I'd forgotten all about Paris Angels. Perfume is a superb track. Remember seeing them live at The Zap, must have been very early 90s and it was one in a series of really great gigs there featuring indie / crossover bands early on in their careers. Can remember seeing Paris Angles, Ocean Colour Scene, Bridewell Taxis and, perhaps the best, Flowered Up with Barry Mooncult in full on large head through larger styrofoam flower meltdown and a large group of Brighton's "lads" going mad with an inflatable can of Red Stripe.

Quite impossible to pick 5 favourites from the 90's. I would be happy to put down my top 50 but even then I would have to omit some excellent tracks.

However, Probably my favourite of the 90's is Let Me Be Your Fantasy by Baby D.

 

[Big_Unit]

indeed, was released to promote 'substance' iirc.

Not my favourite of musical decades but:

'faster/pcp' - manic street preachers
'not alone' - bernard butler
'at the river' - groove armada
'regret' - new order
'the only living boy in new cross' - carter usm

these!!!

 

[Kumquat]

For me I'd go for:

Screamager by Therapy
Release the Pressure by Leftfield
Halcyon by Orbital
U-Mass by Pixies

and for the emotion in summer 96 Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and the lighting seeds.

 

[Kumquat]

Completely forgot my favourite for some reason. Higher than the Sun by Primal Scream.

 

[Baldseagull]

5 Brit

Massive Attack - Unfinished sympathy
Radiohead- Creep
Stereo MC's - Connected
Prodigy - Breathe
Edwyn Collins - Never met a Girl like you before

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - Robson and Jerome
I Believe - Robson and Jerome
You'll Never Walk Alone - Robson and Jerome
Saturday Night at the Movies - Robson and Jerome
Smack my Bitch up - Prodigy

 

[Mr Icicle Boots]

What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - Robson and Jerome
I Believe - Robson and Jerome
You'll Never Walk Alone - Robson and Jerome
Saturday Night at the Movies - Robson and Jerome
Smack my Bitch up - Prodigy

Some right crackers on that list. I can't agree with your 5th choice though, Prodigy?!? Personally i'd have gone with ; (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover - Robson and Jerome. Each to their own.

Cigarettes and Alcohol - Oasis
LSI - The Shamen

God I loved the 90's I bloody loved it. I'm going for 5 years instead of songs

94-98 with a special shoutout to 96, IMO the best year, ever.
