OK we all know music isn't what it used to be and the nineties were the best

- but what songs sum up the nineties for you?

IMO this is definitely up there:

Sum up the 90's... Hmm.

Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Alice In Chains - Rooster
Nirvana - Sliver

There's more but I've no time to think of them now.

MC Hammer-cant touch this
The Prodigy-firestarter
That life less ordinary song by ash
Fade Out-Radiohead
Gangster Paradise-Coolio
The Cardigans-lovefool
Spaceman-Babylon Zoo

In addition it was the best decade ever.

Bubs101 · 16-09-2009 12:08pm

Supergrass - Alright

thebigcheese22 · 16-09-2009 7:25pm

Pearl Jam - Even Flow
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

Was only in my nappies for them but oh I wish for the days when pop music was original and good

Thinking along the same lines, good stuff.

I actually came across it by mistake in 1990 when it used to stop at 7pm. I think it was the only station I ever listened to.

I preferred 'One and One', to be honest:

Xavi, you're a genius for Suggesting that Richard Marx song - It's friggin' amazing!

Here are some of my own suggestions:

Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't it be good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIBzbdo2LjU

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcNzHOBmk8

Touch and Go - Would You

Seal - Crazy.
Good tune from 1990.

The pictures in the video don't seem to have anything to do with the song though...I couldn't find the real video.

i agree , hate the song but it is quientesentially mid 1990,s

thier are many quientesentially 90,s songs and seeing that it was the defining genre of that era , most of them are dance tunes

think , urban cookie collection , robert miles , culture beat , mc something and the real mc coy , any song by american kim simms , all horribly dated now and completley of thier time

the nineties was a great decade for chart music , not as good as the 80,s but a hundred times better than the noughties which is the worst decade ever by a country mile

+1 to both of those. "The Sign" and "Life Is a Flower" are two other great quintessentially '90's Ace of Base tracks.

Here's one of my favourite pop songs of all time: I was about 6 or 7 when it was released and can still remember the video!

Unfortunately, I`ve no idea how to post youtube videos here, and i`m not even going to attempt it!!!
But heres` a list of some quintessential nineties tunes for me...

Design For Life - Manic Street Preachers
Live Forever- Oasis
Animal Nitrate - Suede
Inbetweener - Sleeper

Oh and OP was right, the nineties were the best!!:D

EDIT: Can I just add Elastica`s first album to my list, the whole album is just so reminiscent of the nineties for me. Its` a classic.
