70s Top Songs

80s Top Songs

What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?

10. Boyz II Men by End of the Road
I copied this answer from someone else because it's so true.
9. One More Chance (remix) by Notorious B.I.G.
Definitive 90's for me.
8. Fantasy by Mariah Carey
and especially the remix! Because Mariah had the longest-standing #1 hit of all time with "One Sweet Day" and because she rules all. She defines 90's r&b.
7. Caught A Lite Sneeze by Tori Amos
Beautiful song.
6. Violet by Hole
Amazing. A very special album.
5. Linger by The Cranberries
The entire "Everybody Else is Doing It, Why Can't We?" and "No Need to Argue" albums are amazing back to back. "Ode to My Family" could have made the list.
4. Wicked Games by Chris Isaak
Sweet, sad, depressing, but very sexy song. The video is iconic. Still used in commercials/television today.
3. What's the Frequency, Kenneth? by R.E.M.
Amazing! I love everything R.E.M. does! This song takes me right back to the 90's.
2. Drain You by Nirvana
Because the album 'Nevermind' is perfect. This is just a personal favourite. Almost any song could have gone on there.
1. Naveed by Our Lady Peace

Sitting on the bus on my way home from work with K in my personal cassette player (showing my age)... this tune not only kept me awake but made me instantly happy :-)
9. The Riverboat Song by Ocean Colour Scene
I recall spending many a penny on the Jukebox in my local on this tune. Worth every penny!
