Fly on the wall sports documentaries have surged in popularity in recent years and thanks to streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, there are more to choose from than ever before.
While the majority of these docuseries are based on recent seasons, the latest addition from Netflix and ESPN is a little different.
The Last Dance, rather than focusing on a modern basketball season, takes viewers back to the halcyon days of the 1990s when Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls reigned supreme.
Naturally, with a series based in the 90s, fans have been greeted by a soundtrack of classic tracks from the decade that brought us the World Wide Web, Bill Clinton as US President and the end of the Soviet Union.
But just what songs feature throughout the series?
