite its era like 80s music, but if your youth was in the 90s it may have more resonance with you.

Damn you managed to post a 90s music list without mentioning any alternative rock band! I think I've only ever heard about 3 out of that list and I grew up in the 90s. Can't say I am surprised since I paid no attention to R&B/Rap/Pop/Dance, etc. My 90s collection is consisted mostly of grunge, metal, and post-rock.

 

[PK95]

It was number one for the entire 520 weeks of the decade I believe

Bryan Adams- Everything I Do (I Do It For You)

For some reason, I still love that song. It's stood the test of time better than bloody "My Heart Will Go On..." - now THAT was a song considerably more painful than tearing you own heart out with a spoon...

I love it too, I even prefer the album version with the extra 2 and a half minutes on the end

I like the longer version as well...if I hear the "single" version I still play the beginning of the longer version in my head.

Here are some other 90s songs that I loved and remembered coming home from work tonight:

Saigon Kick - Love Is On The Way

Roxette - Joyride LOVED me some Roxette!

Michael W. Smith - Place In This World

Stacy Earl - Romeo & Juliet

Sheena Easton - What Comes Naturally (sadly her last US hit and it was a minor one)

The Cranberries - Dreams

A'me Lorain - Whole Wide World

Sweet Sensation - Love Child (fun cover)

Meat Puppets - Backwater

Everclear - Santa Monica

Loreena McKennit - The Mummer's Dance

Enigma - Sadness Part One

Again, great thread! Loving the memories. Please keep posting some great 90's songs!

Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

This is a 90s classic IMO
Shakespeares Sister - Stay

Really reminds me of the early 90s; this was a big hit in 1992 (No.1 for 8 weeks in the UK) when I was around 7 years old.
I love it when the scary woman comes in half way through

[Zulu Romeo]

"Tetris" - Doctor Spin

It doesn't end there...

"The Banana Song" - GSP

"Go Go Power Rangers" - The Mighty RAW (one of Cowell's believe it or not )

"Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!" - Teletubbies
(that one actually reached #1. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...)




[You guys are nuts. Seriously. - everyone]

You have no idea...
"Itsy Btsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" - Bombalurina

 

[Jadzia]

It doesn't end there...

How can you forget bob the builder!

"Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh!" - Teletubbies
(that one actually reached #1. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...)

Claimed to be the first single in the UK top 40 to feature sampled sheep. But they are wrong! Who can name the first?

I don't know much about sheep [Oh really? - someone] but this one had a horse:

"Insane In The Brain" - Cypress Hill

(Incidentaly, that one goes well mashed up with "Intergalactic" - Beastie Boys )

[That's better - everyone]

 

[Jadzia]

]I don't know much about sheep [Oh really? - someone] but this one had a horse:

"Insane In The Brain" - Cypress Hill

So did this one:
Horsepower - Bolt

It's much better in stereo. The way they pan that horse sound around the listener is quite amusing.

1987, I think. Still a good year, though. Incidentally, the year that the KLF (then known as the JAMMs) made their breakthrough.

 

[Ethros]

• East 17 - Stay Another Day

That was a great Christmas record. I remember I was in Year 6 at Primary School in at the time. Ah, great days

How about this
Shaggy - Mr Boombastic
Always makes me think of Mark Lamarr singing it on Shooting Stars

 

[Zulu Romeo]

How about this
Shaggy - Mr Boombastic

I remember that well.

The following year they also sang this:

"Wannabe" - Spice Girls


And now... some dance choons from the 90s:

"Children" - Robert Miles (this one when played on a coach trip I once went on caused everyone aboard to spontaneously burst in tears. True story.)

"Encore Une Fois" - Sash!
which of couse sounds a little like
"Insomnia" - Faithless

"Bellisima" - DJ Quicksilver (I remember finishing my CSYS English when this was a top 40 hit)

"Protect Your Mind" - DJ Sakin & friends (based of course on a certain 1995 Mel Gibson film...)

"Sunchyme" - Dario G (I have the song on which this one was based in my collection)

"Carnaval de Paris" - Dario G (one of many songs based on World Cup France 98)

And speaking of footie...
"Three Lions" - Baddiel, Skinner & the Lightning Seeds
and the official Scotland song for World Cup 98: "Don't Come Home Too Soon" - Del Amitri

 

[rac76]

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Toad the Wet Sprocket"!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcHB060NKYo

What a great song. I wonder what happen to them?

Has anyone mention Arrested Development? or TLC? They both a cds out during the '90s that were great.

"Tennessee" Arrested Development

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g40c6iAEHpc

"Waterfalls" TLC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-n-jZJhpT4

Yea.."Waterfalls" was a bit over played for a while, but it's still a good song.

 

[Jadzia]

And now... some dance choons from the 90s:

I think the first cd I bought from the music shops was a dance compilation album containing many of these tunes you've listed. Around 97/98 it must have been
Fondly remember Sash - Stay. I was a bit of a sash fan for a couple of months after that one came out.
