Mine would honestly be close. Maybe exchanging the songs but Aphex Twin, Portishead, Massive Attack, Bjork, BOC, Pavement, Stereolab were all in heavy rotation in my early teens… hip hop would probably be missing… I got into it until the mid 00s and I realized I had been missing on some amazing albums.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 00:11 (two years ago) link
I’d very probably have some Sonic Youth, Modest Mouse, Garbage and maybe a track from OKC in my top 10 if you had asked me in 2000.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 00:46 (two years ago) link
I actually still have a cd that I used to burn for friends circa 1999/2000 with the following songs:
Aphex Twin - WindowlickerBonobo - The PlugMassive Attack - TeardropBjork - UnravelEverything but the girl - wrongCardigans - erase / rewindDepeche Mode - UselessBoards of Canada - In a beautiful place out in the countryStereolab - Miss ModularAmon Tobin - SlowlyHooverphonic - 2wickyGroove Armada - superstylinGeggy Tah - whoever you areLightning Seeds - you showed meAir - sexy boyCat Power - Cross bones style
I remember loving those and I still haven’t grown tired of most of them.

That wasn’t the actual sequencing btw I have to listen to it to post the correct one. I can even provide proof with the cd info on my computer.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 00:59 (two years ago) link
In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is my favorite Boards of Canada track but was released in 2000
my favorite 1990s, from what comes to mind

I have a more “alt rock” oriented one too but I don’t have a copy of that one nearby… it had fountains of wayne, smashing pumpkins, offspring, throwing muses, garbage, nine inch nails, radiohead, luscious jackson, pixies and mano negra top of my head.

― Dan S,
I know! It’s mine too. Was recollecting from a burnt cd from my early teens with mostly music from the 90’s… there were 2000 maybe even 2001 songs in there.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 01:07 (two years ago) link
this is the Tricky Christiansands you all should hear

― Dan S, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 01:16 (two years ago) link
Love love love Christiansands btw, I’d probably pick that one after Poems as my favorite song of his.
Fuck and Run also my favorite Liz Phair song, everyone goes with Divorce Song usually in these sort of lists but it’s a lesser song.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 01:18 (two years ago) link

Some great music on this thread! I could definitely see myself popping back on here to revise a few of these. Some of them were impulsive decisions; others would be on any top ten list.

I’ve decided the 90’s is a fucking weird decade for me. I’ll never be able to make a top 10 I’m satisfied with this decade. Gimme any other decade and I can easily enlist a top 20 that I feel satisfied with… not this decade though.
I have trouble separating what I actually listened to in the 90’s from the good stuff I found about later as an adult. There’s also stuff which keeps being pushed as “best of the 90’s” which I just can’t hear anymore no matter how good they might be (eg: Nirvana’s Nevermind and to a certain degree OK Computer), stuff which I loved as a child in the 90’s and I still think it’s funny but I find too immature nowadays to truly enjoy (eg: cafe tacvba, blink 182, hombres g), and cheesy dance tracks like say Scatman, Another Night, Believe, Better Off Alone, Rhythm of the Night…which immediatly make me smile if I overhear them somewhere but would probably never consider seriously in a top 10.
I went from being 5 to 15 years old in that decade. There’s too much going on in those years, it feels like 3 or even 4 different eras in time for me. Idk.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 03:30 (two years ago) link
I agree. There was just so much going on. Even coming up with the ten I did, I left out some of my favorite genres let alone albums. The 90s sucked in a lot of ways looking back, but sometimes I feel like the 00's and even early 10s were a continuation of a 90s explosion (that started in the late 80s). I'm biased, though, being as I turned 17 in '90, and I guess everybody overvalues the music they listened to in those years.
That said, it'd be just as difficult coming up with the ten worst songs of the 90s.
― beard papa, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 04:07 (two years ago) link
Ya totally relate to that too, Moka

i gotta new age girlTELL US WHAT SHE'S LIIIIIKE
Lol just to prove it further, I was wondering what a worst songs of the 90’s list might look like and I got this:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/whats-the-worst-song-from-the-90s
I actually like several of these! Actually with the exception of that Creed song which I do find terrible I think most of these are fun and some are even great. No way is Snow - Informer one of the worst songs of the decade, that song is awesome.
If I were to make such a list I guess something like Creed and Puddle of Mudd would make the cut.

that Joey Lawrence song actually legit rules
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 04:50 (two years ago) link
But yeah my point is I can’t honestly hear what’s so goddamn awful about most of those because I listened to them when I was way too young to care.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 04:50 (two years ago) link

Worst song of the 90s list would be the Aerosmith list above except maybe swap one of them with “Bugs” by Pearl Jam.
