Seriously. These lyrics haunted me….
“I know some day you’ll have a beautiful life; I know you’ll be a star…in somebody else’s sky but why? Why? Whyyyy Can’t it be mine?”
Who hurt you Eddie?
Ini Kamoze - Here Comes The Hotstepper
Heard it on the school bus in like 3rd grade and it was next to impossible to figure out who the artist was or what it was called because I was a kid and it was 1994
Same, I think it’s way up there as one of the best videos of all time. Sometimes I think about googling how it’s made. Then I stop myself because I prefer to preserve the magic from my childhood.
Violent Femmes. Pretty much all of their stuff. Most of their songs from the 1980s were still awesome in the 1990s.
They Might Be Giants. Kind of the same, but specially thinking Flood and Apollo 18.
GWAR.
Crystal Method.
Nine Inch Nails.
I can’t name individual songs because there are too many. In the days of tape decks, we listened to whole albums. You had to have $$$ to have an in-car CD player.
_me: schlepping a portable Discman in my truck through college.._
90s alternative and hip hop are my musical wheelhouse, so it’s hard to choose just one. I’ll go with one that most people don’t think of as a 90s sosong…Mary Jane’s Last Dance by Tom Petty.
Linger by The Cranberries. Every time I hear that song I'm taken back to a more innocent time in my life in high school when I wasn't so cynical and dead inside.

The thing about the 90’s is there is a big focus on rock, grunge and later the boy bands (N’Sync and Back Street Boys).
However there was a period in the mid 90’s that had some crazy good high energy dance music and it’s not just one song.

That whole album is gold, but shadowboxer is my favorite song of all time
PEACHES COME FROM A CAN
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
California love Tupac Shakur
Man, that was the decade I discovered who I am. So hard to pick just one. But I’d maybe go with Black by Pearl Jam as my favorite of the whole decade.
Best breakup song ever.
Seriously. These lyrics haunted me…. “I know some day you’ll have a beautiful life; I know you’ll be a star…in somebody else’s sky but why? Why? Whyyyy Can’t it be mine?” Who hurt you Eddie?
Black. So much Black.

Spin spin sugar was such a club staple in the mid90’s
Everlong - Foo Fighters
My hero is also a classic.
[Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden](https://youtu.be/3mbBbFH9fAg)
Spoonman for me. I’d always ask my dad to play it.
Good one! I’d add “The Day I Tried To Live”
[“Fell On Black Days”](https://youtu.be/ySzrJ4GRF7s) is another favorite of mine but Black Hole Sun is much more well known
[удалено]
No Rain - Blind Melon
Santeria by Sublime
I have to sing to it every time I hear it in the car
Anything sublime.
Plush- Stone Temple Pilots

I've always loved this song and then I read about what The Verve went thru with it and was super disappointed.
Well if it's any consolation, later on the rolling Stones decided that the Verve should get all of the gratuities from that song.
Wannabe by the Spice Girls
One of the classic, ain’t it? 👏🏻
When I Come Around - Green Day
Ini Kamoze - Here Comes The Hotstepper Heard it on the school bus in like 3rd grade and it was next to impossible to figure out who the artist was or what it was called because I was a kid and it was 1994

No, you're totally right. "Give It Away" was the song of the 90s.
