Van Morrison - Days Like This

Technically this is '95 and thus out of your range, but I think Van the Man himself should get a pass. Incidentally I just started rewatching Boston Legal a week ago, whic his precisely where I first heard this song almost 20 years ago. Haven't seen it in my rewatch yet though.

Grover Washington Jr - Just The Two Of Us

I'm really glad I can listen to this again without getting miserable about my last ex again... well, at least for a few brief moments. Such a beautiful song, it's a shame really I associate it with such a repulsive hoe

Happy Mondays sort of picked up the torch from the Rolling Stones in terms of crazy behaviour. Rock bands feel a lot tamer these days.

Was this filmed in The Winchester Tavern? It is giving me Shaun of the Dead vibes. Regardless, I really like this acapella version. Perfect for reminiscing.
That could have been any pub anywhere in England in the early 90's :messenger_tears_of_joy:

They all had that drab looking interior.

I miss em though. Below a pound a pint and you could smoke!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I'm disappointed in you, GAF
