Written about a relationship where common sense loses every argument, "Self Esteem" became the song that transformed The Offspring from underground favourites into international stars. Performing it at Glastonbury in 1995, the band brought one of punk rock's most recognisable anthems to a festival audience still discovering them.

Few dance records captured the feel good spirit of the mid 1990s quite like “Don’t Stop Movin’.” Released in 1996, the track paired a driving house groove with Tameko Star’s powerful vocal, becoming one of Livin’ Joy’s biggest hits and a staple of clubs, radio and television throughout the decade.

Confidence and attitude were never in short supply when it came to Echobelly. Released in 1994, “I Can’t Imagine the World Without Me” paired Sonya Madan’s sharp lyrics with the band's infectious guitar driven sound, helping establish them as one of the standout acts of the Britpop era.

Style, glamour and sharp pop songwriting helped make Duran Duran one of the defining bands of the 1980s. Released in 1981 on their self titled debut album, “Girls on Film” combined a driving rhythm with an unforgettable chorus, helping launch the band’s rise to international fame.

Recovery and renewal sat at the heart of “Scar Tissue” when Red Hot Chili Peppers returned with Californication in 1999. Written during a period of major change for the band, the song's reflective mood and John Frusciante’s distinctive guitar work helped launch one of the most successful comebacks in rock history.

Some songs end up defining a band's entire career. Released on The Colour and the Shape in 1997, “Everlong” combined Dave Grohl’s melodic songwriting with raw emotion, becoming the track most closely associated with Foo Fighters and one of the most enduring rock songs of its era.

Ball of the Century

#OnThisDay in 1993, Shane Warne bowled his first ball in England and that turned out to be the Ball of the Century.

It drifted lazily onto leg stump, then spat back a yard or two and clipped the top of off.

The famous picture of Ian Healy aahing and Gatting oohing tells the story perfectly.
