The 10 best songs from the 90's

1. Brian Conley - Resurrection Shuffle
2. Brian Conley - Ain't Too Proud to Beg
3. Brian Conley - Pink Cadillac
4. Brian Conley - Shake a Tail Feather
5. Brian Conley - Every Little Heartbeat
6. Shane Richie - Just When I Needed You Most

if i had made the list on jan 1 2000 it woulda looked like this i think:

snoop – doggy dogg world
kurupt – we can freak it
tony tone toni – lets get down (ft dj quik)
too short – gettin it
naughty by nature – feel me flow
rbl posse – dont give me no bammer
wu – triumph
outkast – ATLiens
master p – burbons and lacs
3 6 mafia – late nite tip
e-40 – sprinkle me
2pac – how do you want it

think it would look a little different now but these would all easily be in my top 30 or so.

― a talented ‘Rebel’ with Balls (Spottie)

Just realized this list by Spottie does not have “spottieottiedopaliscious” in it. Username neglected.

i know i was gonna put it in over ATLiens but had to be honest with myself... ATLiens had a bigger impact on me in the 90s

Balil - 3/4 Heart
LTJ Bukem - Demon's Theme
Levitation - Smile (EP version)

....

Dunno. Lemme get back to you.

Basically replicating what I did on the '70s thread, but I'm bored, so why not -- not a top ten list per se, but one song from my favorite album of each year of the decade:
1990: Jane's Addiction - "Ritual de lo Habitual": "Three Days"
1991: Nirvana - "Nevermind": "Drain You"
1992: Alice in Chains - "Dirt": "Down in a Hole"
1993: Nirvana - "In Utero": "Scentless Apprentice"
1994: Nine Inch Nails - "The Downward Spiral": "Closer"
1995: Smashing Pumpkins - "Mellon Collie...": "1979"
1996: Stone Temple Pilots - "Tiny Music...": "Big Bang Baby"
1997: Radiohead - "OK Computer": "Climbing up the Walls"
1998: Outkast - "Aquemini": "SpottieOttieDopaliscious"
1999: Eminem - "The Slim Shady LP": "'97 Bonnie and Clyde"

Honorary mention to that live performance of LONG SEASON by Fishmans that has become popular through social media. Believe the hype, it’s worth the runtime.

More discussion on the phenomenon here

Decades-old stuff that was fairly unknown in the West but suddenly got very famous online (aka: the Fishmans thread)

the best fishmans track is "yurameki in the air" fwiw

Fuck this shit. “The Treeclimber”? Two Blur songs? There was way too much great music released in the ‘90s for me to seriously consider narrowing down all my favorite songs to only ten.

Isn't seeing how well/how poorly they age half the fun of listmaking exercises like this?

(Stereo MCs "Connected" made my shortlist, fwiw)
