There's been a big resurgence in the decade's popularity over the last few years and I think that's a cyclical thing. In the noughties, we were all looking back to the eighties. Well, some of us. He he he... Even though the seventies are my favourite decade, I hold onto 1985 and 1986 as two of my favourite years for music.
But, I'm here to share something about the nineties! Specifically Australian music of the nineties. I burned some CDs a fair few years back for an Australia Day BBQ we had with friends which featured all Australian tunes...from the nineties. There you go, there's the link. I think it's a pretty great list of the popular, the slightly obscure and the deep cut. Pretty sure the odd NZ track snuck in too!
I now have the songs on my iPod as a playlist. They're in a fairly loose chronological order (because, it's me) and I think you get a could idea of how music in Australia shifted through the decade. Anyhoo, have a scroll below. Remember, this list was once four burnt CDs:
