What do you reckon, have I made any glaring errors? Let me know! I'm guessing there might be some Manic Street Preachers and My Bloody Valentine fans who won't be overimpressed with their omissions, for a start. (Although, in mitigation, I have at least included a version of a MBV song!)

Wot, no Slowdive? ; )
Wot no Chesney Hawkes!
I woulda suggested:
KLF - Justified n Ancient,
I Touch Myself - Divinyls,
Sit Down - James,
Those Were The Days Of Our Lives - for Freddie,
International Bright Young Thing - by er, somebody,
and I quite liked Curtis Stigers (who has since been imitated by The Kings Of Leon!)
I was aware of Slowdive & Cranes at the time but just couldn't discern enough of a hook in their songs to ever really get sucked in.
Alas no Justified & Ancient (or Last Train To Traincentral) in the Spotify library. 'Sit Down' was bubbling under, as were 'Right Here, Right Now', 'There's No Other Way', 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Sometimes I wonder about this self-imposed 32-track limit on my playlists, chaps, I really do.
Chesney forever!!
Catch The Breeze *was* 1991 pour moi.
Also - 'Screamadelica'
20 years old. Can't believe that!
Good choices, but.
Would agree with Dickie on KLF and Divinyls.
I recognise about half of those (though some of the others I'm intrigued enough to investigate further). The only one I'd scrap from the list is the Quartz feat. Dina Carroll - but only because it reminds me of the radio station I worked at in 91 (and still do, sadly) which played it constantly.
