^ I love Portishead too. If you haven't heard them yet, check out Zero 7. First album, Simple Things, from 2001.

I wouldn't consider either one of these songs to sound dated. To me they are both timeless, and very good.

Good call on the Mazzy Star. Don't be embarrassed by the Moby call. Play is pretty good, but Everything is Wrong is a seminal techno album. Feeling so Real is just a great song.

Simple Things is good, but I prefer When it Falls. Also, back to the original topic how about Six Underground by the Sneaker Pimps.

Good point. I guess my listings were more of a great songs from the 90's. The Cardigans Loverfool, Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity, and Radiohead's Creep are all awesome songs, but definitely sound dated.

Song and video are awesome! Maybe one of my top ten fav videos of all time.

Mazzy Star.

Dummy could not sound more 1995-96 short of including Re-elect Clinton ads between tracks.
