[@CherryFrog321]

1997 is the first year of my life that I can remember well (I was mostly 5, and turned 6 late in the year). I remember having a blast playing outside all the time with my brother and my friends, going to Pre-K/kindergarten, watching Disney movies and Nickelodeon shows like Doug and Rugrats, and going over to my best friend's house and playing dress up or Barbies, and visiting my grandparents. I definitely remember some of these songs being on the radio at that time, and it takes me back. I miss being a kid!

[@raisa_cherry35]

I was in my pre-teen 😮😮

[@ivjimene]

I was 14 turning 15 in 1997, No doubt, BSB, Spice Girls, NSYNC, Savage garden, Robyn, Will Smith and the eurodance hits were the "must have" of any teenager in that era.

[@zxxczczczcz]

yes

[@TheAmarok87]

Eurodance was pretty much dead after 1994/95. The 2nd half of the 90s were more house/trance/disco oriented.

I thought I had commented on this vid. I was 9 in 97. But get this. Whilst listening to Sunny Came Home and Every Day Is a Winding Road which you didin't add to the list my mind emagined the hi school girl Erin C O'dell I met in 2002. Seriously. My mind was blown when I put 2 and 2 together later. Oh man Erin was everything I'd emagined to those tunes. I wish my mind had put it all together at the moment though. Darn.

[@sharontonks3192]

Another great video. I had just had my first baby in 1997 so some of these songs passed me by. Some great tunes though. Some good tunes in the 90s but the 80s will always be my favourite decade.

[@shanznori]

These were the best times...i was 13 in 1997...i was in chicago.. these songs played so much on the radio...so many memories!! I remember i had also started reading goosebumps and fear street during those times and these songs used to play in the background on my music system!!!! I wish i could go back time!!!

I used to listen couple years ago only the songs from 1997 because my former best friend was born in 1997, while I was born in 1998... I loved him so much like a brother, that's why for some time I used to listen only the songs from 1997. Even though we are not friends anymore, these songs will always remind me of him.

Oh i really remember Lovefool by The Cardigans first of all because it's a really beautiful song. And because it was the very first song that i heard with The Cardigans and Nina Persson in 1997 when i was 4 years old. Because Nina's voice is so unique and cute that i falled completely in love with her wonderful and unique voice in 1997, and today The Cardigans is my absolute favorite rock band of all times, and Nina Persson is my absolute favorite singer songwriter of all times, because she is really really talented and amazing, and i really really love her voice and her music. 😍😍😍
