After enjoying the first half hour last night, I went back and watched the second half-hour this morning. And I was singing along again!
Shola Ama - "
You Might Need Somebody"
Robbie Williams - "
Angels"
Chumbawamba - "
Tubthumping"
Gala - "
Freed From Desire"
Natalie Imbruglia - "
Torn" [I wonder if she will turn up in the "Neighbours" finale? I already know that Ian Smith, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are going to]
Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman - "
Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò)" [Do you approve of this type of opera crossover,
@elektra blue ?]
Ultra Naté - "
Free"
And there were some more songs I didn't know:
Beck - "
The New Pollution" [OK, so this was early in the programme, between the Backstreet Boys and All Saints. But I conveniently left it off my previous post. I do know some of his other songs, but just not this one]
Bush - "
Swallowed" [Never heard tell of either the band or the song]
Eels - "
Novocaine For The Soul" [Eek! Just looked it up and it's a drug!
]
Is Bush more to your pleasing,
@elektra blue ?
I caught the last 10 minutes of the programme on before that special, and it was talking about the music of 1997. And I heard a song that I was expecting to make into this compilation. But, it didn't, so I will add it in now:
Louise - "
Let's Go Round Again"
I had such a crush on Louise Nurding, and was so jealous when footballer Jamie Redknapp married her. But, a few days ago I watched the episode of "DNA Journey" that Jamie did with cricketer Freddie Flintoff, and he is such a likable guy! (He and Freddie both are, actually). So, I have now forgiven him.
[I wonder if they have a 1998 special planned. Because
my biggest music crush should definitely be appearing on it...]
it sounds like elementary school birthday party to me
Ah, I forgot that you are that little bit younger than me. I started secondary school in 1997. But, I totally agree!
(with some songs from my sister's "stayout of my room" playlist)
Now I'm intrigued!
but i've never been a fan of Placebo, i can't stand Brian Molko's voice
Sorry about that. It was just the type of music I could imagine you would have liked. But, I can definitely relate to what you are saying. I had that problem with Damiano David around this time last year...
On a side note, always wanted to see Ashley Wagner skate to "Say What you Want" by Texas, though now also thinking it would be a good program for Sakamoto.
I don't know about Ashley, but I do agree that "Say What you Want" could make a good skating programme. And there are a few other songs on that compilation that I think would too, e.g. "You Might Need Somebody" by Shola Ama, or "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia (nearly sure the latter has been done, but not sure abour the former).
And by sheer coincidence, there was a whole hour of a
concert where Texas were playing with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra straight after that TOTP special. But, I haven't watched it (yet, anyway).
Anyway, I hope you have all enjoyed my trip down memory lane.

. She hung back then slowly made her way and we heard It’s Too Late and I Feel the Earth Move.. the songs were very new..I think. Tapestry had just been released.
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY EVERYBODY!!!
