Your favorites of these classic 90s songs

[Cool Chris]

Of that list of songs, while I am sure I have heard most if not all of them, I can only place maybe half of them without knowing the artist. 

[pg1067]

I voted Everlong, Black Hole Sun, Smells Like Teen Spirit, My Heart Will Go On, and Under the Bridge. A lot of those aren't even close to my favorite song by that artist.

I mean this list has only 3 out of the 4 big bands that came out of the Seattle grunge scene.  What would be Alice in Chains' biggest hit?  Man in the Box?  Would?  Them Bones?  Down in a Hole?

Technically, "No Excuses" from Jar of Flies. It hit #1 on the US Main Rock, #3 on US Alternative, and #17 in Canada. Outside of that, I would say "Them Bones" was probably their biggest hit.

I would guess Rooster was AIC biggest hit.

Man in the Box is the only AIC song I'm familiar with (at least that I recognize by name)...for what that's worth.

If there is a thread for the '00s, I suspect I will look at the list and it will prove out that I had pretty much given up on radio by that point, since I likely will know only a couple of songs on it. 

Kev, you should do one for the '70s as well.  I think we have enough fogeys to get a fair number of votes.

As a child of the 90's, I have to disagree with the old timers in here saying the music from the 90's suck.

As a child of the 90's..... man, replace that Celine Dion song with The Power of Love or Because You Loved Me 

Everlong
Jeremy
Ironic
Smooth
Black Hole Sun

[wolfking]

Pearl Jam
Soundgarden

I know some people like to make fun of this band, but how big was Creed's Higher around 1999?

Note to peeps:

THIS WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A LIST OF THE BEST OR MOST CLASSIC 90'S SONGS. IT WAS MERELY A LIST OF CLASSIC SONGS FROM THE 90'S.

Good grief.

And yes, I will do the 00's and 70's.

Kev's made many threads like this over the years, and as soon as he posts the OP it's like...

3....2.....1...

How come you didn't include song "x"?

Yes, we are just reacting to the comments that the 90s is crap for music because of the list.

That reminds me of my "DTF Poster With The Most Bizarre Musical Opinions" thread, where people kept asking, "How come you didn't include TAC?"

WE KNOW!  But it's DTF, and we reserve the right to give you grief about your list because...we're DTF. 

And yes, I will do the 00's and 70's. 

[LudwigVan]

REM
Celine Dion
George Michael
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden

[mikeyd23]

Of the tracks listed, I'd probably go with -

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Radiohead – Creep
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly
Santana – Smooth

[cramx3]

Yea I don't think this is the best list to represent the 90s as a 90s kid, I voted:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Foo Fights

those two songs are awesome.  I've never been a big fan of grunge music.  I enjoy Nirvana a bit, but find them fairly overrated.  Alanis Morriset just missed my cut.  Was never a fan, but those songs were so big in my childhood it's hard not to enjoy Ironic a bit.
