I think Walking On Broken Glass is one of the first songs I remember listening to on the radio. I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time, looking at the release date of the album sort of confirms this. My mother played alot of old 80s stuff, and the Carpenters. And classical - she still has loads of old LPs, but sadly nothing to play them on as the record player died years ago, so they've been sitting atop a cupboard gathering dust.

Hmm..

Slowdive - When The Sun Hits, Alison
Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. 2, Survival Of The Fittest
Dr. Dre - **** Wit Dre Day, Let Me Ride, Nuthin' but a G Thang
Nas - NY State Of Mind, The World Is Yours, One Love
Autechre - Dael, Rotar
Squarepusher - Papalon, Coopers World
Aphex Twin - 4, Girl/Boy Song
DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World, Changeling
Nirvana - Lithium
Sonic Youth - JC, Washing Machine, The Diamond Sea
Massive Attack - Teardrop, Angel, Lately
Flaming Lips - 30,000 Feet of Despair, Race For The Prize, She Don't Use Jelly
Portishead - Sour Times, Strangers
Notorious B.I.G - Me and my Bitch, Everyday Struggle, Ready To Die

I might have not liked some of these in the 90's, but they are my favourite tunes from the 90's

- Skunk Anansie: Anything by them They rule! In particular, I Can Dream, Weak and Hedonism.

- Bjork: Joga, Hyperballad, Isobel, I Miss You.. well, all her stuff too
