    The Prodigy - Firestarter. Great song. The other is awful.

    Green Day - Basket Case. Nice punky edge to it. The other song is not great.

    The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl. Catchy tune. I don't know the other song.

    I will abstain on last as I don't like the first and can't recall the second.

    MMMBop as it was just pure catchy

    Maria but not by much

    Chemical Brothers was cooler

    Ace of Base is ultimate 90’s to me

    I was sure basket case would receive more than one nom, I almost left it off my list because it seemed too obvious to me. I guess good ridance is probably the "obvious" green day song

    Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart. It's alright but better than the other.

    Pulp - Do You Remember The First Time. Same logic as above.

    The Prodigy - Everybody in the Place. Great tune (my nomination!). Not one of Oasis' better songs.

    Enigma vs Placebo - Abstain - not mad about either song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,420 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Q/Match 13
    The Beautiful South - A Little Time
    Genuinely tough, really like both. I once saw St Etienne and she couldn't remember the words though, so I've marked them down

    Q/Match 14
    Pulp - Do You Remember the First Time
    Tough as well, but Pulp wins out for me

    Q/Match 15
    The Prodigy - Everybody in the Place
    These are all tough! I remember losing my nut to this as a young'un though. Let's go!

    Q/Match 16
    Placebo - Nancy Boy
    Not tough at all, one of my favourite bands of the 90s

    Oasis - Champagne Supernova

    These picks for me, quintessential 90s tracks imo.

    No opinion on the other ones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart - neither are great though.

    Baby Bird - You're Gorgeous - brings back some good memories.

    Oasis - Champagne Supernova - whether you love or hate Oasis, they had some classics.

    Placebo - Nancy Boy - I like the Enigma track, but Nancy Boy is a favourite from my teens.

    Oasis.

    Only the one vote from me in this one.

    I can see why the rest only received one nomination.


  • Posts: 19,174 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Saint Etienne- Only love.....

    Pulp- Do you remember......

    The Prodigy- Everybody.....

    Placebo- Nancy Boy
