Ha! I love KLF - 3am Eternal is one of my favourite singles!

I don't know offhand if it was 80's or 90's, but f****** Ride on Time by Black Box or whatever absolutely did my head in. And anything by Celine Dion or Whitney Houston.

The Macarena :D :fuckyou:

my flesh started crawling just looking at that list...

haha, great ideas! :) how could i forgot barbie girl and macarena? :D

Gala - Free from Desire (the "My love got no money- He's got strong beliefs")
Roy Vedas - Fragments of life (excellent song, pure pop, vocoderish vocals)
sash - encore une fois
the army of lovers also (crucified, sexual revolution)- but that's too kitsch

i like 90s pop. nostalgia - I was a teenager then. Do you think there's gonna be a 90s revival/backlash?

You're missing Scooter from that list - Back in the UK would be my nomination. As it happens I really like a couple of tunes on that list (Venga boys' Boom Boom Boom Boom; 2Unlimited).

Also, I can't remember if it was 2000's or 1990's, but that ketchup song was fucking ace.

Also, definitely not 90's, but in that category of 'should be horrible but is actually better than 99% of things is Special D's Come with me. Which is probably me showing my raver side.

Nirvana-smells like teen spirit............

"Who Let The Dogs Out" (it's 2000 - close enough)

(apologies to anyone who gets that stuck in their head)

2 unlimited have some great songs. no limits is a very powerful song. if i had the chance to get the 7", i'd totally go for it.

if i think there will be a revival? i think there is no real need of revival, because the same kinda music isnt even dead yet :D it just lives on with Deep Dish, DJ Sammy, Eric Prydz, The Shapeshifters, and so on, but the quality of this kind of music in the new century is much better i think.

yeah, i forgot scooter too :) and haddway, and john secada and culture beat (mr. vain), and so on... keep on posting... i didnt even expect to get so many good ones, some of which have totaly dissappeared from my memory :D

The Ketchup song. I fucking love that song. If you can find it, there was a song called, I think 'poing' which was the sound of a ruler being twanged a lot. It was hilarious, once.

i have this lp. it has the great hits girl you know it's true and baby don't forget my number on it. and a gatefold cover!

This is off topic, but Glice, you might know this - I can't for the life of me remember the guy that did "Boogie Monster" - Armand something? I fucking LOVED that song.
