To me 91 - 94 was a golden period. 95 Saw a massive decline, that continued thoughtout that decade.

The Bends and The debut album by Garbage were good albums from 95 though.

Blur were my band of choice for 95. Seeing them at Mile End that year will always be a special memory.
There were plenty of great albums and singles that year, with Elastica and Supergrass being particular faves. I think 94 and 97 were my years of choice from the nineties, though.

I was 4 and my overriding memory is Celine Dion's Think Twice on the radio that's about all I remember .

Bought my first single that year, "I'm a Believer" by EMF/ Reeves & Mortimer.

Of course, the big story that year was the battle of Britpop. I bought Country House but went on to be a bigger fan of Oasis.

I turned seven that year, but it's when my musical memories really start to increase, particularly at the end of the year when presumably the radio was on a lot so I remember Bjork's 'It's Oh So Quiet', Michael Jackson's 'Earth Song', Mike Flowers Pops' 'Wonderwall' and, of all things, Suggs's 'Camden Town' really clearly. And the Britpop battle, which I remember preferring Country House.

It was only several years later I realised 1995 contains two of the greatest songs ever recorded in Pulp's 'Common People' and N-Trance's 'Set You Free'. I think 1996 just edges it for the amount of classics but there's some damn good ones in '95, helped by memories of one of the best and warmest summers in recent history!

Shout out to McAlmont & Butler's 'Yes' too, which I've only discovered in the last few years, brilliant track.

1995 was probably my 2nd favourite year of the 90s musically, only surpassed in 1997. A few of my favourites included

Suggs:- I'm Only Sleeping
Beatles:- Baby It's You
The Real McCoy:- Love & Devotion
Blur:- Country House
Louise:- Light of My Life
Nick Cave/ Kylie Minogue:- Where the Wild Roses Grow
Snap:- The First, The Last Eternity
Edwyn Collins:- A Girl Like You

I can look up some more before I come back to DS on Easter Monday!

2 very under rated, very good follow up singles, which are rarely heard

As I have been reading many year and decade charts to decide on my 2nd favourite songs by several artists, I have unearthed my top 20 from 1995. The rest of them, in addition to ones I listed on Friday, were as follows:-

Boo-Radleys:- Wake Up Boo
Deuce:- I Need You
Portishead:- Sour Times
Paul Weller:- The Changing Man
Perez Prez Prado:- Guaglione
U2:- Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
Menswear:- Daydreamer
Supergrass:- Allright
Dionne Farris:- I Know
Roxette:- The Look '95
Enya:- Anywhere Is
Passengers:- Miss Sarajevo
Levellers:- Just the One

If this seems one song too many, it is because Snap's one wasn't in my top 20 of 1995 after all!

PJ Harvey's To Bring You My Love was one of the best songs/albums of the year.

Don't forget 'Stars' by Dubstar- love that song. (we'll overlook Scatman John & Doop for now )
