It started when a song came on the radio that instantly took us back to a nightclub on Sauchiehall Street. The memory of when the place belonged to your crowd and carefree weekends had a set soundtrack.
We started a wider conversation with readers on the songs that remind them of Glasgow nightclubs from the past and we had over 700 responses, which led to this 20 song playlist of local nightlife from the past.
5. QMU: Pixies - Debaser
Part of the soundtrack for so many student nights, this track from 1989 brings back memories of swaying around the dancefloor at Glasgow’ Uni’s QMU.
6. Bennetts: Alena - Turn it Around
While the Glasgow gay club had many eras of music, starting in the eighties, this track by Dutch DJ and producer Carlo Resoort, featuring singer Alena Lova was suggested to remember nights in 1999. Photo: Colin Barr
7. The Garage: Tiffany - I Think We’re Alone Now

Suggestions for the list include Like a Prayer by Madonna, Tragedy by Steps, She Bangs the Drums by The Stone Roses - every Thursday for the late 90s - and Last Night by The Strokes. It’s an eclectic soundtrack. Photo: John Devlin
8. The Tunnel: David Morales presents The Face - Needin’ U
Other sounds of Glasgow’s first superclub: “Strike - U Sure Do”, “Bobby Brown, Two Can Play That Game in Room 2”, “Run DMC - It’s LIke That”, “Wild Child - Renegade Master for Friday at the Tunnel”
