Just to add, this pilot is not affiliated with or endorsed by Absolute Radio in any way. It was just a personal project. I’m also aware there is already a very fine #forgotten90s show but this is quite different in terms of its content and presentation.
Missing #forgotten80s? You might enjoy this, which I recorded in 2023.
It’s a full pilot episode of #forgotten90s – put together as an imagined successor to Rudd’s show and similar in style and format.
Have a listen and lemme know what you think…

Discovered this thanks to being sampled on a Sex-o-Sonique track Mary Anne Hobbs kept playing…

I quite like that Donny Osmond one. But I really loved his similarly produced My Love Is A Fire in the early 90s. Didn’t make the top 40, sadly. #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
“Informer, ya' no say daddy me Snow me I go blame. A licky boom boom down.”
A little bit of Snow

First cassette single I ever bought was the Sunny-Side-Up Mix of Always The Sun in 1990 (which also charted) #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
I'm not sure I knew If I Ruled The World was originally an 80s hit. The version I know and love is by Nas (featuring Lauryn Hill) from 1996 #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
If you wanted proof that there’s no god: that version of What I Am peaked at no 31 in 1989 but Emma Bunton’s poor remake made no 2 ten years later #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
Miss America by The Big Dish is a favourite of mine. Just clipped the top 40 in 1991 #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
On a magazine I once worked on, we had a long discussion about the correct punctuation for this song title. I think we went with no punctuation at all (No More I Love Yous) in the end. How it’s written here is definitely not correct. #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
Suggs planning his Jon Secada listening for the coming week:
"Tomorrow’s Just Another Day."
Sorry.

Go West sound American from this song #forgotten90s
This Adam & The Ants song reminds me of Witch Doctor. Oo ee, ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang! #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
In true Easter fashion, Jesus Jones flopped in the 80s only to be resurrected in the 90s #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
Sleep Talk was sampled in this 1995 top 40 hit, in case you're interested #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
I must admit, when KWS took Please Don’t Go to no 1 in 1992, I had no idea it was a cover – hence it’s the definitive version for me #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
I do like the Kenny Thomas version of this, which I thought was the only one until a few years ago #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
Was listening to #forgotten90s on Absolute Radio 90s earlier, which played Punka by Kenickie and Army by Ben Folds Five as examples of forgotten 90s tunes, and now I'm worried that I might be being gaslit
I was just listening to an old top 40 from this week in 1991. I heard Mantronix Don’t Go Messing With My Heart for the first time since it was out – and now here he is again #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
No, I think you’ll find Cleopatra’s comin’ at ya. Try again. #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
That was Scooter's 1997 classic 'Break It Up'.
A true classic indeed.

Their first one without Vince C and the first one to be written and (mainly) sung by Martin Gore. Who then knew where such sweetness would lead? #forgotten90s
*It actually peaked at no 33 *slaps own wrist* #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
Glass Tiger liked their featured artists. This one with Bryan Adams is good, but I first heard of them when they took the mighty fine My Town (with Rod Stewart) into the top 30 in 1991 #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
I loved Undercover in the 90s. Sorry not sorry. #forgotten80s #forgotten90s
