Not really my era but I started buying new music again after a long gap. Partly because I bought a walkman and partly because there seemed to be some good, new music around.
What's the Story (Morning Glory) - Oasis
Different Class - Pulp
Leftism - Leftfield
Stanley Road - Paul Weller

I should coco - Supergrass
As an aside, without really being a music person, this was arguably my most favourite year of music. Looking back, i think what i liked was there was such a range of music that nothing really dominated in the popular sense, and as someone who generally likes all styles of music, that suited me perfectly.
Britpop stuff was fantastic and really starting to rise by now (Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Siupergrass, Elastica all had big releases) but so was the dance stuff that's now termed as Old Skool, some great tracks in 95 from Bucketheads, Nightcrawlers, N-Trance, Coolio etc
Mixed in with that your soft rock stuff like Bon Jovi, Guns and Roses, rising up to Green Day,
novelty stuff like Whigfield, Outhere Brothers (WIGGLE WIGGLE!!), Scatman Jon, l
ikeable boyband sh1te (Take That, Boyzone, East 17, Wet Wet Wet etc))
and traditional pop (Madonna, Maria Carey, Whitney, Prince)
and slightly different but popular stuff like Seal (Kiss from a rose), The Rembrandts (Friends themetune), Nick Cave / Kylie (Where the wild roses grow), Simply Red (Fairground), Deep Blue Something (Breakfast at Tiffany's), Edwin Collins (Girl Like You)
Find it very hard to find a song from that year that hit the charts that i don't really like (know its an age thing and everyone has their year when they are at that age, but still think it was a special time).
