Woo hoo!
Blur - Song 2
Although burdened with the probably most boring song title ever, this tune by the British band was good enough to still get famous.
Published in 1997 on their fifth studio album "Blur"

Portishead - Wandering Star
Official video by this British Trip Hop band. The music is different from the album version.
The tune was published on the debut album "Dummy" in 1994.

Beck - Loser
Originally released as Beck's second single on Bong Load Records in 1993 as a 12 inch vinyl with only 500 pressings.
From the slide guitar intro combining with a sitar to the sampled drum beat from the 70ies, to Beck's non-nensical lyrics and his laid back singing, this combination of unusual sounds makes it a perfect song to me.

Faithless - Insomnia
What a club tune! And live Faithless were nothing but excellent. I can not count the number of remixes I have come across of this tune.
This tune was published on the album "Reverence" in 1996, their debut album. A true classic of electronic club music.

The British band "Talk Talk" famous for their hit "It's a shame" released this tune on their album "Laughing Stock" in 1991.
Laurie Anderson - O Superman
From the album "Big Science" released in 1992. She tells in this song that she has a message on her answering machine: "You don't know me, but I know you". This tune is the most reduced to basics, just her voice and a vocoder, later a few synths (or Fairlights) join in.

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Another great US rock band, singer Chris Cornell. This video still strikes me as very weird and fascinating.
Published in 1994 on their album "Superunknown"

Puddle of Mud - She f*****g hates me
From their debut album "Come Clean" from 1991. The video always makes me laugh. Among the best of Grunge, I would say.

Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit
Released in 1991, this tune by the US grunge band is still one of the defining rock songs of the 1990ies.

Björk - Possibly maybe
Björk is from Iceland and I have been following her music for a long time. Iceland produced an amazing number of musicians, considering that there are about 400k of inhabitants. From her 1993 album "Debut" this tune seems very minimalistic.

Faithless - Insomnia
A very influential track from 1996.
This song has been remixed a ton, and it definitely deserves that treatment. A true classic of electronic music.
