I think everyone must have taken the same line in nominating. It would have been amazing if Wonderwall had not got any votes!

There'll be something massive missing in the end!

I really wanted to nominate a couple of Manics tunes myself but just didnt have the space

I was putting in Motorcycle Emptiness instead of Wonderwall but decided against it and bloody glad I did seeing as no one else nommed it :eek:

I definitely would have gone for Motorcycle Emptiness ahead of Wonderwall myself. I know it's an iconic 90s song and has to be in this competition, but I've always thought it was a bit meh.

Shtick me down for a vote for Sheryl Crow there to tie things up for the lols.

Really dislike Radiohead for the most part anyways so that helps there.

You will be first against the wall

The Prodigy - Firestarter. Great song. The other is awful.

Green Day - Basket Case. Nice punky edge to it. The other song is not great.

The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl. Catchy tune. I don't know the other song.

I will abstain on last as I don't like the first and can't recall the second.

MMMBop as it was just pure catchy

Maria but not by much

Chemical Brothers was cooler

Ace of Base is ultimate 90’s to me

I was sure basket case would receive more than one nom, I almost left it off my list because it seemed too obvious to me. I guess good ridance is probably the "obvious" green day song

Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart. It's alright but better than the other.

Pulp - Do You Remember The First Time. Same logic as above.

The Prodigy - Everybody in the Place. Great tune (my nomination!). Not one of Oasis' better songs.

Enigma vs Placebo - Abstain - not mad about either song.

Q/Match 13
The Beautiful South - A Little Time
Genuinely tough, really like both. I once saw St Etienne and she couldn't remember the words though, so I've marked them down

Q/Match 14
Pulp - Do You Remember the First Time
Tough as well, but Pulp wins out for me

Q/Match 15
The Prodigy - Everybody in the Place
These are all tough! I remember losing my nut to this as a young'un though. Let's go!

Placebo - Nancy Boy
Not tough at all, one of my favourite bands of the 90s

These picks for me, quintessential 90s tracks imo.

No opinion on the other ones

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart - neither are great though.

Baby Bird - You're Gorgeous - brings back some good memories.

Oasis - Champagne Supernova - whether you love or hate Oasis, they had some classics.

Placebo - Nancy Boy - I like the Enigma track, but Nancy Boy is a favourite from my teens.

Oasis.

Only the one vote from me in this one.

I can see why the rest only received one nomination.

Saint Etienne- Only love.....

Pulp- Do you remember......

The Prodigy- Everybody.....

Placebo- Nancy Boy

I'm surprised at how many ppl like the Placebo track I didn't nominate them because I didn't think they'd make it through. I always felt like I was on my ownieo likeing them. I guess that's part of life pre mainstream internet, it was harder to find ppl who liked what you liked

Rikand

I am presuming that necro just submitted 10 oasis songs, yes ?

You're gorgeous is a super song. It must go through!

I love their version of Running up That Hill and a couple more of their songs.

I can't believe that I forgot to nominate Wolf Moon by Type O Negative:(

Risking the ire of the masses here but Barbie Girl is actually a decent track imo, and unashamedly 90s for me.
