THE 100 GREATEST SONGS

MCMXCIV

1994 saw the election of Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa. Thousands died in the Rwandan Massacre. There was a ceasefire in Northern Ireland. Conflict also raged in Sarajevo and Chechnya. O.J. Simpson was arrested. Pete Sampras won Wimbledon. Brazil won the World Cup. The Winter Olympics were held in Lillehammer, Norway.

 ‘Schindler’s List’ won the Oscar. Other hit films included ‘Quiz Show’, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Forrest Gump’. TV series “Friends” and “ER” debuted. The Channel Tunnel opened between France and England.

 

This retrospective on the music of 1994 highlights the best of the music released during that year; a period that saw the world shocked by the death of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and the celebration of Woodstock ’94.
