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!
