WatchMojo, the songs from the 1990's I think they deserve to get more recognition are the following: Real McCoy - Another Night (1995) New Radicals - You Get What You Give (1998) The Outhere Brothers - Boom Boom Boom (1995) K-Ci & JoJo - All My Life (1997) Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe (1994) Deee-Lite - Groove Is in the Heart (1990) Double 99 - RipGroove (1997) Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar (Armand's Dark Garage Mix) (1997) New Order - Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix) (1995)
Umm, 90's music is the reason I started purchasing 80's music from Europe., and revisiting the "Motown" sounds I grew up with, and appreciating the "Blues" of ZZ Hill, Bobby Bland" and John Lee Hooker, and BB King (drinking music).. The "deepest song " on your list was "Waterfalls". Even "Prince", was an '80's thing that carried on into the '90s. I think that the last two "CDs", I bought from "Tower Records", was "Cracked Rearview Mirror" by "Hootie and the Blowfish", and "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues". By Everlast. (90's music basically sucked.) .The best song of the '90s was Usher's "Yhea" in 2004.I know,it's not the '90's but when my twins were in the car and my head was bopping, one of them said "My friend at school said her father likes that song too, why do old people like it so much?

@@blackmesacake5361 LOL! Let me ask you rhis: do you listen/watch 90s stuff more than recent music and movies? Or do you do half and half? 90s to early 2000s (and a little of mid to late 2000s), I listen to more. There's nice stuff now, but 90s (and early 2000s) was a whole ass vibe.
@@MelaninCosplay I kinda go all over the map, I love the 90s as a whole, way more than any other decade, but I love a lot of current music as well as the 2000s and 2010s stuff too, as well as some of the 80s, but mostly 80s pop.
@@GT-mq1dx I get that cos depending on your taste of music it could have been really bad. At least as of 2022 Walmart radio but only on Overnight shifts would play Guns N Roses. But nit ever Metallica. Work radio always csters to the masses and I get it........ but even the masses can enjoy some rock or metal now and again.
@@brittneyihrig1216 the same walmart radio that played meme songs like Peanut Butter Jelly Time and that Seagulls ones with the Return of the Jedi video. There are others, but those two I had the unfortunate pleasure of hearing for years.
If you mean by current music; mainstream music, music made for radio, and music made for the masses, then probably they are unforgettable because they were unavoidable. I have found memories about music from the 90's, but 50% of these songs I've never heard, 40% I have heard but didn't care, and maybe two or three are still worth listening to. I think there was so much more interesting music in that decade then these random 30 (mostly) mediocre radio hits. It's a list for people who were teenagers in that period.
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life Tonic - If You Could Only See White Town - Your Woman Fools Garden - Lemon Tree Marcy Playground - Sex & Candy Babylon Zoo - Spaceman Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack The Cardigans - Love Fool Meredith Brooks - B*tch Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe All 4 One - I Swear
Those were the best years of my life. From high school (92-96) to college (96-2000). Im 45 now, but I surely feel as if that era was just 7-10 years ago.
Brandy & Monica’s “the boy is mine.” & the Cure’s “Friday I’m in love.” are definitely not forgotten tracks at all, they’re very well known and they are their signature songs.
I couldn't get away from those two songs back then if I tried! "The Boy Is Mine" was everywhere in the late '90s and my local rhythmic radio station played the hell out of it.
Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home, Alisha's Attic - I Am, I Feel, Goo Goo Dolls - Name, Tevin Campbell - I'm Ready, Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand
Stay is mine and my partners song. It's weird, but we met at a party, he was playing it on a guitar in another room and I started singing it. It's absolutely a breakup song, but we've been together for 22 years. We've met Lisa once and for our anniversary last year she sent us hand written lyrics. 💜💜
Um...I hadn't heard more than half of these - and I'm a 90's baby. xD I would've forgotten most of 'em too, because my memory stinks and I just find new hyperfixations. :P (fun fact: I only know Be My Lover due to my work place, of which I joined last year. Never heard it before until then)
There are a lot of songs that I didn’t like when they came out but over the years or through nostalgia I’ve come to appreciate. “You Get What You Give” might be the only one that I still can’t stand. 😂 I’ve tried to appreciate it so many times but eventually keep removing it from any playlist if it pops up. I’m with you on Bittersweet Symphony though.
I was 15 - 25 in this decade. Such a great decade for music, it was a real mixed bag, and I loved most of it. Only a couple I didn't really care about.
The vocalist for Real McCoy's "Another Night" (Patricia Petersen) was actually miming to the real vocalist, Karin Kasar. O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza) was really rapping, though. He and Karin went on tour witih several other 90s nostalgia acts a few years ago.
I listen to these songs and I am overwhelmed with such a powerful melancholic nostalgia. It’s because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. no matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
@@Spooky_515 Yes very marginal job of representing 90's music where the Hell is No Doubt, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Cranberries and last but not least N I R V A N A!!!!
"In the meantime " definitely brings me some trauma when I hear it. In 1996, a friend of mine went to see them in concert and unfortunately he never made it home. The next morning, his body was discovered in the middle of a set of train tracks not too far from his home. To this day, we have an idea of who may have been involved, but unfortunately, there was no concrete evidence to have anyone face justice. It's definitely a great song,but it still hurts to hear it,especially when the piano kicks in at the end. It makes me think about how he missed out on so many opportunities in life.
Me and my brother met the singer of, Spin Doctors, in 1991 on the platform at Broadway Lafayette and he was the biggest POS. Makes me feel good to know they're a one hit wonder.
Sorry to hear he was he was such a tool. Might be a two-hit wonder because of Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, but we don't hear anything from them anymore.
Dunno about their personality, but I loved Two Princes in the early 90s, and Little Miss Can't Be Wrong as well. Saw Spin Doctors live once. They were terrible. Probably the worse band I've ever seen in concert. Played like shit, bad timing, lead vocals were crap. However lightning struck for those two produced tracks, but between bad character and fake skills, it's no wonder they're history. NGL, I'll still rock out like I was 20yo when TP or LMCBW comes up on my shuffle. Heh.
I was 23 in 1990 and had or first of 3 children in 1993 so it was 80’s rather than the 90’s music that I danced to in nightclubs and bands I saw in concert, but so many of these songs formed a backdrop to my mid to late 20’ as I raised my babies. Many of these songs are still on our playlists. Thanks so much for reminding me that there were a lot of great songs in the 90’s.
You guys do realise that 'Glam' was David Bowie's FOURTH recording style...RIGHT? 1st was English R & B styling, next a bit of folkiness, and then a bit of Tyrannosaurus Rex style, THEN 'Glam' for 3 LPs and done.
No Rain by Blind Melon? Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind? Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve? Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers? Waterfalls by TLC? Iris by Goo Goo Dolls? Closing Time by Semisonic?

La Bouche's "Be My Lover" is more Eurodance than techno. As for New Radicals, they nearly debuted with another song that might sound familiar to anyone who knows about Saltburn: "Murder on the Dancefloor."
Gregg Alexander co-wrote it, but it was released in 2001 by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who I think also shares a co-writing credit. Their second single, "Someday We'll Know", was covered by Mandy Moore on a soundtrack to one of her movies, perhaps "The Notebook"? Alexander has since wrote tracks for artists such as Melanie C and Natasha Bedingfield.
I love the song "Fade into You" and it is one song that would be least expected for me to like looking at what I listen to Also "Lightning Crashes" was great along with "Far Behind", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and "Bound for the Floor" In the 80s I was into Punk, Thrash, Industrial, and Hair Metal along with the start of Grunge.
@@claudiascalzo17 No argument here, it is absolutely a great song. But they recycled at least 3 songs off an older list very similar to this one and that was my gripe. It was a missed opportunity to point out other great songs like Blue Monday by Orgy or even other Cure songs that aren’t their singles 😂
@@starbrite526 it came out in August of ‘89 and the album came out in 1990, if anything it’s both an 80s and 90s song (more 90s to me) 😂 and thats not even to mention Johnny Cash’s version from ‘02
just love how robin give the midle finger to all the abusive music corporations and did what she realy love that is good music and not rubish pop like everibody's doing !
Nearby my favorite podcast's (Ketzerkirche = Heretics Church, Honigwabe = Honey Comb, Clownswelt = Clownworld, Kasperkast = Kasper Cast) episodes, audio dramas, audio/talking books and other great music stuff I'm still listening to EVERY SINGLE great song portraied and introduced here! I live the 90's forever - and - in some weird kind of way - I AM the 90's, floating through my senses, soul and mind - and the electronic music tracks are some of the greatest! But still thank you very much for such listings.
