In a cynical "threadnapping" attempt, it's like the 80s, but 10 more!

so -- I was gonna stick with the '80s thread, 'til I saw this post there:

The quintessential 80s pop song?

I don't believe this has been posted, getting difficult to keep up. Addition to the tv & movie additions. Same movie, also a classic.

"Recorded in 1990".
Well -- in that case, I'll just drop my own personal favorite Sinéad O'Connor tune over here in this thread!

I also quite like this cover she did for Two Rooms.

But...
in full disclosure.
She ain't my favorite Sinéad.
This is my favorite Sinéad -- and very much of the '90s:

... with more 90s esoterica.

There are better 90's pop songs, but I can't think of any that exemplify the style of the time as much as this one.

And The KLF's Stadium House trilogy never gets old.

Ah, thanks for opening this up. I had really wanted to post this in the 80's thread, but it's 90's.
Haddaway. Love this song un-ironically.

Pretty much pick a grunge band… but that’s just too easy. And grunge is dead. This one probably changed music As it’s played today. Not my favorite but undeniable about its influence.
