Subject: Ten Most Important '90s Songs

Written By: velvetoneo on 06/13/06 at 4:13 pm

1. "Gonna Make You Sweat"-C+C Music Factory (most important non-rock song of the '90s, IMO)
2. "I Will Always Love You"-Whitney Houston (established '90s vocal pop standard)
3. "Wannabe"-The Spice Girls (started the teen pop explosion)
4. "Baby One More Time"-Britney Spears (arguably started some '00s-like songs, with that infamous hook.)
5. "Smells Like Teen Spirit"-Nirvana (most important '90s rock song)
6. "Fight the Power"-Public Enemy (first gangstaish '90s hit)
7. "Silent All These Years"-Tori Amos (every female singer-songwriter followed in her footsteps)

Will finish later.

"Fight the Power" is actually from 1988 or 1989, but Public Enemy are very '90s.

I think it might be from 1989, but Fear of a Black Planet is from 1990. What do you think of the rest of the selections?

I think they're good. Alanis Morissette has to be included in there somewhere, she is so '90s.

Nuthin' But a "G" Thang is easily the definitive hip hop song of the 90s......Public Enemy were a product of the 80s if anything else
