erm...am i missing something? the thread title is 'forgotten' tracks of the 90's.... are the lists posted here REALLY 'forgotten'?..

i was expecting tracks like 'flagpole sitta' (harvey danger), 'strumpet' (my lifes story), 'indie yarn' (trick baby) and 'dark therapy' (echobelly) ... minor hits that most HAVE possibly 'forgotten'... not major hits that are still being aired on mtv.
Yes, but it also says preferably top 40 too. It then becomes more difficult to say what is REALLY forgotten.

stranglers - 96 tears

electribe 101 - talking with myself

kingmaker - 10 years asleep

the levellers - this garden

So keep em' comin', whatever your taste...

Yeah. It's a shame. It's always played on the music channels.

Andi Peters' Top 50 of the 1990s is on 4music at the moment.

Already played Reel 2 Reel, KWS, Take That, Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom which they said was from 1991. Another researcher that needs sacking...

My favourite Lisa Stansfield solo single, with a brilliant chorus, from 1992:

(The one she did with Coldcut, 'People Hold On' is my absolute favourite)

Seal - The Beginning

I love this one; it always 'picks me up' a little when I start singing it to myself:

Just so happy and, well, gay... in the Parisian sense, primarily, but still...
