[CalebHayes]

[jpgray]

1. Anything by Ace of Base

Bleeccch.

Awall dat she wants... izzanothur baybuh!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. smells like teen spirit

the song that killed hair metal and started the early 90s musical renaissance

[NightTrain]

4. Damn! You beat me to it.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

10. things where happening before Nirvana.

Its funny but there was some interesting guitar alternarock happening before them, but it was not well known. Thinking about bands like the Pixies or Eleventh Dream Day.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

11. you'll get no argument from this pixies fan

i just chose nirvana because of its symbolic achievement and what it meant to the music industry as a whole

[LincolnMcGrath]

18. Funny how the Pixies disagree with Nirvana bashers

[Laszlo_Hollyfeld]

22. Close, - Come as you are

[mvd]

31. That will always remind me of it

Also, "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. "The Macarena" will be remembered most for bad.

Lots of others..

3. December by Collective Soul.

I was listening to their Greatest Hits earlier today.

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms.

I fucking hate the '90s.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

9. gin blossoms were the epitome of what alt rock became

after it was dumbed down by mtv and made safe for frat boys

the verve pipe
matchbox 20

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

6. early 90s...Allison Road....Gin Blossoms.

late 90s...??? I sort of stopped listening.

[HEyHEY]

12. AH! We have much to talk about!

I love the blossoms

[mac56]

27. Me too!

Vastly underrated and marginalized. Took a load of shit for undeserved reasons (i.e., "dared to become popular").

[eyesroll]

7. "Two Princes," Spin Doctors

I graduated high school in '93, and although I wasn't there, I bet it was played at my 10-year reunion.

On edit: :puke:, just to be clear

[wyldwolf]

8. Long list

I worked in radio through most of the 90s...

Macarena
The Train (Quad City DJs)
After The Rain - Nelson
Silent Lucidity - Queensryche (sp?)
Vision of Love (Mariah Carey)
Smells Like Teen Spirit


too many more to list

[coloradodem2005]

13. Funny.

Two of those: the Nelson and the Queensryche songs must have been from before Nirvana when the 90's still sounded like the 80's.

[wyldwolf]

15. '91! I was programming a "rock 40" station

[HEyHEY]

14. Bro Hym by Pennywise

[LincolnMcGrath]

16. Tourettes

Nirvana

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

17. also "One' by U2

the zootv years were my favorite of that band

[kcwayne]

19. My Sacrifice - Creed

[CalebHayes]

20. Joke?

right?

[kcwayne]

23. Wasn't meant to be

Even though the song came out in 2001/2002, the vocal style reminds me of Hootie and the Blowfish which I definitely tag to the 90s, and the lyric "I'm Free" reminds me of how I felt before King George the Worst and his goose stepping Republicans put their boot on this country's neck.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. The Sign by Ace of Bass

:puke:

[CalebHayes]

24. I'd say something by Matchbox 20...

even though I don't really like them all that much I really remember that alt rock sound.

[NickB79]

25. Long December by Counting Crows

Reminds me of the first real high school party I went to when I was 16, and the hottest girl in our class mixed drinks for me :-) Aaahh, Strawberry Schnaps, mmmmm.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

26. Can't pick one..................

the 90's were a good music decade for me. A small list might include:

"Man in the Box" - Alice in Chains
"Spaghetti Western" - Primus
"Particle Man" - They Might Be Giants
"Breed" - Nirvana
"Mind Riot" - Soundgarden
Anything off of "Achtung Baby"
"Beyond This Horizon" - Screaming Trees
"Small Victory" - Faith No More
"Beercan" - Beck
"Prison Sex" - Tool
"Last Goodbye" - Jeff Buckley
"Devil's Haircut" - Beck

OK, I'll stop now.

[MissMillie]

28. Sunny Came Home

Record of the year... and a fun reminder of Lilith Fair.

[robertpaulsen]

29. "Heaven Beside You" by Alice in Chains

Especially loved the acoustic version, but great either way. That and "Dumb" by Nirvana have a dark beautiful moody quality that reminds me of my time working in an Oregon coffeeshop back in the good ol' 90s.

[DrWeird]

30. That one about the berlin wall- early ninties.

Forget the name. Jesus Jones?

One hit wonder.

[Lavender Brown]
