The 45 hits from the 90s you can still play

Party at our newsroom with hits from the 90s blaring out of a laptop. Because honestly: this was a golden era, guys.

I still know them by heart. Bizarre how many lyrics you still know, ten centuries and light years on. I once stood shouting along to this at my first hockey party, first kiss, first time drunk, first time broke, first time without parents on holiday. The memories that music can bring back... Unprecedented.

And yes, these 90’s juggernauts we listened to delightfully on our discmans.
