Spin Doctors - Two Princes

2 Unlimited - Tribal Dance

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

Reel 2 Real feat. The Mad Stuntman - I Like To Move It

Warren G and Nate Dogg - Regulate

This is too tough so I’m deliberately ignoring things that have lots of votes already…

 

New Order - Regret

Erasure - Always

Enigma - Return to Innocence

Suede - Stay Together

SWV - Right Here (Human Nature) - genuinely prefer this to the MJ song it samples

Not so difficult to narrow down to five this time.

 

Enigma - Return To Innocence

Youssou N'Dour feat. Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds

New Order - Regret

Brian May - Too Much Love Will Kill You

Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do

 

For the RIP slot can we have That's Livin' Alright by Joe Fagin.

 

There's also Bernie Marsden, the Whitesnake guitarist. Can we have Here I Go Again, which he co-wrote with David Coverdale. He left the band in 1982 so we need the original version from that year rather than the 1987 version which was a big hit. I'm putting it here so you don't have spend time looking for the right version:

 

 

 

 

SWV - Right Here (Human Nature Mix)

Youssou N'Dour feat. Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds

The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance) (Fine with Out of Space too)

Reel 2 Real feat. The Mad Stuntman - I Like To Move It

Warren G and Nate Dogg - Regulate

 

Oops that's a lot of classics x

 

(I assume we haven't forgotten All Star for RIP slot too x)

Suede - Stay Together (full-length - 8 1/2 minute - version preferably)

Youssou N'Dour feat. Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds

Annie Lennox - Love Song For A Vampire

Oasis - Whatever

Enigma - Return To Innocence

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl

The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)

Oasis- Whatever

George Michael - Too Funky

I think SWV deserve a play even with just two noms, it’s rare we get R&B/Soul representation - and maybe also just because I really like it haha

Spin Doctors - Two Princes

Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl

The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)

The Prodigy - Out Of Space

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

 

Not being tactical this week (I've not even looked at everyone else's nominations) so I don't know how much of a waste these are xo

Glad to have joined some (most in the end) of today's session:
