Psh, what a farce tubthumping, i'm too sexy, MMMbop and Barbie Girl are possibly some of the better songs of the 90s. Next thing you know some persnickety musicophile is going to tell me that Ace of Base and Labouche were crappy euro pop bands.

I put spaces in the link since I can't post links.

 

Ace of Base!?

(goes to YouTube)

Sweet sweetness.

 

I had a crush on the lead singer of Hanson. She was pretty.

Who Let the Dogs Out is not only one of the worst songs of the 90's, it could possibly be the worst song EVER. The problem with half of the songs listed is they're so damn catchy and earworm-y.

I hated MMMBop when it was new, but it came on the radio not long ago and I found myself singing along in a nostalgia filled haze. I have fond memories associated with TubThumping and I'm Too Sexy, so I just can't hate them.

I have What's Up on my MP3 player.

 

Brings to mind the T-shirt hell offering they used to have - "I fucked the girl in Hanson"

 

This list is missing Sweat (A La La La La Long) by Inner Circle. Though I'm not sure if this was as popular in the US as it was in the rest of the world...

 

This.

Also, "Show Me Love" is high on my list of least favorite 90's songs, as Robin S.'s voice absolutely grates on my nerves.


Maybe autotune could have helped her out.

Oh, and this one:


Ugh.

 

Did anything good happen in the 90's? Honestly?


*zips up flame suit*

 

Ever since their 100 Greatest Guitarists list that put Jack White at #17, I've assumed that Rolling Stone lists are an inside joke that I'm not in on.

 

Top 10 lists are linkbait. It doesn't really matter what they put on the lists, no matter how much effort they put into it people will disagree. So, it's easier to just be highly opinionated, then people will object and link to the post, and your ad count skyrockets.

 

I liked that one Jesus Jones song...and those two Extreme songs. About it.

 

I like "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine but Sarah Brightman does a much better job of it in Italian "Il Mio Cuore Va"

I usually have a playlist in a Foobar2000 tab with four Sarah Brightman albums in it.

 

Music-wise I somehow skipped the whole 90's. Started dating, hubby is no music listener - got kids and played their type of music. I'm only now finding Robbie Williams...

Put Take That on this list, because I had no idea, what was going on there at the time.

 

Apparently, no one cool (or even musically literate) reads Rolling Stone anymore. My two votes for the worst songs of the 90s:





I admit, the second one DOES make me all nostalgic...but it's still a terrible song. The first one, I could only listen to the first few notes to make sure it was the correct one. WORST SONG EVER.

Edit-- I could probably also make an argument for several Nirvana songs, but no one would listen. I'm apparently the only 90s kid who didn't like Nirvana. Hmm.

 

I took the 90s off. Seems I didn't miss much.
