Oh, those were the times.

This post exists because sometimes wonderful Twitter conversations just get a bit out of hand. Somehow not_a_rummba , octoberorange and me ended up talking about the amazing music that was made in the '90s and when I said I could make a playlist of all the great songs, I seem to have meant that. This is for Farhana because she convinced me to do this (not that I really needed that, but still) and for Jess who reminded me of lots of good bands and songs I might have otherwise forgotten. Thank you girls. This is also for everyone who loves the incredible music made in the '90s. Enjoy!



(The songs are in no specific order, so you can listen to them however you like.)

Muse - Sunburn
She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistakes

The Smashing Pumpkins - Today
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

Supergrass - Caught By The Fuzz
We'll make it hard for you my son, so tell us what you know.
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight,

The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind
I've changed my mind
So where did you see me go

Radiohead - Paranoid Android
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all

Alice In Chains - Would?
Drifting body, its sole exertion.
Flying, not yet quite the notion.

Nirvana - Come As You Are
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun

Foo Fighters - Hey, Johnny Park!
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
I cannot stop giving in
I'm thirty-something

Placebo - 36 Degrees
We were tight,
But it falls apart as silver turns to blue.

Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
Kool thing walkin' like a panther
Come on and give me an answer

Temple Of The Dog - Pushin' Forward Back
Fallen heroes feed the ground
I started pushin' forward back

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
From the family tree of old school hip hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days
And what you wanted to be yours
Has made it mine

Pearl Jam - Spin The Black Circle
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...

Hole - Doll Parts
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes

Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?

Veruca Salt - Seether
Keep her down, boiling water,
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.

Cranberries - Zombie
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

Green Day - Basket Case
Do you have the time, To listen to me whine,
About nothing and everything all at once?


Note: This is a very subjective list here, everyone has their own favourites. This is also what goes as "grunge/alternative/rock with a twist" mix in my folders and if I have time and people remind me of good songs, it could be likely that one day there will also be a '90s dance/pop mix. Until that, enjoy listening to these. ♥
