it's almost as if i am not quite their target market
i didn't think "time of your life" and the santana/rob thomas song were 90s either

I do have to say that I'm overjoyed that Silk is on this list. I've been making fun of that song since the day it came out.

santana/rob thomas was definitely dot-com 90s summer of love, along with "All Star" and "What It's Like". I was sitting in the basement of a venture capitalist's new renovated townhome, writing FAQs for his website.

"Wind of Change" is a 1990 power ballad written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of Scorpions. The lyrics celebrate the political changes in Eastern Europe at that time - such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the increasing freedom in the communist bloc (which would soon lead to the fall of the USSR), and the clearly imminent end of the Cold War.

I've heard "How Do You Talk To An Angel?" two times in the past two weeks, after not having heard it since the promo for The Heights was shown in movie theaters in '94. I heard it either at Subway or a supermarket -- must be part of a new Muzak playlist.

i'll always have a soft spot for informer cuz it reminds me of when i left hebrew school and decided to go to a really multi-culti junior high where i met like the first non-jewish friends in my life and discovered rap music, running shoes and reese's pieces

very good list, but these are misses, the first especially
14. spin doctors ?two princes? 31. digable planets ?rebirth of slick? 59. beastie boys ?bodymovin (fatboy slim remix)? 68. fugees ?no woman, no cry? 78. radiohead ?creep?

It came to mind when Songs About The Fall of the Iron Curtain came up with the Scorps, but I don't mind it. I think of "Right Here, Right Now" and "Unbelievable" as two songs that I never heard apart from each other.
