80s, 90s and some 2000s alternative rock with a little Canadiana flare. One of my most popular playlists.
A throwback list for someone wanting to relive the 80s, 90s and maybe some 2000s: great tunes that are typically well received at a party. A little Canadiana flare, but mostly just good alternative rock songs I grew up with. One of my most popular playlists.
It’s 100 songs long and opens with Go West’s “The King of Wishful Thinking,” then cruises through Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Cruisin’,” Weezer’s “Jamie,” Melissa Etheridge’s “Come To My Window,” Fastball’s “The Way,” The Flys’ “Got You (Where I Want You),” Dave Matthews Band’s “Crash into Me” and The Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979.” Live, Staind and Oasis each appear three times, with Collective Soul, Queen, Stone Temple Pilots and The Goo Goo Dolls close behind. It’s the soundtrack of a late-night drive home with the dashboard glowing and every song a memory. Perfect for parties, long highway nights or reliving those years when you knew every word on the radio.
