    Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia Vs Haddaway - What Is Love - Not one of Bruce's better songs but it beats the other.

    Whigfield - Saturday Night Vs Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

    U2 - Sweetest Thing Vs Take That - Never Forget - Not a great U2 song but it beats the other one.


    The Prodigy - Breathe     Vs * Spice Girls - Mama"/"Who Do You Think You Are

    * Fun fact: In the 1990s, the Spice Girls released nine singles. In the UK Charts, eight of them reached Number 1, but in the Irish Charts "only" four of them reached Number 1! In the 2000s, they had two singles, one of which reached Number 1 in the UK Charts, but not in the Irish Charts.

    U2 - Sweetest Thing Vs Take That - Never Forget
    The Prodigy - Breathe Vs Spice Girls - Mama"/"Who Do You Think You Are

    I'm going for what stands out as pure 90's and not necessarily what I like as I'd prefer Bruce and U2 in this one.

    Interestingly they have only released 3 studio albums, the last being over 20 years ago. Though it seemed a lot longer, their original run was quite short. I mean the spice girls.
