Music What were you listening to in the early 90s?

[Killswitch]

I used to love a bit of dance/rave music back in the day. Been searching through YouTube and thought I'd post some tunes from the vaults. Happy days!

There's probably a load of crap in this list, but if I can help people find a few good memories, it's been worth it. Plus it was a TON of fun finding all these old tracks and having a listen. For what it's worth I reckon Sweet Harmony is the greatest dance track of all time

YouTube - Liquid - Sweet Harmony
YouTube - CAPELLA : You Got To Know
YouTube - Break Dancer Kicks Baby
YouTube - Altern 8 Activ-8

YouTube - Self Esteem - The offspring
etc

Well, to be fair in about '95 I joined a metal band and turned into a pot-smoking alcoholic rocker and spent 5 nights a week in Corporation in Sheffield (back before they took over the old Unit nightclub and it went to shit). In fact, we played Self Esteem when we came out on stage for my first ever gig.

So White Zombie, Pantera, Machine Head, Metallica, Nirvana, Offspring, Greenday, Smashing Pumpkins (Zero is such an epic song), Iron Maiden, Dio and so on. Tool, Fear Factory, Pitchshifter, Powerman 5000, Pearl Jam, Pennywise, Motorhead, Sabbath...

Thing is everyone still remembers and loves those songs. A lot of the early 90s dance stuff was pretty good and no-one remembers it!

[Dudley52]

Why has nobody mentioned these?

YouTube - The Cult Sun King

I was born in the late 80's so couldn't experience them in their prime, but were they REALLY that underrated ? My favourite band that nobody has heard of

 

[Punishment]

I remember my 1st dirty thoughts when i was 5 to this song

YouTube - Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky

Late 80's i know

 

[cHodAX]

I was 13 and had one of my first faps over that video. Infact I might have another right now! When she changes into that white top, mint.

 

[Punishment]

I saw her irl once and she shook my hand too, she didn't even know where it had been !

She is a midget tbh smaller than anyone can comprehend, a real lady tho

 

[cHodAX]

I prefer small petite women tbh. Probably why I had a lady lurikeen lapdancer fetish in Dark Age of Camelot, short hot with nice boobs and an Irish accent is all I ask for in life.

 

[Punishment]

My last serious (Non-lunatic, lets not break up lets move in together) gf was like 5'2 petite and oddly enough Irish, she got married last eyar tho .... ruined her for life i did, that fella bought damaged goods
