Favorite songs of the 90s
What songs were your favorite back in the 90s? Also what songs were the most overplayed in the 90s in Kansas City?
|
Peaches - The Presidents of the United States of America
|
A lot of Garth Brooks and then one or two songs from a bunch of artists/bands.
|
The 90s are such a polarizing decade of music for me. Lots of really, really good shit (Pavement, Oasis, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, Primal Scream, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sublime, Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, Biggie/Tupac/Nas etc) but also some of the most overrated bands (Nirvana, Pearl Jam [barf], Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, sellout REM) and overall terrible pop music.
My favorite song is probably Gold Soundz by Pavement, though. |
All things Verve and Radiohead. And some Korn.
|
I ignored 90s music at the time, in the last 5-10 years have discovered some that I think is fantastic. STP and Soundgarden; Cat Power and some of the other female acts of that time I really like.
I get nostalgic for the 90s now, was a much less tense era. |

"Never Be Your Woman" by White Town is an all timer.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HIX2RAHPTsI" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Cake's "The Distance" was also an ace tune. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cno20onK9dY" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> "Dr. Worm" by They Might Be Giants. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TkVHdUkMJdk" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> "Flim" by Aphex Twin was probably the best electronic song of all time, if you like complex rhythms. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_-skOEVVpcI" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> "Sugar" by System of a Down was just a shitkicker of a tune. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bqNgSEU5YOs" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Blur's "Coffee And TV" was the groove of the decade. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fCVuK9uwKQE" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> So many great songs. I've got more if anybody likes these recommendations. The 90s were great for off-kilter musical stylings. |
Jesus, someone actually put Snow-Informer as one of the greats. Not naming names
|
Clapton's "Unplugged" Album was fantastic
Not really in line with alot of my tastes but 10,000 Maniacs always made good tunes Rage Cypress Hill |

You can hate all you want, but Informer is a jam!! |
Now let's get this thread back on track.

So much good stuff, impossible to list them all but I would go with Alice In Chains. Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Collective Soul (purple CD), Metallica Black, etc.
Rap would be Warren G, Coolio, 2 PAC, Dre and Snoop, Notorious BIG. Keith Sweat Twisted is my all time smooth song. Mazzy Star. Pixies Where is my Mind kicks ass. I am a softy for Ben Folds Five Brick. |

Jodeci, R.Kelly, Keith Sweat, Usher, Soul 4 Real, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown (basically everyone from New Edition), etc. Hip hop I was heavily into the funky West Coast stuff. NWA, Ice Cube, Dre, Snoop, The DOC. Of course you can't forget Notorious BIG, 2Pac, Wutang, Bone Thugs. Scarface was pretty dope. I always loved LL Cool J. I really didn't discover Nas and Outkast until the 2000s when I was older. Mase had a nice run, as did the Fugees. |

I always loved Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden.
To preface a mildly amusing story- I didn't know a ****ing thing about rock music prior to about a year or so ago. I remembered hearing Truly, Madly, Deeply when I was younger but never knew the artist. I only remember Garden and knew the first word started with an S. So I'm searching YouTube several years ago furiously trying to find this song that randomly popped in my head one day. I come across two bands- Sound Garden and Savage Garden. In my head I'm thinking Truly, Madly is such a soft, sweet song. It HAS to be a Sound Garden right? No lol no, no, no. Apparently Sound Garden is like some heavy metal shit. Well, that's it. I told you it was only mildly amusing but I laugh every time I remember that search. |

It's really hard for me to narrow down my favorite songs of the 90's. Bunch of really good contributions I can dig thus far. Almost all of my faves are 90's band and there was a ton of good Alternative/Grunge/Hip-Hop to be found any and everywhere. Seems like a golden era in my mind, but that's just because it's my childhood.

Personally I love that song. Just heard it a couple of times last week and was loving it. |
I'll spare everyone the death metal vids even though that's where it was at in the 90s along with rap. Some of the other stuff that defined my 90's would be:
The entire Life of Agony - River Runs Red album was/still is crucial af. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UaCijH0USo8" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
The entire Queens of the Stone Age s/t album (1998) when they were still a stoner band.

Wow never new Maynard from Tool was involved in Green Jello...
Prob not the best song from the era, but was in my rotation a lot. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gtffv9bpB-U" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> And Chevelle's first cd Point number 1 was released in 99. That was an epic cd to me! |

Not hard to imagine why I ended up with a metric **** ton of crazy women between 93 and 2000... |
I am a child of the 90's and love tons of music from this era.
Many of the bands I really like were also the popular ones. I realize that's not cool so I won't mention them here. |
Coma Guns N Roses
|
Radiohead, Tool, Alice n chains were the best and still hold up.
|
oK computer up there with Dark Side of the Moon as best stuff

I'll never forget first time I heard Rooster I was driving my AMC Eagle back from Colorado between two semi trucks hauling balls not slowing down for any Podunk towns. I kept up by drafting from the one in front of me but I didn't want to be a bump in the road for the truck inches behind me. The Rooster came on and that was a ****ing A moment. |

Music of the 90's
Clapton of course, Add in some Foo Fighter, Goo Goo Dolls and Pearl Jam.
The 90's were a blurr, so young and foolish . |
