Michael Jackson's Black or White isn't top 10? Invalid list, IIRC wasn't that the highest-rated music video premiere in history? and the song was no. 1 across the board, these lists make zero sense sometimes.

That's a terrible list. Iconic for whom?

Lists are always funny. I'll give them teen spirit. But how is Enter Sandman not on that list?

I mean if it wasn't for her being on SNL would anyone really give this song a second thought?

While I'm not a fan of most of the list, I can see it as a fitting list for "iconic". All of these songs were big in the 1990s in some regard. Not that I think they should have been.

It was pretty daggum popular song but it seems it should be labeled as a more iconic video than just the song.

But looking at the list, how did Mmmm Bop, Macarena, or Achy Breaky Heart not make the list?

Most of those are terrible songs, but they were all very popular at their height. Iconic is not the word I'd apply to most of them though.
