    It could be song you never hear any more or one that didnt get enough love the first time around. It can be from a major or a minor star or act and from any genre.

    Id probably go with this

    Favourite forgotten 90's tune?

    Three Colours Red - Nuclear Holiday


    Loved this song, still do. It's was one of the most important songs in my life as it got me into rock music! It's such a shame 3CR never made it as big as they could and should have. When they were finally getting the recognition they deserved they split up. Fair enough, they reformed for a short while, but the stuff they released after reformation didn't have the catchy hooks, the energy, the heart of their old stuff!

    As uncool as this guy is, i always heard bits of Soul Asylum in this tune and always had a soft spot for it.


    (um, is this video actually showing up for anyone?)

    JDee - Jason Dee, I presume. Would you be looking for possible tunes for selection on the forthcoming temporary-licenced station 90s Network? I see that you are involved in the station. No harm in that.

    From the recesses of my memories:
    I like to Move It - Reel2Reel
    Barrel of A Gun - Depeche Mode
    Another Night Another Dream - The Real McCoy
    Rhythm of The Night - Corona
    Are You Ready to Flow - Nikolai
    San Trancisco - Punchenella
    World in Motion - New Order and England World Cup Squad
    Rocks - Primal Scream
    Becoming More Like Alfie - The Divine Comedy
    Getting Away With It - Electronic
    The Patience of a Saint - Electronic
    Get the Message - Electronic
    Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
    Being Boring - The Pet Shop Boys

    ... I know there's more but I can't remember them, including loads of more rock-oriented tunes. Funny what I did remember!

    This always reminds me of falling around London in summer '96. What a scorcher.

    I don't mind covers but Tin tin out was nowhere near as good as The Sundays original version. Sounds like a plastic version. Maybe thats just me :pac::pac:



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭Da Funky Munky


    Re; The Sundays version, I would have to disagree and say the cover version is better :) Thats not going to be a popular statement but there you have it.

    The only credible song Rick Astley ever done below, and a 90's one too
