At Top of the Pops in 1994, Oasis deliver Shakermaker, the follow up single to Supersonic from their debut album Definitely Maybe. The track reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and helped establish the band’s early swagger, built around Liam Gallagher’s laid back vocal and Noel Gallagher’s melodic nods to 60s pop. Known for its loose groove and tongue in cheek references, it became a key part of their first era and later appeared in documentaries and retrospectives charting Oasis’s rise through the mid 90s Britpop scene. Shakermaker remains a fan favourite and an essential piece of their early catalogue.

“Maria” is from Blondie’s 1999 comeback album No Exit, their first studio release in 17 years. Built around a soaring melody and Debbie Harry’s commanding vocal, the song tells of fascination with an irresistible, elusive woman and marked the band’s triumphant return to the charts. It became a major European hit, reaching #1 in the UK and proved that Blondie could still deliver the kind of stylish pop that had made them one of the defining bands of the new-wave era.

A bassline inspired by funk and a beat influenced by hip-hop helped push The Stone Roses far beyond conventional indie rock. “Fools Gold” grew from Mani and Reni’s rhythm section, while John Squire’s guitar took inspiration from the wah-wah textures of 1970s funk. Released in November 1989 as a double A-side with “What the World Is Waiting For”, it reached No. 8 in the UK and was not included on the original UK edition of the band’s self-titled debut album. This lip-synced appearance on Dutch television’s Countdown captures The Stone Roses at the end of their breakthrough year, as “Fools Gold” became a defining collision of indie and dance culture.
