THE SMASHING PUMPKINS - "Cherub Rock" (340 points, 20 votes, 1 first place vote)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000HNU.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
"I think I might have a totally different concept of 90s AOR than is being used here. Smashing Pumpkins would be the kings of the genre as I see it, with "Cherub Rock" probably being their best single."--sundar subramanian
"Makes me wanna fuck shit up. It brings up the violent side of me, that needs to be released once in a while, in order to be tamed. I am sometimes a difficult person to deal with, but, alas, it is just the demons trying to get out."--JP Almeida

UNDERWORLD - "Cowgirl" (342 points, 19 votes)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004Y1RR.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
"Isn't the way Underworld use vocals totally unique, I can't think of any band or any dance act who use vocals as a rhythmic part of the song, in something like Rez/Cowgirl the "everything everything everything everything" seems to make the track so absolutely mindblowingly essential and intense and yet later in the track the vocals become like an extra drum or beat or something (an eraser of love)"--Ronan

THE KLF - "Last Train To Trancentral" (343 points, 22 votes, 2 first place votes)
http://www.stars-on-7-inch.com/index_k/klf/last_train.jpg
"I think I was awestruck, or something close to it, when I first heard the KLF's "Last Train To Trancentral" on the radio - the idea at a young age that anyone in pop was this intelligent, and this gifted, and had this many ideas."-- Robin Carmody
"'Last Train to Trancentral' is, to me, the epitome of this method: it's just hook after hook after hook, with a bonkers half-time breakdown and, at the end when it appears no more can possibly happen, a cameo dalek voice chanting 'Mu Mu'. Pop genius."-- Ben Butler
"Oh, and "Last Train To Trancentral" being kept off Number 1 by Cher's "Shoop Shoop Song". Didn't piss me off so much back then, oddly; 10 years have clearly made me slowly more bitter."-- Robin Carmody

http://www.thefirstcut.net/porsou2.jpg
"Being a stubborn male I refused to ask for help at the music stores. It took me monthes to find this sucker in the dance section months after I first heard it on the radio while I was eating my wheaties."--zacko

MADONNA - "Vogue" (346 points, 22 votes)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000071TK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
"'Vogue' - narcissism as spirituality, hollywoodism as religion, star-worship as self-love, and a groove so deep that brown or yellow people didn't even mind being left out of that "doesn't matter if you're black or white" line."-- Vic

MOBB DEEP - "Shook Ones Pt. II" (347 points, 17 votes, 1 first place vote)
http://www.northood.com/mobbde4.jpg
"Shook Ones Pt II is just absolutely immortal - a very strong argument for you to procure the Infamous all on its own. "I'm only 19 but my mind is older" has always struck me as one of the coldest lines in any hip-hop song, but that whole track is just perfection." -- M Carty

So I guess this means that no rave or jungle made it on the list. That's too bad.

i'm sure SOME rave/jungle will make it, but probably not what i voted for.

Eight of mine have appeared so far, including three of my top ten. I guessed that between 18-21 songs on my list would end up in the final 100 so things are basically on schedule.
More than ever, I'm getting the feeling that Pulp dominated this poll.
