90's Mixed Tape - 25 songs

What would you put on a quintessential 90's Mix Tape of 25 songs?

The numbering isn't a top 25 ranking, or the order they'd be on the tape, the numbering is just to keep count.

Background INFO- I initially posted the first five, the rest came from suggestions in this thread to fill it out to 25.



The 25 has been rounded out. Now is the argument phase. Remove X song replace with Y.

I'll update this list with entries I agree with.
