Best Songs of all time from the 90s.

[Audition101]

I've been having a recent obsession with 90s alternative again. Anyone else?

5. Pearl Jam- Alive
4. Smashing Pumpkins- Tonight, Tonight
3. Radiohead- Karma Police
2. Gin Blossoms- Follow You Down
1. Foo Fighters- Everlong

[RamInGoreville]

Semi Charmed Life FTW

[absolutecrunk]

Weren't you like 4 when that song came out?

[RamInGoreville]

Weren't you like 4 when that song came out?

I think like 5ish? Not entirely sure.

But yes, I definitely recall it being on the radio ever since I can remember, which can't really be any time passed 5.

[Regards]

They were running down the top 100 songs of the 90's on Vh1 or something and they stopped on Tennessee from Arrested Development. Man I loved that group.

[live.]

Third Eye Blind's self-titled debut was the first album I ever purchased. Semi-Charmed is definitely up there. Don't forget The Wallflowers, Soundgarden, Weezer.

[IWasaCamera]

Laughing Stock. All of it.

[SamEyes]

"Best Songs of all time from the 90s."

That sentence is ridiculous.

[Troggy]

MMMbop

Haha sorry, just had to.

It's a great song and everybody knows it.

That song makes me want to punch babies,

And I'm a nice, non-violent person who loves babies.

(Not in that way before I get attacked).

[Troggy]

I would have said that when I was 17, too. I am now much wiser.

I actually cannot stand that song haha. It digs at me like hell.

[Troggy]

I actually cannot stand that song haha. It digs at me like hell.

Actually I like Hanson's "Where's the Love" better, but that song wasn't the huge hit that MMMbop was. And MMMbop is plenty awesome, anyhow.

[Brokenhill]

Archers of Loaf - White Trash Hereoes

The Smashing Pumpkins:

Maonaise
1979
Farewell and Goodnight

[Fuckmaxbemis]

5. Luna- Slash Your Tires
4. Jawbox- Savory
3. Pavement- Spit on a Stranger
2. Sunny Day Real Estate- Song About an Angel
1. Cap'n Jazz- Lil' League

There's nothing I wouldn't do for a time travel device to take me back to that time period.

Haha, I know. Bands jsut aren't like what they were back then.

[SanePsychotic]

"Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms is an awesome song. New Miserable Experience in general is just a great album. I love it with a passion.

[Indoor Living]

Hell Yeah! And One Headlight. I love The Wallflowers

[Getup and Dance]

New Radicals - Get What You Give.

[Circa1628]

Third Eye Blinds S/T album
Goo Goo Dolls A Boy Named Goo and Dizzy Up The Girl
Saves the Day Through Being Cool
Matchbox Twenty Yourself Or Someone Like You

every song on those

[Kbm600]

I would have to say that Motorcycle Drive By is a much better song, that or Jumper by TEB.

[Circa1628]

YES. I love 3EB fans, it's so hard to find people that know more than their singles. "The Background" and "God Of Wine" are up there on this album as well.

Woot! Is it just me or does the beginning of Drive by sound very similar to "Hey there Delilah"?

Just me?

[kearn1tm]

When I think of my favorite single track of the '90s, I immediately hear Death to Everyone by Bonnie "Prince" Billy. For many reasons, I find that song is perfectly indicative of the milieu of that entire decade.

[Geldofpunk]

All songs from Jeff Buckley's Grace. Sunny Day Real Estate. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

[circasuicide]

a tie for me: "slow motion" - third eye blind / "everything you want" - vertical horizon

[versus_god]

"Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms is an awesome song. New Miserable Experience in general is just a great album. I love it with a passion.
The Ergs! did the most bitchin' cover of that song.

[phil19]

this song pisses all over mmmbop if you ask me. i never understood why mmmbop did better, i never really liked that song all that much. but wheres the love! now thats a song!

[SanePsychotic]

The Ergs! did the most bitchin' cover of that song.

Really? I want to hear this! The only cover of the song I have heard is off of Punk Goes 90s, which was abhorrent. I bet The Ergs! cover is 100000 times better.

[Geldofpunk]

Ugh. It's getting harder and harder to detect sarcasm. Must come with age.

(referring to the Hanson comments)

We had a fundraiser at my school two years ago called "stop the bop" where they played that song over the intercom over and over until the students donated enough money. Someone ripped a speaker off the wall and all of the mentally handicapped kids went crazy.

We had something like that at our school as well, but it was a High School Musical song. When you gave money you could either vote to stop it or keep it. This went on for two weeks during all of our passing periods, lunches, and a half hour before and after school. Whoever thought of that donation campaign needs to be kicked in the shin.

i believe an aussie band called kisschasey also did a cover of this song

[FeynmanWannabe]

Since most people seem to be going with well known singles, I'm throwing this out there:

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

[abusedcat]

Dammit or Semi-Charmed Life.
or maybe Stand by REM, but that might've been like, late 80s.
Maybe Cut Your Hair by Pavement?

[FeynmanWannabe]

Dammit or Semi-Charmed Life.
or maybe Stand by REM, but that might've been like, late 80s.
Stand was on Green, which was released in '88.

[kearn1tm]

The entire album really. So, so good.

I See a Darkness is definitely among the five best releases of the decade to be sure.

I really enjoy Hanson. That's the truth.

When I was @ Reading festival this year after one of the Main stage bands finished there was a massive queue for the loo's I'm talking 50 or so people & someone started singing the chorus to mmmbop - then next thing you know 50 odd people were all singing along it was epic (until it got to the verse then everyone mumbled until the chorus again)

[Troggy]

I See a Darkness is definitely among the five best releases of the decade to be sure.

I go with the cliche choice - OK Computer, but I See a Darkness would be number two on my list with Laughing Stock being somewhere in my top ten. Regardless each of these albums are absolutely incredible in their respective fashion.

I'll admit, I just discovered Oldham's library about a year ago. Get back with me in three or four years or so and my opinion of I See a Darkness may be considerably higher.

Oldham writes growers like none other so it may very well be the case.

[SamEyes]

No Spice Girls yet?

Or did they not hit America?

What about Wannadies - You and Me Song,

That HAS to be up there.
