• 10. Inside Out by Eve 6
  I just COULDN'T STOP listening to this song!
• 9. Don't Speak by No Doubt
  This song is basically about breaking up...This was about the time when they became more than just a ska band, they were rock and pop.
• 8. The Sign by Ace of Base
  I always argued with my family, telling them that the song went, "I saw the sun..."
• 7. Crossroads by Bone Thugs N Harmony
  I was WOWed by this song and video! Excellent work by BTNH!
• 6. Waterfalls by TLC
  This song was very cool, the video was amazing!
• 5. Barbie Girl by Aqua
  Can't forget this classic! "C'Mon, Barbie, let's go party..."
• 4. Special by Garbage
  I used to watch this video EVERYDAY on MTV when it came out!
• 3. Friends In Low Places by Garth Brooks
  Me and my cuz even made up little hand movements for the chorus!
• 2. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot
  Two words: True classic.
• 1. Ironic by Alanis Morrisette
  I think Alanis' "Jagged Little Pill" was the first CD I bought (I did have other cassettes before this, mind you), the Ironic video was a real favorite of mine.

Close Calls were: "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, "I Say A Little Prayer" by Diane King/ The My Best Friend's Wedding cast, "Scream" by Michael and Janet Jackson, "No Scrubs" by TLC, "Changes" by Tupac, "November Rain" by Guns'n'Roses, "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies, "Chocolate Salty Balls" by the Chef from SouthPark (or any song by him for that matter), any Weird Al song, I could make a Top 1000 list!

• 10. Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies
  This just reminds you of summer and craziness for some reason!
• 9. The Freshman by The Verve Pipe
  This song has a great feel to it..lyrics are awesome and everything gells
• 8. Something's Always Wrong by Toad the Wet Sprocket
  Another great song from one of the most underappreciated bands of the decade..great guitar parts in there!
• 7. Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie B. Hawkins
  Love the background part of this song..great energy!
• 6. Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough by Patty Smith and Don Henley
  A really great duet!
• 5. Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O' Conner
  Although she's not very well liked nowadays...she sings this song with great passion and it's wonderful!
• 4. November Rain by Guns n' Roses
  What a masterpiece and one of the best music videos ever!
• 3. This Used to be My Playground by Madonna
  This song fits "A League of their Own" so very well
• 2. Ordinary World by Duran Duran
  Good lyrics, but the guitar riffs are awesome!
• 1. Stay ( I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories
  She sings this very well, powerful lyrics

Early 90's music rocks and beats out anything else i've heard since then...none of this "pop" stuff that floods the airways nowadays! We need more bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam..but others like Madonna..Goo Goo Dolls..John Mellencamp...have stayed great all through the 90's!
