Having recently watched his Netflix docuseries, I feel like for someone as HUGE as he was, he's almost NEVER talked about in pop culture nowadays. I've always found him to be a fascinating personality, though I know he's not super liked by everyone (particularly if you're British. When you're as HUGE as he, Dido, and Coldplay were in the 2000s, you're bound to have as the press hound on you as much as you can sell records). What are your favourite songs of his?

 

Some examples:

 

 

Rock DJ for sure. Used to love Let Me Entertain You when I was younger too.

 

Meanwhile Angels is ear bleed and I've never understood why middle aged mums went mad for it

He really does have bops

My favs are Feel, Rock DJ and Trippin 

random pop up what i like...

1. old b4 i die
2. radio
3. road to mandaley
4. come undone
5. advertising space

Feel is a genuinely beautiful song

Feel is the one i go back to most often 

Feel

Supreme

Sexed Up

Road to Mandalay

Somethin' Beautiful

Go Gentle

 

My absolute favorite song is Eternity, tho.

this underrated masterpiece 

 

 

Also:

Supreme, She's Madonna, Bodies and Millenium

Oh, he's such a nostalgia for me growing up in the 2000's. My first main pop boy and one of my first crushes. 

My favourites from him are:

• Millenium - Amazing song, so of it's time and the chorus is pop heaven. 

• Radio - One of the first songs I bought on CD as a kid. Felt really gritty and edgy at the time.

• Kids f/ Kylie Minogue - One of the best collabs ever, massive chorus. Classic.

• Rock DJ - She's a timeless hit ma'am. Plus, the video is iconic. 

• She's the One - Wonderwall Angels wishes she was this good of a ballad.

• Pretty Woman - Should've been one of the biggest hits of 2017. Written by Ed Sheeran, produced by Benny Blanco. I loved hearing him on this kind of song.

• Tripping - I also had this on CD. 9 year old me was bopping.

Angel was huge here in Latin America

I feel like off the top of my head I can only name Rock DJ but whew that was a classic

Ooh, 'Millennium' is so good!

The double chorus at the end ("And when we come we always come too late") is pop perfection
