OK, since my readers seems to like the music lists, let’s pick another year and have a look at some favorites. Not sure why, but 1997 just popped up in my head.
When I look at the hitlists from that year it seems that my favorites were in the lower regions. But looking at the list I had some good oh yeah moments. Some songs are a bit more housy, while others are just great rock/pop songs.
1997 was also the year that The Orb‘s album Orblivion came out. That album was on heavy rotation. I went to Paris with my mate Bart to see them live and have a look around the city. Two days later we saw them again in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Great times.
10. The Orb – S.A.L.T.
My favorite track from the Orblivion album.
9. ICT – Lasciati Tentare
Could have mentioned this one in yesterday’s bilingual list.
8. Sash! – Encore Une Fois
Yep, very cheesy, but still very catchy.
7. Tic Tac Toe – Warum?
This one has been mentioned before in my list with favorite German songs. Really strong song about a friend of the band who died due to an overdose.
6. Cheb Khaled – Aicha
This was a real big hit in France at the time.
5. Anouk – Nobody’s wife
Some Dutch pride here with Hollands one and only rockchick.
4. Skunk Anansie – Hedonism
We saw Skunk Anansie live last year, damn what a voice.
3. The Sunclub – Fiesta De Los Tamborileros
I side project from legendary Dutch DJ Robin Jaydee Albers. Listening to this you can feel the summer coming.
2. Da Hool – Meet her at the love parade
Have to admit this is the only track I know from Da Hool, but damn it’s a great one.
1. Puff Daddy [feat. Faith Evans & 112] – I’ll Be Missing You
Before he passed away I think I never heard of Biggie, but this track draw a lot of attention. One of the best tribute songs ever made.
