Subject: Favorite '90's Compilation CDs
Written By: woops on 07/19/07 at 5:28 pm
I know there's some '90's compilation CDs...
"Frequency 99: Greatest Hits of the 1990's " (1999)... 30 chart topping hits, mostly from the early/mid 1990's, from Paula Abdul, Arrested Development, Maxi Priest, MC Hammer, UB40, The Divinyls, and others.
"Pure '90's (2001)... 18 modern rock hits, mostly popular hits from Presidents of the United States of America, EMF, Soupdragons, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Cracker, to name a few. Many 2/3 hit wonders. There's similar compilations like "Non Stop '90's Rock" and "The Buzz".
"90s Pop Hits" (2002)... another set of '90's pop songs from mostly two hit wonders and a few '80's artists that had hits in the decade like New Kids On The Block, General Public, and Cover Girls. Though the later part of the decade is included with Will Smith, Lauryn Hill, and Mandy Moore.
"MTV 120 Minutes Live" (1998), a long out of print CD featuring performances from the now defunct alternative video showcase "MTV 120 Minutes", which featured bands that aren't widley known in the mainstream like The Smiths to Bjork. The CD features PJ Harvey, They Might Be Giants, Weezer, Violent Femmes, Radiohead, and others. I also have one of the two volumes of a similar CD from the early 1990's with alternative bands from the 1980's.

Yeah Frequency '99 is good, I have that one. Basically anything either from Time Life (and anything off TV) or that was made in the actual '90s is usually better than the standard ones they throw together after the fact.
There's another 2-disc one I have called Living In the '90s. There were advertizements on TV for it c. 1995 that I still actually have on tape. It has lots of early decade stuff, many of which are either '80s holdovers or more commercial pop.

Ah! R.T.Z.! :) I take it you know it's short for Return to Zero?
They've created one of my favourite tracks of all time: Dance Your A** Off.
It is to be found on "Turn Up The Bass (Volume 17)" - just one CD in a series of 25 that happens to be my favorite series of 1990s compilation CDs (although it also covers late 1980s and early 2000s).
