Great Western pop masterpieces and hit songs of the 90s (21–30)
Wanna beSpice Girls
This is the debut and biggest hit song by the Spice Girls, a group famously known for having David Beckham’s wife as a member (few people know the other members’ names).
It was also performed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, where they sang while standing on the roofs of London taxis.
More than WordsExtreme
It’s the 1991 hit by the American rock band Extreme—an acoustic song that reached No.
1 in the U.S.
It’s included on their second album, Pornograffitti.
This ballad is notable for Nuno Bettencourt’s technique of tapping on the guitar body.
Born SlippyUnderworld
It’s the 1995 hit by Underworld, the British techno-electronic music group known for the theme song of the film Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor.
By the time of the 2012 London Olympics, they had become big enough to serve as music directors.
Semi-Charmed LifeThird Eye Blind
It’s a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind, included on their self-titled 1997 debut album, and it became a worldwide hit.
The “tu-tu-tu, tu-tu-tu-tu~” phrase combined with the catchy melody gives it a bright, uplifting feel that makes you feel energized.
TubthumpingChumbawamba
It’s a 1997 hit song by Chumbawamba, a band active in the UK since the 1980s.
Known for provocative, politically charged lyrics, Chumbawamba is said to have made this their least political song.
The title “Tubthumping” apparently means something like campaigning on the stump.
