God ♥ the 90's
 

This thread is dedicated to all things 90's, the decade that was by far the best :hugesmile:

Some of the great music, or forgotten, of this decade. feel free to add others :blush:

Just a random pick of each year in order from 1990 - 1999 :)

* Without 1995 cause I had cotten eyed Joe :L

the 90s were crap.

60s > all.

:love: 80's

I miss Music like this. :/

Think of the 90s and I just think of this alone

^This video was like Newgrounds before it existed.

Ukturtle is back !!!!!

60s are overrated

I love Motown though

I love 60's music, but motown was one of the worst parts of it imo, unless it was produced by Phil Spector. :hugesmile:

Without the 60s popular music wouldn't exist...

Come again?

Real music hasn't gone anywhere. It never has. There will always be good and bad.

I wish angry kidz would stop pretending whinging metal is the only 'reallllz' music around and/or music has suddenly gone away. It hasn't.

In fact it's easier to find than ever. Try the internet. Kids from the 80's would have shat their brains out their noses with excitement if confronted with it.

Popular music has been around since before the second world war.

I should probably elaborate :tongue: as it is today. Prior to the 60s pop was entirely jazz or rock'n'roll. Very boring 4-bar-sequences.

You mean 12 bar blues? Forgetting jazz and standards which was never restricted to any such thing, what about country, gospel and folk music?

What is true is that the 60's brought about a fundamental shift in the format of popular music, with singer songwriters, bands which wrote their own songs and took part in the production of their own material and recording artists generally taking more control of their own career becoming the norm.

And without Big Brother 1, Big Brother 5 wouldn't have happened. It doesn't mean the original has to be any good

Except it is good. Very good.

Ok I was probably exaggarating a bit when I said real music. And how am I angry? My post was completely calm. If anything, your reply has made you seem like one of the "angry kidz".

Come on, don't put words in my mouth, I never said Metal is the only real music.
I hate a lot of Metal bands, such as Bring Me The Hairspray etc.
I like any music, no matter what genre it is, as long as it sounds good to me.

I know that Music is easier to find, I never said it wasn't, and there are a lot of decent Modern musical artists/bands.

If it really got you that butthurt, I can edit my post if you want. :/

I agree LOVED ALL things 90's.

















Unfortunately I couldn't find the non explicit version. Sorry about that.


I love all genres, I could spend all day in this thread:devil:

Of course there's still music. But the quality of everything isn't as good as it was before. Before it was more about passion, artists put all their souls in it and you felt it when you listened it gave you chills. Now it's all about selling records, autotune, and things that make it good for a certain amount of time but not timeless.

The ultimate guilty pleasure of the 90s

I loved this tune

:joker:

How about this one

Have you been to The Factory?

I don't care it was a flop, bloody adore this film!!:bawling:

man these were the jams! :bawling:

This had to be the WORST number 1 of the 90's, even the video sucked!

*Get home from school, take off uniform, put on other clothes, straight to the sofa, flick rugrats on, followed by renford rejects, play a bit of fifa 98, have dinner, go to Cub scouts, get home, supper..and go to bed*

:D

Fail for realising this is a music thread

*quietly backs out hoping no one saw*

:laugh:

Renford Rejects :lovedup:

FAC251 in Manchester? no, its not really my scene tbh

I do find it a wee bit ironic that you cite this as being in some way iconic to the 90s. Or are you really suggesting that decade was devoid of originality and dependant on pre-programmed beats and out-of-context samples?!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Sunchyme is a bit of an insult to the real 1985 work it relies so heavily upon through the sample, with that programmed dance beat just plonked on top.

The video is also a travesty in that it suggests the original 'chant' refers somehow to the veldt/Africana and euphoria. The chant was recorded as the artistic counter to the theme of bleakness in Northern England (the song being dedicated to the loss of Nick Drake who died of an overdose after a lifetime of depression and insomnia). I think it was meant to convey redemption out of gloom/despair. For this reason, the real work is still quite often played or referenced in people's minds at the funerals of loved ones going by the YT comments (I doubt Sunchyme is!)

It's a bit like The Saturdays nicking "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and exploiting it as pop/dance goo - then that being held-up as a shining example of the '10s !!!!

Oh dear, I like this song, but just supports the samples comment above

loved the whole grunge era in the 90's

Really a reworking from their 1987 debut album



"They're justified and they're ancient and they drive an ice-cream van" is an inspired lyric. Also, the only act to ever have set light to £1million in cash (in £50 notes)


Mad as a bag of frogs:
"The KLF's BRITs statuette for "Best British Group" of 1992 was later "found" buried in a field near Stonehenge"

Some 90s dance was good:
