I am going with pure nostalgia now, not songs that I would categorize as top 10 favorites but they have something within them that takes me back instantly and some I might not have heard in years or those that I have heard almost daily, no matter what when the nostalgic feel-good factor creeps in, it can become a very powerful time-machine and create all kind of chills and goosebumps, and I am glad I still have kept most of my old cassette tapes and cds from those days.
Anyway, I will start up with an all time nostalgia favorite, that sounds like winter of 1998:
Scooter - No Fate (1998)
Lyrics:
Going back into time
Blind through the night
Remember, when it just took all over
Taking me higher
Thoughts in my mind
On the roof, up lifting, and drifting away
From city to city
From dawn to dawn
And the whole generation
Is on the run
Good bye to the past, hello to the future
As the struggle continues
Theres no fate
Someone's gonna ask you
About the truth, and the meaning
Expecting another answer
To be sure he's on the right side
And you're on the wrong
Do not listen, its your decision
From face to face, from soul to soul
And the whole genereration
Is out of control
Good bye to the past, hello to the future
As the struggle continues
Theres no fate
I was huge fan of the german dance/techno act Scooter during 1998-2001 and sure, they had lots of big hits, but the one song of their's which have the best "staying" power and brings up most memories is the hauntingly beautiful No Fate.
A cover of Zyon's 1992 classic rap/hip-hop meets trance, but for me it sounded like Scooter's version seemed to be based more heavily upon the 1993 remix of Sven Väth - No Fate (Struggles Continues) where as Scooter included some rather "heavy" lyrics for a change, and a video which also seemed to be less "party" and more serious or at least in certain parts, however it would sadly mark the end of the classic lineup with Ferris Bueller (Sören Bühler) but they went out with a fantastic cover version, and one that I think is among their best singles, sadly it never seemed to become as popular as many of their others hits.
