The 90s on Double J all June

+ You Am I’s ‘Berlin Chair’ tops 50 Best Australian Songs of the 90s

Pump up your sneakers, put on your flanno and dial up The 90s on Double J, as we take a look at an iconic decade and ask, was this the greatest decade in music? Throughout June we’ll bring you 90s music from Thursday to Sunday nights, curated 90s countdowns, special online features, dedicated 90s J Files, Classic Albums and Live At The Wireless’, and a very special 90s themed Artist in Residence by Spiderbait frontman, KRAM.

To kick off our month-long celebration of the ’90s we looked to our own shores, giving a nod to all the incredible Australian music from that decade. It won’t surprise you to hear that coming up with this list was tough. And while you won’t necessarily agree with all our choices, we believe every song played a massive part in making Australian music such a force through the 1990s. So here are the 50 Best Australian Songs of the 90s, topped by none other than You Am I’s ‘Berlin Chair’.

You can listen to the 50 Best Australian Songs of the 90s, along with the 50 Most Overlooked Songs of the 90s, 50 Most Important Female Artists of the 90s and 50 Best Live Acts of the 90s as Caz Tran and Chit Chat from Machine Gun Fellatio countdown the best music of a seminal decade at 1pm every Saturday in June. You can watch the accompanying 90s specials on rage too, Saturdays in June on ABC TV.

To kick off a month of great 90s content, join us on the J Files tonight, as Richard Kingsmill looks at the rapid explosion (and implosion) of Grunge.
