The year I saw "The Lion King" at the cinema, I was 9 years old, what a time to be alive, a year i remember (rose tintedly) as sunny

I think this was probably when I was really 'getting into' music, in the sense of buying cassettes and making my first tentative moves towards discovering a taste outside of the top 40—but it was still mostly the top 40, of course. No internet back then you whippersnappers and no money as a nine year old.
I think I had 'Smash Hits 94' on tape and through that discovered the Prodigy ('No Good'). I remember my cousin being into Green Day's 'Dookie' and also having the poster for 'Definitely Maybe' up in her room.
Someone made a playlist of Smash Hits 94, this seems familiar — and i probably first heard Oasis on this too, 'Cigarettes and Alcohol'
In retrospect (Cos i wasn't aware at the time) it was a golden year for hip-hop, of course — and although I was aware of 'incredible' and 'let me be your fantasy' and 'original nuttah', for example, I wasn't aware it was a great year for jungle, too.
A huge year for eurodance singles, it seems. And RNB was in a good state. Britpop's coming out party, what with 'Definitely Maybe' and 'Parklife'.
What else?
Here's my playlist I was throwing together yesterday, from the sublime to the ridiculous
July 1994
July 1994 was a pretty decent summer month. A CET of 18.0C and it was on the dry side for much of England and Wales. There was also some decent Spanish plumes which brought thunderstorms in places. The 12th July 1994 was a very hot day in the east with 34C at Lakenheath. Forecasts from that month...
