What are some favorite/classic songs of the 90s?

[StarsKay]

There are too many good ones but just as many terrible ones that when reflecting on it, make me cringe that I was into that at the time, though it's best to laugh about it :lol: Afterall, the following generations may just be saying the same about today's music (not Coldplay of course, they're timeless, and as Chris said himself "maybe I'm biased, but I'm definitely right" :smug:

 

So what are your favorite or the most classic, or even your favorite classic 90s songs?

 

From off the top of my head (meaning this will definitely change lol), I reckon my top 5 favorites in no particular order are:

 

 

1. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
   
2. RHCP - Californication or Under the Bridge
   
3. Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
   
4. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
   
5. Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
   

These are by no means my absolute favorites, but they do get me thinking about the 90s. Too bad Red, Red Wine by UB40 was done in the 80s as that would've totally made my list :D

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody ?!!!

 

Released October 31, 1975

When I think of the 90s I think of Blur.

Pretty good list it turned out to be....

 

Very UK oriented but I'd take British Alt-rock charts over American Alt-rock charts any day.

[polkahard]

These immediately pop into my head:

 

Bitter Sweet Symphony--The Verve

Common People--Pulp

One--U2

Buddy Holly--Weezer

 

Heck, even some Spice Girls should be in there. I still love some Wannabe every now and then... :laugh4:

[a_face_of_light]

Heart shaped Box

Blood Sugar Sex Magik the song and most of the album in fact(that song always makes me think of pole dancers) and Californication I'm one of the few RHCP fans that doesn't like Under The Bridge.

 

No Doubt- Don't speak

RATM-Killing in the Name Of

 

Blur- Song 2(not sure if it's 90's or 00's though as I was never greatly into the rest of thier work)

 

Metallica- Enter sandman and Unforgiven

 

The Smashing Pumpkins- Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Adore,XYU,Through the eyes Of Ruby, Zero, An Ode to no one f**k you

[StarsKay]

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody ?!!!

 

Released October 31, 1975

You are very correct, but yes, I was being sneaky and referring to the '92 re-release :D but it's true :shame: lol.

 

 

Anyway another one that comes to mind: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

 

These immediately pop into my head:

 

Bitter Sweet Symphony--The Verve

Common People--Pulp

One--U2

Buddy Holly--Weezer

 

Heck, even some Spice Girls should be in there. I still love some Wannabe every now and then... :laugh4:

I have to agree with your last comment lol. I went on a youtube search through a bunch of 90s clips and couldn't pass the song (I didn't listen to it all the way though, that would be too much :lol:).

:shocked2: Wow! I don't know how long it would take me to compile a list like this! There are a lot on there I'd totally have in mine too. Although now I simply can't stand Wonderwall, it definitely gets me thinking back to the 90s without a doubt!

[tennis08tarheels]

My list would contain a good bit of Oasis, a good bit of U2, a good bit of Rage Against the Machine, a good bit of RHCP and a good bit of Collective Soul.

I think Californication came out in 99, good way to end the decade

What else...

Wonderwall

Oughta Know

And I'm sorry, but these are classics:

Baby one more time

Tearing up my heart

Anything by the BSB

 

I remember being 8 years old and listening to them all the time

[coldcoldwater]

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

:laugh3: I know what you meant by "I'm sorry". Those are definite 90s classics though certain do make me shutter lol. Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, and definitely Alanis Morrisette.

 

A few more that spring to mind are tracks from Boyz II Men. All I think about is the 90s when I think of these guys.
