    Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun
    - tough one, but I was definitely more Chems than Roses in the 90s

    Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
    - iconic

    Q/Match 51
    The Sundays - Summertime
    - really interesting match up, good nominations. I grew tired of Hazard though

    Q/Match 52
    Smashing Pumpkins - Today
    - really tough choice. At the time I was definitely team Prodigy but these days I'm more Pumpkins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    49: Big Roses fan but this is probably my least favourite of theirs and I love the collaboration on Setting Sun - a Gallagher on a dance track, you just can't get more 90s.

    50. California Love - great sample

    51. I didn't think I knew either of these until I played them. Two nice enough songs that wouldn't have me reaching for the radio dial if they came on in the car. Voting for Summertime. The singer has a lovely voice and is very pretty - I think I could listen to and look at her all day. Fell in love a bit there :o

    52. Tough one. I still catch myself singing Today at times but whereas I think the Pumpkins may have a couple of better songs, No Good is peak Prodigy IMO and gets my vote for that reason.

    Some cheese in this round :D I might annoy a few people with my reasons.

    53. Staring at the Sun - A very under-rated U2 album in my opinion. Loved it.

    54. I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - I just never got Gomez.

    55. Friends In Low Places - Not particularly a fan but the Utah Saints one just sounded like noise. I'd have loved it back in my clubbing days but not so much at my desk on headphones. Also, Kate Bush really leaves me cold.

    56. No Rain was another one I didn't think I knew until I hit play. The other one probably could be better with just the female vocalist and the dance track.
