Assume you mean Insomnia?
God Is A DJ, We Come One and Salva Mea were all pretty big too

Insomnia, yes I remember it got a lot of airplay. I don't know those other songs but I never got into house either so kinda clueless.

The full, album version of Salva Mea is incredible, I'd recommend trying it out
(I find the single edit very disappointing though)

Edit: here you go...

Sorry folks, there was a slight miscalculation, we need 8 acts through, I will keep taking votes until we reach the 8

In fact, Gru has just put Jeff Buckly through, so 1 place remaining.

Already though, so no need to vote for these,

I have actually reconciled myself to the fact that pop acts won't go far in this competition.
After all 90's were a lot about the guitars: britpop, indie rock, grunge and the likes.

They generally don't anyways in these contests unfortunately.

Please. Abstain on the other two

I thought this was best act of the 90s...what are Aerosmith and Beastie Boys doing here?

How on earth has Will Smith gotten through?

Where is Lauryn Hill?


This is off to a terrible start.

I have a passionate dislike for Ash. Weirdly irrational as their music doesn't annoy me in the way say Sinead O Connor does.....

But I don't know the crew they're up against tbh so can't even spite vote!

Aerosmith had a string of 90s hits and if you wanted Miss Hill here, you should have nominated her.

There will be plenty of more familiar acts to come.

Technically, I did

Ash

I don’t know the others. Well, I know weezer but not who they’re up against.

Electric Nitwit

Perhaps Lauren Hill's one album and four singles that decade weren't enough
