#Top31DavidBowie no 2 Can't Help Thinking About Me youtu.be/m9upuHPKKJI?... Bowie swinging in the 60s. Sounds a bit like The Who. I remember I got this on a free cd with a magazine. Think it was Mojo or Uncut

#Top31DavidBowie No 31 unranked A New Career in a New Town youtu.be/kZssy0IiyMA?... Reminds of the amazing BBC Krautrock documentary (see comments)

@jphillll.bsky.social www.jphilll.com/p/reject-ai-... Great article 👏

#90sTop30 no 30 Oasis - Supersonic youtu.be/BJKpUH2kJQg?... "I need to by myself, I can't be no one else" an opening line that was a mantra for the rest of the 90s. Oasis turned my life upside down when I was 12 and set out the path for the rest of my life, as it did for so many others. Greatest💚

#90sTop30 no 29 Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz youtu.be/mcZCvnyu5MQ?... From MadMike and the most important label to come out of Detroit,Underground Resistance. the best records in dance music are the ones that got danced to by heads from different genre scenes, and this is one such record.Classic

youtu.be/DuhsKpzdODs?... MBV walked on stage to this last night @ricrus77.bsky.social @mrrdocherty.bsky.social

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to: Sex Pistols Brian Wilson Gil Scott-Heron Little Simz My Bloody Valentine (was there last night. Amazing)

Last night was the loudest I've heard a band, and the lights were so hypnotic it was like we were in another world. A fantastic experience. Thank you, My Bloody Valentine 💚

Always missed.

#90sTop30 no 28 Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (TROY) youtu.be/k6mdRv0ZdR8?... My pal said if I sounded like a record it would be this. A soulful hip-hop joint with sentimental lyrics of gratitude about the ones that mean the most to us. And producer Pete Rock is true master TROY

This wasn't a normal gig. This was an experience!! Aye, my ears are ringing and I am lightheaded lol. A complete trip. Brilliant gig 👏

#90sTop30 no 27 Pepe Bradock - Deep Burnt youtu.be/QTvFzBS6e68?... When this got played in the club, or back at the house party, you felt the world would stop. One of the most beautiful deep house (proper d h) records ever made. Reminds me a lot of Gilles Peterson, as he still plays it. Classic

David Bowie & Robin Williams, NYC 2002, by Kevin Mazur.

#90sTop30 no 26 Norma Jean Bell - I'm the Baddest Bitch (Moodymann Mix) youtu.be/SV9KLYeeQ48?... Another late 90s crossover dance floor classic that was massive in the sweaty house and techno clubs and the suave soul clubs. This mix is by the Miles Davis of house, Moodymann from Detroit. Genius

#90sTop30 no 25 Naughty By Nature - Hip-hop Hooray youtu.be/Rz1Xn1vzOM4?... "I live and die for Hip Hop, this is Hip Hop of today". The anthem of all anthems and the video represents the fun, togetherness and culture of the wonderful movement of hip-hop. Early90s was the true golden era! 'Hey-ho!'

Just another Jewish suburban kid who didn't know how much he needed reggae until Jimmy Cliff and the Harder soundtrack showed up and smacked some stupid from him. Very sad to see this man pass. Very grateful for his full life, clear voice and true artistry.

Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican reggae singer, actor and cultural icon, dies aged 81

#90sTop30 no 24 Not 80s lol

#80sTop30 no 24 Cast - Two of a Kind youtu.be/nR9eQ9NdOpc?... Great band who, along with The Charlatans, are the bands I seen live most in the 90s. This is the debut album closer and one of the best tracks to see live as it seems to go on forever. Cast always sound like they are having fun 😎

I wrote a few words about Mani for The Sunday Times - I didn’t know it would be behind a paywall, so here it is if you would like to read it: (1/7)

#90sTop30 no 23 Brand New Heavies - Midnight at the Oasis youtu.be/CkeTEkmFUaI?... Sunday soulful all-dayer vibez! the acid jazz, rare groove sound is great for such vibe! N'Dea Davenport at her exciting best and most sweetest. She would have been on the list with Guru but I had GangStarr already

💚

#90sTop30 no 22 DJ Sneak - You Can't Hide From Your Bud youtu.be/3HOb4VnkA7Y?... It's Saturday, it's party time!! This classic has to be one of the best floors fillers ever and it has made folk lose their mind and body over the years. One of the best from Chicago's 'House Gangster'

💚

#90sTop30 no 21 Primal Scream - If They Move Kill 'Em youtu.be/frmTBFWK1o4?... It's all about Mani today. It's like losing one of your gang. Primals best era was 97-2002 and Mani was one of the main reasons for that. He brought them back that street swagger.. thanks for the memories, rkid 💚

I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday - It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself. One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend Love you Mani x x Never to be forgotten

Such sad news to hear about Mani. The Stone Roses were a massive band for me in 89/90. That booming bass at the start of I Wanna Be Adored was (and still remains) a truly goosebumps moment. But it wasn’t just The Roses, Primal Scream produced their best work with him in the fold. A very sad day.

