Oh actually more of the music I liked was more 2000s ish. Destinys child, misteeq, missy Elliot, Daniel bedingfield, Natasha bedingfield, nothing as catchy as that stuff was anymore.
WTH happened to UK garage music anyway? That stuff was insanely awesome and hardcore.

The best decade of my life.
Loved the 90's. being born in 86, I could sort of appreciate the mid, late 90'sI remember getting a cd given to me called dance tip 95, it had gangstas paradise, boom boom boom, scatman, runaway, try me out, baby baby etc etc. also not forgetting the two best oasis cd's. cigarettes and alcohol is still one of my top tunes to this day
Exactly, where did the music go, I accept decades traditionally change but the music seemed to disappear overnight. I seem to have skipped a decade and am starting to wake up a bit now toward my past. I feel younger and more nostalgic then ever, never a good thing.
Someone started the new world order, maybe New Labour or the results from the '9/11' tragedy and all the resultant ideologies that came from it and we now have a sterile arts scene?

Born in 1978, therefore was a teenager throughout the 90s.
90s was the best for music although I would say that 80s was the best for films. You had the Arnie action, Robocop, Bill & Ted. Back to the 90s and music, you were either an indie kid or a dance kid but with plenty of offerings for both. For me, I was definitely dance with a bit of crossover like Republica. Loved the Rollo & Sister Bliss productions e.g. Donna Summer remixes, with them being Faithless of course. Loved Erick Morillo (Reel 2 Real) and the Italian brothers Paolo & Gianni Visnadi who produced for Alex Party and Livin' Joy. Yeah some great producers back then.
Even though I'm not a football person, Euro '96 stuck out as the most enjoyable Euro/world cup to me.
I don't know how anyone can like contemporary chart nowadays. It's all r'n'b and X Factor.
Rose-tinted spectacles off, there are many advancements in other areas to enjoy nowadays. Tablets and PDAs have merged to give you the mobile phone as you know it today. Most cafés and train stations now serve real coffee as apposed to instant. Television programmes can be viewed at later times without the need of a video recorder. The video format has updated twice - VHS to DVD and DVD to blu-ray. Dial-up has largely been replaced by >T1 speeds. There is digital downloads too but I've stuck with buying the physical media.

BOom boOm BooM BOOM! I waNT U in mY roOm. LetS sPeND ta NiTe TogEtHA, 4RM nOw unTiL 4EVa.
The music was a LOT cheesier back then (S-Club 7 style!) but then again the charts were bad then AND now. I remember people showing off with expensive Sony Ericson phones that could barely power their colour screens. Gaming software was ahead of hardware for many people- I remember friends gaming at 15FPS :/
i was just a kid, some good stuff on tv though, didnt really listen to music much back then, used to spend a lot of time playing out, best years for me were the 00s left school in 2000 i think, got part time job, went to college and had a ton of fun with mates.. probably should have done weed..
I youtubed that song with low expectations, but it turned out to be really awesome and funky. Where did that sound go?
It died out and wasn't popular. Misteeq were the only successful UK group with that kind of music. Another song that did well in that genre you might remember was shake your body, can't remember the artist name though.
Oh, and look up Artful Dodger, they were a class dance act, but not very successful. Woman trouble was my favorite song from them.

Rewind - bo selecta
Moving to fast (I'm hazarding this was actually 'movin' 2 fast').
Yea but most of their songs didn't do to well and they flopped fast. 1 album wonders.
.....
Its a UK thing, style that we bring, go underground let the journey begin.
Were the Misteeq, in chorus we sing, quick of the mark ring a ding ding, ding.
In the mix with a bag of tricks, feel the vibe with the one Sunship.
Move to the beat its about the music, roll through these tracks with our fresh tactics.
She was total Marmite! Lots of people hated Alesha's MCing, but there was never anyone else like her apart from Left Eye in TLC. 90s - early 2k music marathon time.
