Posted January 22, 20178 yr Since 1997 was a special year for me I'm working on a Spotify playlist to share all the fantastic songs that were released in 1997 and will be 20 years old - yes 20! Scary isn't it? I've decided on my top 20: Torn Barbie Girl Never Ever Sunchyme The Drugs Don't Work Brimful Of Asha Bitch Mmmbop D'you Know What I Mean Angels Love Shine A Light 5,6,7,8 My Heart Will Go On Semi Charmed Life Song 2 Tubthumping A Thousand Trees A Change Would Do You Good Did It Again Candle In The Wind 97 You can read my reasons for picking these songs on my music blog and also get the Spotify playlist as I'm not going to post the links here and get done for spamming. What songs would you pick and if they are not already on my playlist I will add them on. Cheers! Edited January 22, 20178 yr by Steve McSteve

January 22, 20178 yr Author Noooooo, I feel ancient! Haha wait until I do my 30 years Playlist. I almost died today when I realised 'heaven is a place on earth' by Belinda Carlisle is 30!

January 23, 20178 yr I'd leave off My Heart Will Go On as it's very much a 1998 song in the UK, the film Titanic came out in '98 here too. Also is that the Fatboy Slim remix of Brimful of Asha or the original? Here's my personal choice of 40 tracks from '97, arranged in a vague pop-to-rock-to-dance order (was gonna be 20, then 25 but I couldn't stop adding!): No Mercy - Where Do You Go Eternal - I Wanna Be The Only One Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back) Katrina & The Waves - Love Shine a Light Pet Shop Boys - A Red Letter Day Natalie Imbruglia - Torn Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me All Saints - Never Ever White Town - Your Woman Erasure - Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me No Doubt - Don't Speak James - She's a Star The Divine Comedy - Everybody Knows (Except You) Texas - Black Eyed Boy Monaco - What Do You Want From Me? Supergrass - Richard III Chumbawumba - Tubthumping The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony Radiohead - Paranoid Android Echo & The Bunnymen - Nothing Lasts Forever Radiohead - Karma Police The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work The Source feat Candi Staton - You Got The Love (Now Voyager remix) Blueboy - Remember Me Bentley Rhythm Ace - Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out Adam F - Circles Tin Tin Out - Strings For Yasmin Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar (Armand's Dark Garage Remix) Tori Amos - Professional Widow (Armand Van Helden's Star Trunk Funkin' Mix) Double 99 - RIP Groove Olive - You're Not Alone DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima Sash - Encore Une Fois Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats Fatboy Slim - Everybody Needs A Carnival Underworld - Moaner Gala - Freed From Desire Sash - Ecuador Bellini - Samba De Janeiro Dario G - Sunchyme What a year!!
January 23, 20178 yr Haha wait until I do my 30 years Playlist. I almost died today when I realised 'heaven is a place on earth' by Belinda Carlisle is 30! Feeling less ancient-I wasn't born 30 years ago!
January 23, 20178 yr My comments are in bold Some of mine are on Dalek's list but here are some not mentioned so far: Your Woman - White Town Oh dear, I forgot about this one! Toxygene - The Orb It's a great song, along with Little Fluffy Clouds, Assassin, Perpetual Dawn and Katskills (which is a later one from 2007) You Got The Love - The Source featuring Candi Staton I didn't know about this one, probably cause my mind was more on the 1991 release, but I might as well count the '97 remix. Home - Depeche Mode Now that you mention it, I might as well add Barrel Of A Gun, which reminds me of Nine Inch Nails a bit, to my list. Sister Of Night - Depeche Mode Liking this Susan's House - Eels Good song, and Novocaine For The Soul sounds like an admirable song Nothing Lasts Forever - Echo and the Bunnymen Good comeback Somewhere - Pet Shop Boys Another good song from PSB Man Of A Thousand Faces - Marillion I like it
January 23, 20178 yr I'm doing a similar blog/playlist soon for 1997 on my blog. Quite a few have already mentioned my favourites from that year, so I'll mention a couple I love that haven't already had a look in: Dannii Minogue - All I Wanna Do. Strange to remember this was her big "comeback" moment into pop music. She looked amazing with the blonde hair too! And of course the first proper Brian Higgins/Xenomania production to hit the charts. North and South - Tarantino's New Star. I loved "No Sweat", the CBBC series they starred in at the time (sort of a proto S Club 7), and I had this on cassette when it was released. An epic barnstorming pop nugget! Cathy Dennis - "Waterloo Sunset". Admittedly a cover, but a blindingly good one to boot. Ray Davies from the Kinks produced her version, and indeed a lot of her final studio album "Am I The Kinda Girl" which had some proper Britpop type gems on it. Boyzone - "Picture of You". This for me was one of their finest hours this single. And I can do a surprisingly effective impression of Ronan Keating singing this :D
January 24, 20178 yr Janet Jackson - Together Again Mariah Carey - Honey Spice Girls - Mama / Who Do You Think You Are Spice Girls - Too Much
