A little something that was released in 1997....that, two years later, featured in a key scene in The Matrix.

Original video located here. Accessed 12th September 2017
Song title: Do You Feel Loved?
Artist: U2
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
Pop may not have been U2's best album but I always thought this song was a diamond in the rough.
Indeed, a rather unexpected slice of nastiness from U2 but that's what makes it so compelling

Nineties Revisited: Casual Affair
Original video located here. Accessed 5th September 2017
Song title: Casual Affair
Artist: Tonic
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
A rockin' song that still sounds great twenty years on. Indeed, I will always associate those killer guitar riffs with heading down the hallways of high school as a Grade 10.
I could be a curmudgeon and say they don't make 'em like they used to but you know what? They don't.
