I listened to some Podcast once that was actually about this topic. There were 3 panelists and each one made their top 5 90's songs.

Song 2 by Blur was the consensus pick.


I could be convinced of this argument... a 90's Britpop band's attempt at 90's American indie rock...

It's got to be Aqua - Barbie Girl

Actually I've changed my mind. The most 90s song ever recorded is the first song on Jock Jams Vol 1 - 2 Unlimited - Get Ready 4 This (Michael Buffer Remix)

"Two Princes" is a great pick.

And to those defending the rapping in "Down"... come on. I like the song too, but it's comical how bad the rapping is. "Have you ever made out in dark hallwaaaaaays? DisPLAYED a KISS that MADE your DAY? Or say, played a TRACK from your REcord coLLEC-SHUN? It's your mix, conGRAtuLAtions!" What in the frick is he babbling on about?

The first few songs that I thought of have all been mentioned, and I agree with almost every song mentioned in this thread.

I'll go ahead and add one that hasn't been mentioned....

Many good suggestions already listed...That 4 Non-Blondes song "What's Up" reminds me of the 90s. A one-hit wonder that was all over the radio.

although the list wasn't mine, ill try to defend the poster.

smells like teen spirit is absolutely the most iconic grunge song of all time, and grunge music was the sound of the early 90s, however, when I think 90s, I think of pop-rock (such as most of the tracks mentioned here), or the crossover rap/rock that was prevalent in the later portion of the decade. Further, I think certain pop music has a distinctly 90s sound.... whereas grunge is rock music that could have been made in any decade.

My personal image of this goes to the songs that signal the death of the alt-rock movement. My interest in the better songs of the early 90s is really an extension of the 80s in that the movement was basically the payoff from the previous ten years of underground music. The '91-'92 explosion was more or less very art-intensive musicians getting better at what they were doing, gearing it toward wider appeal and never figuring that appeal could ever go full-on mainstream.

Once the REAL artists established that new trend, less artistic opportunists came on the scene, went for full-on surface appeal, and destroyed the movement. Most of the 90s was occupied by these dillettante bands riding the gravy train out till there was nothing left.

For every "Teen Spirit" there are ten songs like "Cumbersome" or "Shine" or "Hold My Hand" which was the REAL sound that saturated the 90s. The sound of a vital music movement going moribund.
