Most defining song of the 90s

Postby Jocabia » Sun Aug 31, 2014 9:27 am

What do you envision as the quintessential song of the 1990s? What's your favorite song from that era?

And since this is NSG, feel free to come up with a reason to argue about this.

Would this not belong in Arts & Fiction?

This should be in A&F.

I would pick a soundtrack from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.

It WAS the 1990s for me...

Pfff, then we might find common ground or have contentious arguments of a lighter nature that allows us to relate to each other on a more human level instead of being in a non-stop pit fight. Who'd want that?


Anyway, to answer the thread, while it isn't my favorite song, but clearly the defining song would be Smells Like Teen Spirit as it so clearly marked the divide between the dominant and cheesy rock of the previous decade and set the tone for rock scene of the 90s. Pop music pretty much clicked on unaffected and was a natural progression from New Kids on the Block to Boyz II Men etc. and then of course the Mickey Mouse Club vomiting forth pop stars.

Its interesting you picked the 1990s because I don't think I actually know a single hit from that era. I'm actually more able to name songs from the 1980s than the 1990s. You picked the one recent decade I'm most unfamiliar with.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme tune, obviously.

You have me on Facebook, right? This was my post...

Me: I have most of the music set up, but feel free to make some suggestions of some songs from the 80s and 90s.

And if you're going to suggest "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"... done and done.

Is it okay if I love you a little bit now?

CTOAN, you're suggestion was fantastic as well.

Here are some other:
Joy Ride
Christmas in Hollis
Under the Bridge
Now That We Found Love
Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

For 80's:
Definitely... Cult of Personality

That's just a few, but I think there are lots that we don't necessarily play anymore but they were pretty big at the time.