Oh man, this sucks. What a talent. RIP Gary “Mani” Mounfield, founding member & bassist of The Stone Roses, and bassist for Primal Scream. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

A true great. A man of the people and an amazing bass player. RIP Mani 💚

#90sTop30 no 20 Paul Weller - Wild Wood youtu.be/A9_ffgwLVCs?... PW, a hero to many, perhaps made his best solo stuff during the 90s. This song is a brilliant metaphor about the busy and demanding city life and about longing for an escape. F**k the neoliberal bollocks, people and music is better x

#90sTop30 no 19 Slam - Positive Education youtu.be/Oxt1x7o4Lfg?... After last night's great moment for Scottish football, it's only right that today's choice is the anthem for so many great parties in Scotland during the 90s and to this day. Slam are an institution up here and forever will be 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

@wellerfanpod.bsky.social youtu.be/Yg3t2nXaCzQ?... PW bang on here 👍

#90sTop30 no 18 Gang Starr - DWYCK youtu.be/TgelVkHEKdw?... This is hip-hop! Early 90s was when it was it it's peak and you felt it was a community or a big crew to hang with. All good times, with streetwise swagger and intelligence and a dope soulful beat to get the heads bobbing, party started

#90sTop30 no 17 Nirvana - Son of a Gun youtu.be/_3WaIFPwtpQ?... Can't do a 90s list without Nirvana. This is a cover of my fellow-Scots The Vaselines. Nirvana had a lot of Scottish connections, on tour with Teenage Fanclub etc. Brilliant band and forever remembered and being discovered. True greats

#70sTop30 Starts 1st January 2026. #00sTop30 ✅ #80sTop30 ✅ #90sTop30 Currently running…

#90sTop30 no 16 Incognito feat Jocelyn Brown - Always There youtu.be/X6JM8iagb8o?... It's Sunday, and there is a wee bit sun out today.perfect vibe for a Sunday all-dayer, and here is an anthem for such occasion!! Been a few versions of this, all amazing, and all massive across the UK soul scene

#90sTop30 no 15 Rosie Gaines - Closer Than Close youtu.be/SUlBXdjG-Z8?... It's Saturday, it's time to get on the floor! massive rework of the super talented Rosie Gaines. Rosie was part of Prince's group for Diamond and Pearls. This joint still rocks the house when played on a dope system. Classic

John Maclean: All that life can give us 19 Nov, University of Stirling – free Author & poet Henry Bell will discuss his creative & historical work around Scottish socialist John Maclean (1879–1923), followed by an open archive & poetry reading

Wait… what? Did the right thing? Really? Well done @albomp.bsky.social & co. That’s hugely important! 🙏👏🙏👏🙏👏 #auspol

#90sTop30 no 14 Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend youtu.be/c7iGUQ9W1qs?... "On Friday night we went through to The Arches". This is Scotland's alternative national anthem. Out Friday, till Sunday night/Monday morning. Pubs, clubs, warehouses and the best part: back to a house party with pals

#90sTop30 no 13 Underworld - Dark and Long (Dark Train) youtu.be/sHK9usHwxSs?... The greatest book and film of the 90s had a soundtrack to the 90s for many young groups of pals who were into music, culture and parties. "Deserves to sell more copies than the bible". Best ever and still quoting it

#90sTop30 no 12 The Wonder Stuff - Welcome to the Cheap Seats youtu.be/plP-ekxhN7E?... I think the song is about having a laugh at those who are negative and draining lol. Best way to deal with folk like that. It's a brilliant joyous song bursting with colour, and the wonderful Kirsty MacColl RIP

"That was always Mr Stein’s last words – Always entertain. You have the ability, otherwise you wouldn’t be playing at Celtic Park, you wouldn’t be pulling on that jersey, so go and entertain those supporters who’ve paid good money to see you." Bertie Auld 🍀🍀🍀

#90sTop30 no 11 Paperclip People - Oscillator youtu.be/2g9jF-h-xm4?... Nowadays Carl Craig seems to be known as a superstar dj. But any real Detroit head will tell you that he is a producer and composer first and foremost. He is one of the people to put beauty into electronic music. genius 💚

#90sTop30 no 10 Wu-Tang Clan - Can It Be All So Simple If i could have been in any band in the 90s it would have been Oasis or Wu as they were just a gang of pals who loved music. And is this song tells, music is an escape and gives hope for a better day 💚 youtu.be/7m148vZDwJA?...
