SingStar, the Karoke game for the PlayStation 2 is about to unleash the 90's upon lounge rooms all over the world, we have the song list, and it is a varied bag indeed.

For me the 90's was all about grunge music, you know, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees and so on.  It was a fine time.

Sony however have taken a different tack on the decade, with the latest addition to the SingStar franchise.

For them, the song list is decidedly devoid of hair and flannelette shirts, with the closest nod to the era being Nick Cave or Radiohead's "Creep".

Still obviously these chosen tracks were popular during the period, just don't ask me to get up and sing them when SingStar 90's is released this August.

The track list includes the following 30 songs;
ALL SAINTS - Never Ever
