It wasn't even cool at the time, but the song that made me start caring about music was Joyride by Roxette.

Yesssss! So happy to see this listed here. Refreshments is such an underrated band. And Roger Clyde’s solo work is also really good.
donttrustthesoup@reddit
I worked in radio for 20 years and this song was never programmed, but on a short list of always good fill songs (blur song 2 was another). It was a song of relief because it meant my shift was over.

Okay I’m not ashamed to go 90s here:
U Sure Do by Strike. Everday May, when it’s hot enough to throw the doors and windows open doing housework, that song beats back the last traces of winter for me. Quickly followed by Shine by Aswad, Corona Rhythm of the Night, and Black Box, Dirty Cash by TASV, and Ride on Time by Black Box.

TheREALBaldRider@reddit
I usually just play AmazonMusic’s 90’s Alternative station.
SpeedyDragonzcales@reddit (OP)
It’s just interesting to hear what people would add to the playlist and listen if there’s something that isn’t familiar to me. Maybe I’ll actually make this playlist, who knows:)
