Drift Away

If not for the drum and Spandau Ballet samples, PM Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" might just be the greatest song to come out of the 90s. I can't give that title to a song that is completely sampled (and I would probably put my money on Smells Like Teen Spirit for best song of the 90s). But as far as this PM Dawn ditty goes, lyrically nothing beats it.

I love the line: "She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign ... I told her a whisper in my heart was fine."

So here's a look back:
