Instead of trekking through various hit-or-miss Spotify playlists, I thought it would be cool to listen to whatever everyone here is listening to  :D

Rules:
1) Recommend up to 3 songs only per post. Nobody got time for 200 songs.
2) If you're going to link to YouTube, please just link the URL. Loading too many embedded videos can crash slower computers.

I'll go first. Some '90s rock classics.

Fastball - The Way (1998)
Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy (1992)
Jimmy Eat World - In The Same Room (1996) -- there's no YouTube link. Get a Godify account already, fools! /stealth shilling.

The Verve Pipe - The Freshman (1997)
Tonic - If you could only see (1996)
Vertical Horizon - Everything you want (1999)

Excellent choices, Jessica!  :D  That Tonic song is going to get a lot of plays from me.  ;D Can't wait to see more recommendations from you, I like your taste. O0

Trying to think of a good reply for ya, lol. But I can't  ;D

How about some more recommendations?  ;) ;D

I could just easily list three Nirvana songs or something, but everybody would already know them, so where would the fun in that be? ;) Instead, I decided to go off the beaten path a little bit. I consider these to be three of my favorite "forgotten" '90s gems.

Toad the Wet Sproket - Good Intentions (1995)
Lush - Ladykillers (1996)
The Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her (1996)

Alive - Pearl Jam (1991)
Glycerine - Bush (1995)
Calypso - Spiderbait (1996)

The Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her (1996)


Yooo that Toad The Wet Sprocket MV felt like an acid trip.  :o ;D Dope songs though! Especially Ladykillers.

The Beautiful South song sounded like a nursery song, and I thought she said "Don't marry her, but me" until i gave it another listen and realized it's "Don't marry her, f*ck me" and the meaning completely changed. And that is how 90s childhoods come to an end.

Alive - Pearl Jam (1991)
Glycerine - Bush (1995)
Calypso - Spiderbait (1996)


😱 this is my first time hearing of Bush. What kind of epic band... I love it! Great choices!

Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden
Adina Howard- Freak Like Me
Los Del Rio- Macarena

Everybody always mistakes the lyrics to that song the first time they hear it, including me. And, likewise, everybody is equally surprised when they find out what she's really saying. Also, I always found it fascinating that a song which is essentially about a man abandoning his family and running off with another woman would have such a fun, poppy sound to it. ;D

Anyways, here's three more "lesser known" '90s songs I really like.

Guided By Voices - Teenage FBI (1999)
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend (1991)
Lagwagon - Know it All (1994)

Man, I love '90s rock. I could keep this going all day! 8)

Third Eye Blind - Semi charmed life
Oasis - Wonderwall
Alanis Morissette - Ironic

Alkaline Trio - Goodbye Forever (1999)
Live - Lightning Crashes (1994)
The Ataris - Clara (1997)

Live - Lightning Crashes (1994)


Good suggestion. :) Personally, "Lakini's Juice" is my favourite Live song.


😱 this is my first time hearing of Bush. What kind of epic band... I love it! Great choices!


Thanks! :) Bush are an English band, if i'm not mistaken.

Blue Savannah - Erasure (1990)
Hazard - Richard Marx (1992)
Regret - New Order (1993)

Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden
Adina Howard- Freak Like Me
Los Del Rio- Macarena


The Adina Howard song is new to me. Great choices! The Macarena is the first song I recall ever hearing ;D

I completely forgot about this thread  :-[ :-[

I've added the 33 songs to a playlist. Here I go!


I assume your playlist is a bit bigger now, Slowpoke? :P

Here's my first one, an essential classic.

Smash Mouth - All Star
L_jWHffIx5E

I'm aware this song is a meme, but I'm surprised the music video isn't a meme. It's so stupid, yet so awesome! I mean, how can you not like Steve Harwell walking around California pretending to be a superhero saving people? And all those iMovie filters and effect? And the opening scene with the superhero auditions (with guest appearances from Ben Stiller and Dane Cook)? And a boy holding up an L on his forehead when the song's lyrics clearly say "In the shape of an L on HER forehead"? And that scene where the car gets destroyed in the parking garage while the band dances along joyously, a stark contrast in tone?

A lot to love in this music video.

California Love
Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love
Lauryn Hill - That Thing

Dog, would you concur with me that the All Star music video is a masterpiece?

While I haven't seen the video itself, I can tell it's pretty good ;) ;D

Watch it now! If you haven't seen it, you're really missing out.

Seen it. I knew it would be hilarious. ;D

Everyone hates Smash Mouth but I think they had some good, albeit very campy, tunes.

Apparently Steve Harwell is a jerk to his fans, though.

Alright here's two other 90s songs.

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
3mbBbFH9fAg

Duran Duran - Ordinary World

I've made a thread about this song before, about how it's the last 80s-sounding song before 80s production styles fully died out. This is an epic and atmospheric song and it even managed to win over people who hated Duran Duran's 80s tunes.

dDLiVwpv89s

Zelek3 took one of my recommendations, (Ordinary World by Duran Duran). Excellent song by the way.

My other two recommendations are Six Underground by Sneaker Pimps and Silent Lucidity by Queensryche.

Here's More

Love Like This - Faith Evans
Gettin Jiggy With it - Will Smith
Smooth - Santana
