“I Feel You” is the lead single from Depeche Mode’s 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion. Written by Martin Gore, the song marked a dramatic departure from the band's synth-pop roots, embracing a darker blend of alternative rock, blues, gospel and electronic music. It became an international hit, reaching #8 on the UK Singles Chart, the Top 10 in several European countries and #3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US, while helping propel the album to debut at #1 in both the UK and the US.

Embracing the early '90s rock climate, the band incorporated live drums, played by Alan Wilder, and a heavy guitar riff by Martin Gore, marking their boldest sonic shift. The black-and-white music video, directed by Anton Corbijn, blended religious iconography with surreal eroticism, perfectly mirroring the album's themes. The subsequent Devotional Tour proved bittersweet, marking the final chapter for Alan Wilder as a member of the band while coinciding with Dave Gahan's well-documented struggles with addiction.

After New Order went on hiatus, bassist Peter Hook formed Monaco with David Potts and found himself back near the top of the charts with "What Do You Want from Me?". Built around Hook's unmistakable melodic bass sound, the single reached the UK Top 20 and became the duo's biggest hit. This TFI Friday performance from February 1997 captures Hook beginning a new chapter while carrying a distinctive piece of New Order's musical DNA with him.

Opening Suede's self-titled debut album, "So Young" captured the reckless romance and youthful desperation that defined the band's early sound. Brett Anderson's dramatic vocals and Bernard Butler's soaring guitar helped make the record one of the most important British debuts of the 1990s. This performance in Germany in 1997 finds Suede revisiting one of their earliest songs after a new lineup had taken the band into its next chapter.

Mark Knopfler got the idea for "Sultans of Swing" after watching a struggling jazz band performing to an almost empty pub in London. The grand name they announced themselves with contrasted so sharply with the surroundings that it became the inspiration for the song. Knopfler turned that encounter into Dire Straits' breakthrough hit, with his distinctive fingerpicked guitar playing creating one of rock's most recognisable sounds. This 1979 performance captures the band as their reputation was spreading around the world.

“Heroes” is from David Bowie’s 1977 album "Heroes", the second installment of his acclaimed Berlin Trilogy. Although it reached only #24 on the UK Singles Chart upon its original release, the song gradually became one of Bowie's signature works and later peaked at #12 in the UK following his death in 2016. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded.

Inspired by a pair of lovers near the Berlin Wall (later revealed to have been producer Tony Visconti and backing vocalist Antonia Maass) Bowie transformed a private moment into a timeless anthem of hope and defiance. Visconti also devised an innovative recording technique using three microphones positioned at increasing distances from Bowie, each activated as his voice grew louder, creating the song's dramatic emotional crescendo.

Before Britpop had even been given a name, Suede arrived at the 1993 BRIT Awards and offered a glimpse of where British guitar music was heading. "Animal Nitrate" combined Brett Anderson's provocative lyrics with Bernard Butler's dramatic guitar work, creating something far removed from the grunge dominating the period. This performance helped cement Suede's reputation as one of Britain's most exciting new bands.

Dave Grohl wrote “Everlong” while falling in love with Louise Post of Veruca Salt, shortly after the collapse of his first marriage. The drum track was actually recorded by Grohl himself after original drummer William Goldsmith quit the band out of frustration with the producer.

The song reached #3 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, but its legacy transcends rock radio. It famously became TV host David Letterman's all-time favorite song, and he had the band perform it upon his return from heart surgery in 2000 and again to close his final late-night broadcast in 2015. The song's dreamlike music video, directed by Michel Gondry, won the Best Group Video award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

“Fade to Grey” is the debut single by Visage, released in 1980. Written by Billy Currie, Chris Payne, and Midge Ure, with lyrics by Steve Strange, the synth-pop classic became one of the defining songs of the New Romantic movement. It reached #8 on the UK Singles Chart, #1 in Germany and Switzerland, #2 in Belgium, and the Top 10 across much of Europe.

The song's distinctive bilingual vocals (English by Steve Strange and French by Brigitte Arens) helped give it its mysterious, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Although it was Visage's only major international hit, "Fade to Grey" became hugely influential on synth-pop and electronic music, inspiring countless artists and remaining one of the most iconic tracks of the early 1980s.

Mick Jagger wrote most of the lyrics to "Sympathy for the Devil," drawing heavy inspiration from The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, a novel widely believed to have been introduced to him by his then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull.

The song's famous "woo-woo" backing vocals were born when Anita Pallenberg spontaneously joined in during the recording session, with Marianne Faithfull and others in the studio soon adding their voices. Originally conceived as a slow folk song, it evolved into a samba-inspired rock masterpiece through the contributions of Charlie Watts and Keith Richards, who also played bass on the recording.

The entire creative process was famously captured by director Jean-Luc Godard in the documentary One Plus One. Although never released as a single in 1968, the song helped Beggars Banquet reach the Top 5 in the UK and on the US Billboard 200, before enjoying a major chart resurgence in 2024 after its prominent use in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Long before "Common People" made them household names, "Babies" showcased Jarvis Cocker's gift for turning awkward moments and everyday life into unforgettable songs. Featured on the album His 'n' Hers, the track became an early fan favourite and helped lay the foundations for Pulp's breakthrough during the Britpop era. This performance at the Loreley Festival in 1996 captures the band as they enjoyed their rise to international recognition.
