Pitchfork's Top 20 Songs of the 90s

Featured Replies

nooo, I think This Is Hardcore is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Common People

Guess I'll join that moron club too then :P U2 stink.

 

The best song of the 90's is Love Spreads ~ The Stone Roses, by a fuckin' long way :smug:

 

Nah - U2 are the Kings. One is a hell of a song but so is Love Is Blindness. That whole album is great. Easily the greatest album of the 90s.

As for Love Spreads great song from not as great an album. It's not a disaster Second Coming but it's far from their first album! I love this one myself.

Two songs better than the shit Piitchfork proposed.

Definitely my favourite album of the 90s.

Well yeah definately agree with Fool's Gold, but that was eleased Nov '89, so doesn't count :P However, I've just read that Resurrection was a single in 1992, so I revise my earlier claim: Best song of the 90s was I Am The Resurrection :dance: (in fact best song of the 20th century)

Really? I thought it was 1990?

just went through the entire list. i have no idea why Yellow Ledbetter was the only PJ song on the list. they seem to be the only people in the music world who dont think U2 were a highly relevant band in the 90s. and they seem to have this policy of including only 1 song per band in the top 200 (i believe that applies to radiohead also)

 

but i really like some of their choices between 50 and 21.

 

50. "Live Forever" - Oasis

49. "Autumn Sweater" - Yo La Tengo

48. "Everlong" - Foo Fighters

47. "Rid Of Me" - PJ Harvey

46. "Music Sounds Better With You" - Stardust

45. "Mind Playing Tricks On You" - Geto Boys

44. "Unfinished Symphony" - Massive Attack

43. "Setting Sun" - Chemical Brothers feat. Noel Gallagher.

42. "Closer" - NIN

41. "Passin' Me By" - Pharcyde

40. "Little Fluffy Clouds" - The Orb

39. "Sabotage" - Beastie Boys

38. "Check The Rhime" - Tribe Called Quest

37. "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Sinead O Connor

36. "Game Of Pricks" - Guided By Voices

35. "The Reminisce Over You" - Pete Rock

34. "Regret" - New Order

So good it has to be posted.

Quite frankly if anypone disagrees with that then they are morons who don't know any better. And at present there's 2 official morons on here.

 

LOL

 

I'm an official moron.

I don't like the song One, it's like one of my least favourite U2 songs.
