ahh, that Delerium song is such a tune. i love all the trance anthems from the 90s. stuff like Sandstorm by Darude, Tocas Miracle by Fragma, Turn Around by Phats and Smalls and 9PM by ATB to name a few. so many good songs from around that era.

I haven't heard (well...read) Fragma or Darude's names in about 10 years! I think I just about remember little snippets of those tunes too. Back when I lived down south I used to go to school in a taxi, and it was always either Radio 1 or Kiss 100 so, as you can probably imagine, I was hearing a lot of that kinda thing back in the day.

Haha Toca's Miracle, that's a blast from the past!


Now to destroy all my credibility in one post. I mean Savage Garden and Barry Fucking Manilow are in my list. Links provided so that you too can revisit music that was popular in 90s Australia (most of the list).


Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
Just a really good pop song. Come to think of it, I don't even feel guilty about listening to this (and I'm sure anyone reading this likes it too).

Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
Because Flea's on bass

Limp Bizkit - The One
Great bassist, ****ty band.

Savage Garden - To the Moon & Back
I have no excuses here and I'm dying of shame

Jennifer Paige - Crush
Childhood nostalgia suppressing blood flow to my brain

Kate Ceberano - Pash
Ditto

Barry Manilow - Mandy
This is a new low

Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is
FML

Phil Collins - Two Hearts
This feels like confession

Rod Stewart - Sailing
I'm definitely going to hell




Runners-Up:
Haddaway - What Is Love?
Tavares - Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel
Pseudo Echo - Funky Town
John Farnham - You're the Voice

every now and then I just have a complete 90s day, which usually turns into 90s week. I just love that era so much. wish I was a bit older to have appreciated it a little more at the time, but I still have memories of the music from then.

Bulldog

Yeah, I'm only 21 (22 in June) myself, so the closest I ever got to having my ears to the ground musically in the 90s was hearing stuff like Oasis' Roll With It on GMTV or whatever. I do like a lot of 90s electronica, but I tend to stay away from a lot of trance - more into progressive house and big beat like the Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, Prodigy, Underworld and so on. It's great to just crank some of the former once in a while though.

yeah man. I'm 19, 20 in August, but I have a pretty good memory so I have a massive spotify playlist FULL of stuff I love from the 90s. a lot of dance, a lot of alternative stuff and a fair bit of pop. stuff like Sixpence Non The Richer, The Wannadies, Alanis Morissette, Third Eye Blind, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede, Faithless, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Bro's, Eagle Eye Cherry, Sneaker Pimps, Underworld, Basement Jaxx, Deep Blue Something. mainly bands that were around then and didn't progress further into the next decade.

so much stuff. i dig it hard. 90s is more than likely my favourite ever decade.

In no particular order:

Alicia Keys - Falling (i think)
Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Till It's Over
Candlebox - Far Behind
Coldplay - Trouble
The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me
Natalie Merchant - Carnival
Simply Red - Holding Back the Years
The Shangri-Las - (several songs)

that's all i can think of.. not so much guilty as not the stuff I listen to when my friends are in the car .. and they might call me out if they found it on my ipod

Ba-zing

Although admittedly my favourite Benatar song would be this;

instereowhereavailable

Duran Duran is nothing to be ashamed of
Lily Allen is a cutie and her songs are pretty catchy and funny. I wouldn't normally like her style but she has something about her.
The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian. I second this as well. I would have to add a few songs by The Go-gos as well
And Pat Benetar is awesome.
