Favorite 90s singles (yet another f**king list)

Probably did this one before, but I'll promise to limit my list to 5 that I just could not live without if I were to assess the 90s:

1. Fake Plastic Trees (Radiohead)

2. Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve)

3. Regret (New Order)

4. Wonderwall (Oasis)

5. Stuck on You (Lioenl Richie)-psych! Just kidding

real 5. California (Tupac and Dr Dre)

Oh Please - Not fucking Wonderbra. I'm sick to fucking death of hearing that fucking song. Next busker in Mc'r who still sings that song, I swear I will deck him. :evil:

"Today was gonna be the the day...." :headoff:

sorry but I still like that one

ok, this'll probably have changed in a few minutes but at the moment the top five in my head are: pure - lightning seeds creep - radiohead losing my religion - rem motorcycle emptiness - manic street preachers she's a star - james in no particular order.

It's so hard to choose, but these ain't half-bad.

New Order - Regret Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart Goldie - Inner City Life The Orb - Perpetual Dawn Mercury Rev - Goddess On a Highway

Just choose FIVE?

Naaaah.

Impossible! Too many gems to have to leave off, man!

I don't think Tabsy asked for 5. HE gave us 5...

I'll just give one, right now :

See See Rider - She Sings Alone

Okay Buster - you got the ball rolling. I'll chip in with one too:

PALE SAINTS: "Kinky Love" (oooohhh...just lovely....)

Regret Not if you were the last junkie on earth Dandy Warhols Spit on a Stranger Pavement Idioteque Radiohead Smells Like Teen Age Girls' Armpits Nirvana

those aren't all singles but good shit nonetheless

Here's a first batch... Some defining moments, I think...

My Bloody Valentine - Soon Massive Attack - Unifinished Sympathy Radiohead - Creep Primal Scream - Higher Than The Sun Beck - Loser

A personal favorite :

Quickspace - Superplus

Some other personal favorites, including some other defining moments :

The Wanadies - Hit Bran Van 3000 - Drinking In LA Tranquility Bass - They Came In Peace Pale Saints - The Sight Of You & Hal-Life Remembered Saint Etienne - Like A Motorway King Biscuit Time - I Walked The Earth PJ Harvey - Down By The River Björk : Human Behavior Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks

Hmmmm not easy but:

Regret Salva Mea - Faithless song 2 - blur Dont you want me - Felix Kinky AFro - Mondays

I know that selection reeks like a 2 month old slab of Stilton but I've always been a sucker for a decent pop tune

1. Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
2. Get the Message - Electronic
3. Regret - New Order
4. One - U2
5. Something Changed - Pulp

Regret Motorcycle Emptiness Paranoid Android Only Love Will Break Your Heart Motown Junk

You're right about that one, "Lover" :

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence The Charlatans - The Only One I Know

I know it's light and frothy, but if Groove Is in the Heart was in the 90's (which I think it was... just), then that, along with Unfinished Sympathy, Regret, Motorcycle Emptiness and Losing My Religion.

Martin - you know damn well "Kinky Love" wasn't a single per se, but a track on an EP. Try not to proclaim your love of semi-obscure 4AD bands too loudly 'cos small children will point and laugh at you in the street.

Believe me, I know......

Here's the bottom 5 of my top ten (still feel like there's a lot being left out) 6.One-U2 7.Paranoid Android-Radiohead 8.Sabotage-Beastie Boys 9.song by the Butthole Surfers, can't remeber the name but the chorus goes "I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows". I use to love that song.. 10.song 2-Blur

And that's my final answer!.....

unless I change my mind

Sorry Mr. Smug, you obviously didn't "know" properly then: although it DOES appear as track three on the CD/12", KINKY LOVE was the listed A-side of the SEVEN - INCH vinyl version of this Pale Saints EP , the other side being HAIR SHOES. This is how the record is listed in the Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles - yep, even Pale Fucking Saints managed just the ONE chart entry. "Kinky Love" peaked at number 72 for just one week. So there. :p

Small children will point and laugh at me in the street? - no - I point at small children and laugh when I blow their fucking brains out.

Adamski-Killer The KLF - What Time Is Love? Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Radiohead - Creep Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Beck - Loser Underworld - Born Slippy The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha Oasis - Go Let It Out
