I really like the diversity of sounds in the middle of the 1990's. There was plenty of great dance songs (mainly Eurohouse at this time) around, but you find also Britpop, Indie Rock, R&B, Reggae and Pop.

Unfortunately 5 songs are not included, because I don't own them as Single-CD. These are:

1. Beverley Knight - Down For The One (#55)

2. Teenage Fanclub - Neil Jung (#62)

3. Mike & The Mechanics - Anotehr Cup Of Coffee (#65)

4. Cyndi Lauper - Come On Home (#66 - actually I have the dance mixes of it, but they are too long to be put here)

5. Alison Moyet - Solid Wood (#71)

Now talking about my favourites. These are my 10 favourite songs from that chart:

1. De'Lacy - Hideaway (One of my favourite house songs of all time with great vocals)

2. JX - Son Of A Gun

3. The Original - I Luv You Baby

4. Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You

5. Blur - Country House

6. Ash - Girl From Mars

7. Mary Kiani - When I Call Your Name

8. Deuce - On The Bible

9. TLC - Waterfalls

10. Diana King - Shy Guy

What are your favourites from that list?

The De'Lacy, Original and JX tracks are great.

As for Deuce I prefer 'Call It Love'.

Prefer 'Run Away' from Real McCoy.

Some great ones, lots of average too

favs, Isobel, You Oughta Know, Skunk Anansie, Ash, Radiohead

My favourites would be: A Girl Like You, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, I'm Only Sleeping, Just and Another Cup Of Coffee.

These are my 10 favourites from the list, although there are plenty more good ones outside of these.

Björk - Isobel

Utah Saints - Ohio

The Charlatans - Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over

Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

Diana King - Shy Guy

Radiohead - Just

Seal - Kiss From A Rose

De'Lacy - Hideaway (Deep Dish Radio Edit)

TLC - Waterfalls

The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You (Theme From 'Friends')

Finally, this one would have been great if it didn't contain the ridiculous voiceover from the tango advert on it 😕 I couldn't believe it was on there when I bought it! It's such a shame as otherwise it works well as a more pumped up version of the original.

Felix - Don't You Want Me (Patrick Prins Edit)

My top 10 would look like this:

1. Björk - Isobel

2. Seal - Kiss From A Rose

3. De'Lacy - Hideaway (Deep Dish Radio Edit)

4. Madonna - Human Nature (Radio Edit)

5. Radiohead - Just

6. Echobelly - Great Things

7. Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

8. Supergrass - Alright

9. Jinny - Keep Warm (Original 7" Edit)

10. Berri - The Sunshine After The Rain

I too am very fond of 1995 music. This is what I made from the Top 30 of that particular chart https://myrandommusicblog.blogspot.com/2023/08/top-30-in-1995-reviewed-week-34.html

Thanks for commenting here :)

Glad that all of you also have Hideaway in your list.

@dandy* great list of songs. I agree with your comment on the Felix release.

@TheSnake I also prefer "Run away" and the stuff they did together with MC Sar.

@Bjork great list of indie songs from that week

@King Rollo "A Girl Like You" is ace, also like the Suggs song.

@Jade Great list of songs. Absolutely forgot to put "Alright" in my list. One of my favourite Supergrass songs only topped by "Caught By The Fuzz" and "Richard III".

@My Random Music It is great to see your votings in your blog. I'm also not to keen on the original mix of "On The Bible", but the Wand Remix is great imo.

Which looks like you have 8 favourites when you only have 5!

Yes, I did think of removing the commas from the U2 song. 😃
