VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s

You should wear the nut-hugging softball shorts.

 

I will not sit next to you.

 

Well, there went my thought of wearing a Walter Payton jersey.

I can't be encouraging Zubaz, especially Chicago-area Zubaz.

 

Story of my life.

 

Mine too, Pall.

 

Get a room, you two lonely lovebirds.

 

Um ... no thanks. The only one unoccupied did, however, advertise itself as "The Best Eight Seconds of Your Life."

Nice to see you found a hobby. ;D ;D

 

The Boys II Men song you're thinking of is "End of the Road," some of the best four-part harmony that will ever be performed.

That's on my Ipod. So is...

1. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
10. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
12. Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
22. Beck - Loser
25. Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
27. Counting Crows - Mr. Jones
34. Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
54. Joan Osborne - One of Us
58. Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover
61. Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do
62. Live - I Alone
73. Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy
76. Blues Traveler - Run-Around
79. Meredith Brooks - Bitch
86 The Cranberries - Linger
88. Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing
90. New Radicals - You Get What You Give

A lot better Sarah McLachlan songs from that era than what was chosen. Ditto Live, although I do like "I Alone." How the hell can "Lakini's Juice" not be on there?

EDIT: I'm amazed nobody else took note of this yet ... but those are 100 different artists. Nobody is on twice.

I understand their intention, I think, but that just invalidates the whole list.

 

"Wonderwall" is WAY too low down the list.

 

It probably was one of their best, but what I meant was that SOME Boyz II Men song should have been on there.

 

Just a song that popped into my head (because I heard it on the radio today)...

But where the fuck is "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms? That still remains one of my favorite songs (of which I have many), 15 years after it came out.

 

What would my top 10 be ... let's see ...

1. U2 -- One
2. Nirvana -- Smells Like Teen Spirit
3. Beastie Boys -- Sabotage
4. Weezer -- Buddy Holly
5. Dr. Dre (featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg) -- Nuthin' but a "G" Thang
6. Everything But The Girl -- Missing
7. Smashing Pumpkins -- 1979
8. Beck -- Loser
9. House of Pain -- Jump Around
10. Faith No More -- Epic
