Placebo - Nancy Boy

Link

I can be a bit hit and miss when it comes to Placebo, but this is definitely one of their stronger entries.

This is one of their most successful singles, the 4th of their self titled debut album, and coming in an era where Britpop had firmly morphed into a sort of post-grunge alt rockin the UK I suppose.

A lot to like here.

The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats

Link

Another huge hit that brought the Chemical Brothers into the popular music mainstream.

This is the second single off their second album, Dig Your Own Hole, the follow up to Setting Sun, which did hit number 1 and had lyrics by Oasis' own Noel Gallagher.

Block Rockin' Beats was the even bigger follow up single, also hitting number 1 but carrying more of a legacy.

Very good.

Prodigy - Breathe

Link

A huge huge as the Prodigy moved properly into the mainstream I feel.

This was off The Fat of the Land, their 3rd album, and not the first single off it either, Firestarter having kickstarted it.

Breathe was a huge hit and still holds up today, off what is probably the Prodigy's strongest release.

I really really like it, scraping into the top 50.

U2 - Discotheque

Link

A venture towards further new sounds from U2 in the 90's, following on from Achtung Baby and Zooropa, 4 years prior to this.

An interesting evolution, this was the lead single off 1997's Pop, I like it, wouldn't say I love it, but it's good and I probably enjoy U2 more than a lot of others.

Pop was their 9th album, coming out just 3 weeks before NOW 36 and their last album of the 90's.

911 - The Day We Find Love

Link

911's second entry off their debut album to make it on here and the 4th single from their first album.

Just a bit flatter and when you compare it to the Backstreet Boys before it the difference is noticeable.

Pretty forgettable in the end.

Backstreet Boys - Anywhere For You

Link

The 5th and final single off their debut album, coming out as a single about a month before NOW 36 released.

It's good, but they still had yet to find their peak, as we all know what's to come.

A good solid pop track nonetheless.

Boyzone - A Different Beat

Link

The title track and second single off Boyzone's second single, like most of their tracks it's Gately and Keating heavy.

Not sure how well it's aged, it's 5 lads from Dublin singing a lot about Africa, and the video is definitely dated too, but it's Boyzone so there's still some catchiness to be found in there, make of that what you will.

East 17 - Hey Child

Link

East 17 have done alright in my books so far, but this is one of their poorer ones.

Released as a new single on a 1996 compilation album, Around the World, it caused more controversy than anything, with Brian Harvey being fired from the band after praising ecstasy while promoting the new single, no joke.

The band ended up being blacklisted on UK radio for awhile and would eventually break up in 1999 after another album (have obviously done several reunions since then and currently together in some form).

Damage - Love Guaranteed

The 4th of 6 single off Forever, Damage's debut album, and the second to make the cut here.

Definitely the most smooth one so far, I actually find myself liking it quite a lot.

That nice blend of 90's R&B pop.

Peter Andre - Natural

The title track of Andre's debut album and his 7th and final single off it.

Not at the level of Mysterious Girl, but a fun time, more reggae influence or something of that ilk.

Very much at home in the 90's.

George Michael - Spinning the Wheel (Forthright Edit)

Link

Spinning the Wheel was the follow up single to Fastlove off his Older album, and like that, it appears here in the form of a Forthright Edit.

I imagine it works better at a club in the 90's than where I am now, sitting at my kitchen table having tea.

Just doesn't work for me really.

Robert Miles - One & One (feat. Maria Nayler)

Link

The 3rd and final single off Robert Miles' debut album, think I discussed it a bit when Children, his big hit was out.

This one features vocals from British trance singer Maria Nayler, who contributed to a few different tracks here and there down the years.

Just not really my thing, one of his last really big successes though.

One here that needs no explanation, Jamiroquai's big hit.

Whilst not initially huge, it's staying power has shone through no doubt.

The Blueboy - Remember Me

Link

The Blueboy (or Blue Boy), both titles seemed to be used, is Scottish DJ Lex Blackmore, who put out only 3 tracks between 1995-97, this being the only success.

It's pretty great though, dance funk that finds a way to make you move, I really really like it.

Blue Boy played toured with the Shamen back in 1991 also, good fun this.

White Town - Your Woman

Link

A complete one out of leftfield, Jyoti Mishra, a British-Indian musician, going under the name of White Town, came out with this, the lead single off his second album, Women in Technology in 1997, with elements funk, dance, house, folk and a sprinkle of alternative on top of that.

The only success he ever really had, it's weirdly hypnotic, and shows up now and again.

Can't place my hand on why I like it, but here we are.
