From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

This was the end of my 90s rock era, and the begining of my 2000s electronic music interest.

Absolute classic! Now you’ve made me want to pull out my old 90’s dance vinyls & decks…

Nice, haven't heard this in a long time.

Elclassico.

What TV ad (UK at least) was this used in that helped make it huge at the time?

[–] iks 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Levi's commercial if I remember well

[–] JulesWinnfield 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was it! Levi ads had tremendous influence in the UK charts, with a number of their song choices at the time becoming hits if I recall.

Yup, and not only in UK. Boombastic another one
