@@blackdragon6 yeah but don`t you guys know that i`am a real 90s kid i mean when were you guys born ? me i born in 1989 and that makes me a 90s kid because that was the decade when i was a kid
lmao even by 1995 it was probably dated (I was a kid so I didn't know what was cool, I only knew what I liked) but recent enough too if that makes sense
If they would run this commercial now in this form, they would sell more CD's in one day they did in the whole week back in the 90's. And this is assuming that the 1-800 numbers does not function anymore.
I remember this commercial when I was 11! I never really understood why they were selling a 90s compilation during the 90s since the decade wasn't even finished. I also remember a half hour infomercial too.
@@sgillman16 I also ordered the CD, back in September 95. I distinctly remember the month because I started my second year of high school (Brentwood School) and some of the songs were on my "life soundtrack". I used to dream of my crush while listening to some of these classics. Well, guess what? It's been 24 years, and I never got it in the mail. Nothing. It seems silly to complain about it after a quarter-century, but...I still wonder how cool I would have been if I had this on CD blaring on my stereo with all my friends over. Oh, what could have been.
I ordered this cd as well but I got it!! I REALLY would like to have the ultimate of 90s EDM and techno!! Including Busy Child, Rockefeller Skank, and Block Rockin’ Beats
Hot chick! I'd even listen to Right Said Fred and Vanilla Ice just for her. I think the set came out in the mid 90's as pop radio was a real mixture in the early 90's with many not knowing just how deep to go into hip hop, r&b, dance, house, freestyle, alternative, and rock. It was a real smorgasbord and buffet of styles if averaged out you'd wind up with Prince.
What about power ballads ("High Enough" and "To Be With You")? This was a couple years before Razor and Tie would release their own hugely successful "Monster Ballads"
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! "Sitting here crying about my lost youth" I wish I could go back and relive so many days when this music was supreme!! Back to my dancing days!!!
This was one of my favorite commercials as a kid, and I thought the dude and this girl were what cool grownups were like, lol. Since this was 1995 so it was mostly holdover 80s songs which is even better too!
Even when I saw this commercial as a kid, I kept thinking "the 90s aren't even halfway over, shouldn't they wait to do this compilation? Also why is there no grunge or west coast rap?"
@@nlee4566 That's better than when people talk about "oh I miss the 90s" and cram the entire 90s into 1999 like Britney. The 80s leftovers were the best part of the 90s lol
Grunge didn't really start to take off until after Cobain had already died; so around 94/95. Obviously it existed before that (arguably back into the 80s, depending on your definition), but it was mostly in small regional pockets. 95 is when you started seeing bands like Pearl Jam, STP, Pumpkins, etc. really hit the heights of the era, continuing all the way into the early-00s. But before that, you had a sort of weird collection of early hip-hop (think Boyz II Men), the end of hair-metal bands (Metallica was an interesting crossover), and pop (Celine Dion, Whitney, etc). It was definitely an interesting era.
"But wait, there's more! If you buy now, we'll also send you the 2nd half of the 90's! You'll get the best of 'Back Street Boys', "NSNYC", "Brittney Spears", "Third Eye Blind", "Blink 182", "Sugar Ray", "Barenaked Ladies" and as an extra special bonus, you'll get "Chumbawamba"!!"
Also throw in some gangster rap and grunge. I thought that was weird even when I saw the commercial as a kid, and the fact that it was 95. Like why not wait 4 years? Made no sense even then
Man, this was such a sweet compilation. It's funny, but I still think about this all the time since I still listen to a lot of these songs! I can remember the whole order of songs from the commercial.
Actually the only one hit wonders are the Heights (not even a real artist, the song is from a tv show), Us3, Right Said Fred, the Proclaimers, House of Pain, Tom Cochrane, Charles & Eddie, and Fu-Schnickens. So 8 out of 36 were one hit wonders and one wasn’t a real act.
I'm always surprised the companies who put these albums together never released more specific themed compilations, like The Best of Songs Written By Diane Warren. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Since this commercial was on the "newer" side of things I wasn't able to here it from memory. I just came across the commercial for the Senior Prom compilations and still new what song was coming next. It is crazy how they find a way deep into our memories. I will be looking these up and if I can get them for cheap on eBay I'll make that investment. If not I will do like I did for the Senior Prom ones and make a playlist on Apple Music.
I grew up in the 1990s. When that decade ended, I could tell that the media would no longer be so exciting for me. I had hardly been crazy about music from any time after the 1990s.
How Do You Talk to an Angel by The Heights is the greatest song in the history of recorded music from TV shows. Way better than the Friends theme song.
Disclaimer: "Living in the 90's" is heavily loaded with songs from 1990 and 1991 and thus may feel more like the 80's. If you experience symptoms of songs that sound a little too 80's, call your doctor immediately or just listen to some Smashing Pumpkins or Stone Temple Pilots."
They should call this compilation "living in the first 3 years of the 90s". 90% of the songs are 1990-1992 and I dont think any song was from past 1994.
Omg! I’m so nostalgic and would listen to this cd in the car with my parents on repeat 😂 I had no idea this commercial existed let alone that there was 2 cds until today. It took me 8 years to discover “ice ice baby’s ” existence and was obsessed . Lol
THE 1990'S SONGS LIKE: MMMBOP! GANGSTA PARADISE! BARBIE GIRL! NO SCRUBS! LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA! ALWAYS BE MY BABY! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! UN-BREAK MY HEART!
I remembered writing the songs down, then when I turned 16 and got a job, I would buy the cds with those songs. Gotta admit, I only bought may be 2 cds, because it was disappointing, I rather listen to the radio, when the songs come on, hit record, and also record the annoying dj cutting in.
Lol after seeing some of these song names I can’t believe my mom bought this for me back in the day. Lucky for her I really Only ever played ice ice baby and can’t touch this.
Back when that CD was advertised, a lot of it was an open secret to put it lightly. Thankfully, that isn't the case anymore and nobody is covering his very terrible actions.
