Big Shiny Tunes


Take a trip down memory lane and feel old with me. Big Shiny Tunes. Not Big Shiny Tunes 1, it's just big shiny tunes, because it was the first. it was released in 1996 by Much Music television, featuring the top songs, all in one compilation.

So, some might say that since Big Shiny Tunes 2 was the biggest selling album of the series (and it is fantastic) I have to give a shout out the original.

Remember the line-up: I Mother Earth, Bush X (note: not Bush!), Sloan (props to Halifax-born musicians), Better than Ezra, Moist and for those who want to let their inner-emo escape, while still paying homage to the 80's and Annie Lennox, enjoyed Sweet Dreams with Marilyn Manson.

They are now on the 14th Big Shiny tunes, and special 80s and 90s versions have also been created.

So if you need some throw backs to the 90s, or want to revisit days gone by; check out the song lists for all of the Big Shiny Tunes, particular attention paid to the original and number 2.

I'm just a girl, living in captivity.....
