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!

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!

 

Some of mine are on Dalek's list but here are some not mentioned so far:

 

Your Woman - White Town

Toxygene - The Orb

You Got The Love - The Source featuring Candi Staton

Home - Depeche Mode

Sister Of Night - Depeche Mode

Susan's House - Eels

Nothing Lasts Forever - Echo and the Bunnymen

Somewhere - Pet Shop Boys

Man Of A Thousand Faces - Marillion

 

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

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!!

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!

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

 

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

Janet Jackson - Together Again

Mariah Carey - Honey

Spice Girls - Mama / Who Do You Think You Are

Spice Girls - Too Much
