Wow. I'm not a big fan of the 90s and my taste doesn't overlap much with yours, but I think it might be a challenge picking just one track from this list.

Decided to go for "Its a kid world". Played all four of my choices over and over and "IaKW" still sounds like the future, even now.

Argh this is hard coz there are several artists I love but don't care for the song you chose.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

thought this was going to be about "Hey Dude" and later arcane permutations of "Double Dare".

would have voted for groove is in the heart though.

This just seems the same as the NME list just posted
― coal, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
Except that pretty much every song is different.

Artists are kind of the same, can't remember the individual songs in the other list without looking
― coal, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
Brilliant.

Missed this but would maybe have gone for Spiritualized, I've been enjoying them (and that song in particular) a lot recently.
Only a handful of songs I don't like, would much rather listen to this as a playlist than the NME 50.

^ this but for Baby Bird sitting there like a turd in the swimming pool

We did listen to this as a playlist yesterday on the way to Bristol to see Japandroids, and it was awesome (even Babybird!).
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 12:32 (eleven years ago) link
Baby Bird possibly has 50 songs better from the 90s but I still love You're Gorgeous
(plenty of turds on the list though)

This isn't actually that dissimilar to the other NME list in that most of this stuff is NME faves from the late 90s, so the songs are different but it's a broadly shared aesthetic*. I mean it's not like the list is full of Drexyia and Merzbow and the Vengaboys or whatever.
*Nothing wrong with that necessarily, lord knows I was listening to most of these artists at 17-18.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 12:48 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I'd agree with that. It's markedly *better* than the NME list, but not markedly *different*. Voted MBV, but could've gone KLF or Deee-lite...
