Ha! I love KLF - 3am Eternal is one of my favourite singles!

I don't know offhand if it was 80's or 90's, but f****** Ride on Time by Black Box or whatever absolutely did my head in. And anything by Celine Dion or Whitney Houston.

the army of lovers also (crucified, sexual revolution)- but that's too kitsch



i like 90s pop. nostalgia - I was a teenager then. Do you think there's gonna be a 90s revival/backlash?

You're missing Scooter from that list - Back in the UK would be my nomination. As it happens I really like a couple of tunes on that list (Venga boys' Boom Boom Boom Boom; 2Unlimited).

Also, I can't remember if it was 2000's or 1990's, but that ketchup song was fucking ace.

Also, definitely not 90's, but in that category of 'should be horrible but is actually better than 99% of things is Special D's Come with me. Which is probably me showing my raver side.

hey, gala and roy vedas are totaly amazing that i totaly forgot that they exist, but now i downloaded it and can remember, really 2 amazing songs.

if i think there will be a revival? i think there is no real need of revival, because the same kinda music isnt even dead yet it just lives on with Deep Dish, DJ Sammy, Eric Prydz, The Shapeshifters, and so on, but the quality of this kind of music in the new century is much better i think.

yeah, i forgot scooter too and haddway, and john secada and culture beat (mr. vain), and so on... keep on posting... i didnt even expect to get so many good ones, some of which have totaly dissappeared from my memory

The Ketchup song. I fucking love that song. If you can find it, there was a song called, I think 'poing' which was the sound of a ruler being twanged a lot. It was hilarious, once.
