Favourite songs from 1997
As we're (probably) in the dying embers of New Labour I'm celebrating the year Tony Blair rose to stardom. What are some of the songs you loved in the year which gave us The Spice Girls, our last UK Eurovision win, the funeral of Diana Princess of Wales and of course a new Labour Prime Minister?

UK - People Of Love Sash! - Encore Une Fois Supergrass - Richard III The Verve - Drugs Don't Work Radiohead - Karma Police Orbital – Satan Prodigy - Firestarter Todd Terry Feat Jocelyn Brown/Martha Wash - Something Goin' On Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life Green Day - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Ben Folds Five - Brick Live - Turn My Head Jamiroquai - Alright White Town - Your Woman Blur - Beetlebum No Mercy - Please Don't Go Olive - You're Not Alone Elton John - Something About the Way You Look Tonight U2 - Staring at the Sun Cornershop - Brimful of Asha Chumbawamba - Tubthumping Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats Creed - Torn Feeder - High Lightning Seeds - You Showed Me Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine a Light James - Waltzing Along George Michael - Star People '97 Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) Divine Comedy - Everybody Knows (Except You) Gorky's Zycotic Minci - Young Girls and Happy Endings Mono - Life in Mono The Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her The Devlins - Waiting Texas - Say What You Want Sarah McLachlan – Angel Corrs - What Can I Do?

As always the scary thing is where has the time gone?
I will admit to being a bit of a Spice Girls fan at first although after the first album I wasn't interested. I was definitely more of an All Saints fan. Finley Quaye - Even After All (my favourite song from 1997) Bentley Rhythm Ace - Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out De La Soul & Zhane - 4 More Lighthouse Family - Raincloud Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous Smash Mouth - Walking On The Sun Sash! - Encore Une Fois All Saints - I Know Where It's At Smoke City - Underwater Love (the Levi's advert that this was used on is one of my all-time favourite ads too) Supergrass - Sun Hits The Sky Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks James - She's A Star Placebo - Nancy Boy Blur - Song 2 George Michael - I Can't Make You Love Me The Supernaturals - Smile The Levellers - What A Beautiful Day Todd Terry Feat Jocelyn Brown/Martha Wash - Something Goin' On Rosie Gaines - Closer Than Close Tina Moore - Never Gonna Let You Go Tori Amos - Professional Widow Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life Jamiroquai - Alright No Doubt - Just A Girl White Town - Your Woman (excellent video too) No Mercy - Where Do You Go? Olive - You're Not Alone Dario G - Sunchyme Chumbawamba - Tubthumping Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine a Light Texas - Say What You Want Daft Punk - Around the World The Blueboy - Remember Me Gabrielle - Walk On By Kula Shaker - Hush En Vogue - Don't Let Go (Love) Lutricia McNeal - Ain't That Just The Way |

I was only 6 at the time, but since then I've heard these songs and loved them!
Prodigy - Firestarter Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench Green Day - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Elton John - Something About the Way You Look Tonight Cornershop - Brimful of Asha - Knew of the song when I was younger, don't know what age though. The Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her No Doubt - Don't Speak Hanson - Mmmbop Spice Girls - Who Do You Think You Are? Kula Shaker - Hush Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life All Saints - Never Ever Robbie Williams - Angels Pretty much all good! I cant really put the songs to any particular age, but they are all rather good

There was a dance/trance song I really liked from this year but don't know the artist.
There weren't a great deal of vocals on the track but it was sung by a bloke and it started "I'm falling........I'm falling...." Don't suppose anyone can help?! |

Divine Comedy are back!
I think the Divene Comedy were one of the most fun bands of the 1990s ... and I just watched the video to their new single ... and was pleased to see they have a new album in the offing ... bring back the indie disco!

I suddenly realise nobody has profiled 1997 recently. I often think of it as the year the music went mad. We had a new no 1 best-selling single of all-time, and 8 million-sellers released, an all-time high. Not many of these were credible but never mind!
I also had a new no 1 fave song of the Decade, and no fewer than 13 songs from 1997 went on to my top 40 of the Decade! Anyway, my nos 14-20 of 1997 would have included: Whitetown:- Your Woman Reef:- Come Back Brighter Sheryl Crow:- A Change Would Do You Good Kylie Minogue:- Some Kinda Bliss Chumbawumba:- Tubthumping Louise:- Arms Around the World Levellers:- Dog House Nos 12/13: Eels:- Novocaine for the Soul All Saints:- I Know Where It's At No 11: Radiohead:- Karma Police Nos 6-10: No Doubt:- Don't Speak Monaco:- What Do You Want from Me? U2:- Staring at the Sun Third Eye Blind:- Semi-Charmed Life Jimmy Ray:- Are You Jimmy Ray Nos 4/5: Sash:- Stay Various Artists:- Perfect Day Top 3: 3 Kula Shaker:- Hush 2 Spice Girls:- Who Do You Think You Are? 1 Natalie Imbruglia:- Torn |

Another incredible year for Britpop. Oasis released Be Here Now, an album I still rate, and my other favourite band Space released 'Avenging Angels'.
And from my hometown of Derby, White Town's 'Your Woman' spent a week at No. 1. |
