Only 3 slots left and I’ve stuck with REM. I’m not an REM Superfan; their 90’s stuff is where it’s at for me. But they’ve too many great tracks to omit them from my selections. From my favourite album of theirs..

The last of my Rave picks before returning to ‘regular’ songs to finish this 90’s countdown. Dance music dominated most of my 90’s listening. They were the very best of years. And this, well, that piano still gives me euphoria every listen. Choon

Still lurking around 90’s dance culture, my favourite Underworld track.

Classic banger. Eerie, propulsive, proper 4am tune.

The soothing sounds of Bjorn Riis and his Gilmour-esque guitar playing today. It’s not a big leap from his music with Airbag but that’s fine by me.
Good day all

I love the way
I love the way you move
I love the way
I love the way you move
Just lose yourself
Lose yourself in circles of sound

More Saint Etienne. A very big part of my music history

Chirpiest track ever made. Such an infectious feel good vibe. Foxbase Alpha ushered in my 90’s years filled with great rave nights out in England, France, Australia, Switzerland and beyond. Party time. The best years. Until the Mrs clapped me in irons

Last track in this countdown before I spiral into my Rave decade and see where that takes me. Peter Gabriel has my favourite singing voice of all humans. A fabulous opening song and maybe the last tour I saw him on 🤔 (Lausanne 🇨🇭)

Porcupine Tree started getting really interesting with Signify. Even among the behemoths of later albums, this is still a stellar track from their 90’s material

You mean this RSD release DW? 4 x 12” versions of the singles off CB

Of everything Bob Mould has been involved in, ‘Beaster’ remains my favourite release. Such a visceral, savage attack of a recording. Great snowboarding soundtrack back in the day 🇨🇭

I did see the YouTube of Lerxst with TOOL when it came out. And I remember the guitar gift from socials at the time. Wouldn’t it be great if somewhere on the Fiftyish Tour, Adam Jones turned up as a guest!
Thanks for sharing. I’d love to see any memorabilia for sure 👍
This is from Dublin

It might be popular among the cool kids to bash Nirvana. And yeah maybe I like Soungarden or AIC more overall. But it would be remiss of me not to make a pick from an album that remains as large today as then. Killer key change in my Nevermind pick

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

This and ‘So’ were the first two from my 16th year that came to mind. Oh, also ‘Somewhere in Time’
I bet there was loads if I went digging.

Most of my favourite NC material is after this album but simply couldn’t leave this track off the list. Sometimes I want Bombastic Nick, others just to sink into the beauty of tracks like this.

Half way point eh. Might have to move on from TOOL after this. A choppy, crunchy angry/funny classic.
