Savage Garden had some good ones

nice list.. it took me back to yesterday.. it seems that some of the songs I knew from your list are from the 80's. great great!!!

Anyone remember "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus? It was released in 2000, but that's close enough.

"I listen to Iron Maiden, baby..."

:) i actually really loved "nothing compares 2 u" by Shinead o connor, althoughi was just a kid when it came out, but i stil think its a pretty song

nothing will compare to Michael Jackson (except for Mika)

isnt it a bit odd how Michael Jackson and Mika have the same taste in sound. i find it funny and very creative.

MySpace.com - Michael Jackson - Pop / Rock / Soul - www.myspace.com/michaeljackson

MySpace.com - MIKA - LONDON, UK - Pop / Rock / Powerpop - www.myspace.com/mikamyspace

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss me

song is totally dynamite.

well Michael Jackson has been charged for that. Mika on the other hand can be sneaky about sleeping with children.

either way they're amazing. haha!

hahaha, i found that very funny, but i hope you werent being seriuos?

yeah and when that happens you tell me because i'll be visiting heaven to kill god for ever letting that happen

lol I was listening to kiss from a rose about two weeks ago....I love that song.....it always reminds me of Batman Forever.....it was a great choice to be placed on that soundtrack...

The Cranberries had some great songs

I probably knew every Alanis Morrisette song by heart and could sing it verbatim

Batman Forever is placed toward many songs haha. but i see what you're saying.

i love Cathy Dennis' Too Many Walls and hell yeah mama Madonna

Madonna never really got me into her music, i mean i listened to her a few times time and time again but i never really thought she was that good of a pop singer TBH

I just love listening backstreet boys. Its difficult for me to making choice of any songs of Backstreet Boys.

I loved most early 90s pop and some of the later 90s pop. Here were my favorites:

GO WEST - King of Wishful Thinking
AMY GRANT - Baby Baby
AMY GRANT - Every Heartbeat
NEW ORDER - Regret
DEPECHE MODE - Enjoy the Silence
DONNA LEWIS - I Love You Always Forever
ACE OF BASE - Don't Turn Around
ACE OF BASE - The Sign
ACE OF BASE - All That She Wants
ACE OF BASE - Beautiful Life
ERASURE - Always
SHAKESPEAR'S SISTER - Stay
SIMPLY RED - Stars
ROXETTE - It Must Have Been Love
ALL-4-ONE - I Can Love You Like That
SHERYL CROW - All I Wanna Do
DUNCAN SHEIK - Barely Breathing
DEL AMITRI - Roll to Me
SHANICE - I Love Your Smile
SEAL - Kiss From a Rose
OMC - How Bizarre
ALANIS MORISSETTE - Head Over Feet
KYLIE MINOGUE - Step Back in Time
KYLIE MINOGUE - Confide in Me
MADONNA - Ray of Light
MADONNA - Frozen

oh, come on! there's no 1 song by Oasis in your list......and Wonderwall (1995)?

There are so many excellent Pop songs from the 90's! Among my favourites are "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode and "The One" by Elton John.

Enjoy the Silence was early 1990, so those who say the 90s started in 91 wouldn't include it. And most of Elton John's best tunes were done before the 90s.

Someone couldn't pick a song for the Backstreet Boys, well how about Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely?

No, not that one.

My favorite Backstreet Boys song that was number 1 material "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)

My all time favorite BSB song has to be "The Call" though.

I would say that my favorite nineties songs (and honestly they could fall into a variety of "top hits of the nineties" lists or compilations). Some of them have been named but not all I think.

White Town - "If I was your woman" (odd little ditty that)
U96 - Pretty much anything by them but Das Boot was still their best and most creative IMHO.
Blind Melon - "No Rain"
Barenaked Ladies - Again, anything by them
Blur - "Girls and Boys" , "Song 2"
Placebo - "Pure Morning"
Smashing Pumpkins - Again everything
Len - "If you steal my sunshine"
Meja - "All 'Bout the Money"
Natalie Imbrugulia - "Torn"
Spin Doctors - "Two Princes"
Crash Test Dummies - Anything by them, the lead singer's voice just was a bit unique
Scatman John - Anything
Ini Kamoze - "Here comes the Hotstepper"
Soul Asylum - Anything
Wycleaf Jean or anything by the Fugies
Faithless - "Insomnia"
Betty Boo - "Doin the Doo"
Guru Josh - "Infinity"
Paula Abdul - "Rush Rush", "The Promise of a New Day"
Savage Garden - "Truly, Madly, Deeply"
The Wannadies - "You Me" song
Martika - "Love Thy will be done"
Kelly Family - "Roses of red"
New Radikals - "You only get what you give"
Weezer - "Buddy Holly"
Rob Zombie - "Living Dead Girl"
Cowboy Junkies - Their version of "Sweet Jane"
K's Choice - "Not an Addict"
Sin with Sebastian - "Golden Boy"
Right Said Fred - "I'm too Sexy"
Hole - "Violet"
Manic Street Preachers - Anything
Radiohead - "Fake Plastic Trees"
Suede - "Trash"
Shawn Colvin - "Rockaby"
Heather Nova - Anything
Jeff Buckley - Anything
Bjork - Anything
Garbage - "Stupid Girl"


That's a few. The Cure's "Wish" album and Radiohead's first album would also be put in here somewhere if there were a top albums of the nineties thread (which there might be, I have not looked yet). And that is my rather long list (which is most likely much longer).

Gosh, how great was the 90s for music? And everything? Madonna dominated the 90s. I just wish she would have stopped there. She has long over-stayed her welcome in the entertainment world. There is a difference between being a classic idol and trying to always be in the scene. Unfortunate. I choose to remember her as the 90s version though! Amazing.

Seal - Crazy
Placebo - Pure Morning
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Live - I Alone
Spin Doctors -Semi-Charmed Life

Thats five for now.

The songs I was most excited about on the radio in the nineties:

Savage Garden - I Want You


Fastball - The Way

This was one of my absolute favorites. I kind of dug the dark backstory, where it was about elderly people just taking off...possibly ironic, but much after this song was released, when I was in college, my great uncle got pissed off that they wanted to take his driver's license away from him. He took off in a huff in his car, ended up next to a lake the next state over, drove up the horse trails, his car broke down...and then he took off walking down the trail and they found him several days later. In ANOTHER weird turn of events, I had no idea where he'd actually been found, but he'd been found, apparently less than 100 yards from the campsite my friends and I had been going to for months. I found that out when I made my mother drop me off to camp because I didn't feel like driving out there and paying for parking, and she said exactly where he'd been found...it was the part of the creek literally right outside of our campsite. We have to walk about a mile to get to the site. I was skeeved out. Anyway. Yeah.

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box


Jewel - You Were Meant For Me


Tonic - If You Could Only See


The Wallflowers - One Headlight


The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen

WAY before I was a freshman. Even when this song came out, I was SO far away from being a freshman in high school, but I loved this song. I remember specifically recording this one to cassette from the radio.

Blues Traveler - Run Around


Radiohead - Creep

I liked the Wallflowers One Headlight and The Way by Fastball also Phanastasio.

Here are 5 more.

Crowded House -Dont Dream Its Over
Sting - Fields Of Gold
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U
Go West - King Of Wishful Thinking
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy
