They should have put the song Beautiful Stranger on here instead.

20.MMMBop by Hanson
A friend of mine got to interview them once on his radio show in Stillwater, OK.

21.My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
I have issues both good and bad with this song!
Good issue: Great song. I am a close closet-Celine Dion fan.
Bad issue: I was literally probably the only person on earth that wasn't allowed by my mom to see Titanic. (2 words: nude scene)

30.Tearin' Up My Heart by *NSYNC
I actually liked them when they 1st came out.

31. Creep by Radiohead

32. No Diggity by BLACKstreet

33.Wannabe by Spice Girls
This one time, I went to a Point of Grace concert and they did a cover of Spice Up Your Life.....complete with Heather Payne as Sporty Spice. GIRL POWER!

34.Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
I don't like this song.

35. Wonderwall by Oasis

36. Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) by C+C Music Factory

37. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

38.Genie In A Bottle by Christina Aguilera
Wasn't a big fan of hers at all. That is, until she came out with the song Ain't No Other Man. She has awesome vocals!

39.Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Beautiful song from the movie City of Angels. By the way, I would totally date the lead singer, Johnny Reznick because he is HOT!

40. I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd

41.Two Princes by Spin Doctors
Great song.

42.Shine by Collective Soul
Instead of this song, they should have put Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon. But that song has personal sentiment for me because it reminds me of a glimmer of hope before a huge downfall that I had in 2007. I heard a band perform this song at a church talent show that I was in. (I sang Beauty And The Beast.)

43.My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue
Every single time I hear this song, I must think of my friend Megan Galbraith and her absolute craziness on a car trip to Austin. She played this song LOUDLY and I LOVED IT!

44.Killing Me Softly With His Song by The Fugees

45.Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie & the Blowfish
Not a bad song! I should download this song!

46.You're Still the One by Shania Twain
I used to love country music a lot when I was a child. Shania Twain was like the hugest thing in the '90s for country music. This was the slowdance song for pretty much anyone in junior high in the late '90s.

47.Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch
Now that I hear this song, I think of my friend Shannon. Shannon is a person that is older than me by at least 10-15 years. Anyways, I was at a church retreat and she somehow mentioned this song, thinking that most of us 20 year olds would not know this song. I think she might be wrong:-)

48.3 Am by Matchbox Twenty
I got sick of Matchbox Twenty. Enough said!

49.Who Will Save Your Soul by Jewel
The thing that stands out the most is when Helen Hunt impersonated Jewel on SNL singing this song over and over again while snowed in in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

50.Man in the Box by Alice in Chains
Great guitar intro! Layne Stayle was a great rock vocalist.

51. California Love by Tupac (featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman)

52.Fly by Sugar Ray
To me, Sugar Ray (at least their lead vocalist, Mark McGrath) reminds me of this kid I went to junior highschool named Evan McCord. He was definetly a ladies man.

53. O.P.P by .Naughty by Nature

54.One of Us by Joan Osborne
This song raised a lot of stuff. I don't know what to think of this song. But it does make me ponder a bit. What would Jesus look like today? However, I still believe that He loves everyone.

55. Criminal by Fiona Apple

56.Mama Said Knock You Out by L.L. Cool J
I like LL Cool J. He's cute.

57.Can I Get A... Jay-Z featuring Amil and Ja Rule
ICK!

58. Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie B. Hawkins
ICK!

59.Buddy Holly by Weezer
Yeah baby! This is an awesome song! The video is even better with the whole Happy Days theme. Absolute geniuses. My question is why did they have to break up after the song Beverly Hills? They are the absolute nerd-cool band for people like me!

60.Poison by Bell Biv DeVoe
Once again, music that degrades women sexually is absolutely no good.

61. All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow
This song is an absolute classic. Sheryl has an absolutely great voice. This song is almost like the anthem of losers like me.

62. I Alone by Live
This is a good song. Very much Metallica with more emo. It sounds like Switchfoot on a lot of testosterone.

63. Mo Money Mo Problems The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Mase & Puff Daddy
ICK!

64. Peaches by The Presidents of the United States of America
Funny song!

65.The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground
I'm with a friend of mine named Steven Lachin on this one: I hate rap music that has no message other than party and/or sex.

66. I'll Be by Edwin McCain
Beautiful song.

67. Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite
Very catchy song. However a very bizzare video.

68.Gettin' Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith
Will Smith was awesome when he teamed up with DJ Jazzy Jeff, and was great as the Fresh Prince of Bellaire. This song just doesn't do it for me. It sucks!

69. Freak on a Leash by Korn

70. Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai

71.Tennessee by Arrested Development
This just goes to show you that rap music wasn't always about being a pimp or killing others. Nice refresher guys!

72.One Week by Barenaked Ladies
“Its been/ one week since you looked at me/ dropped your eyes to the side and said 'I'm sorry/5 days since you laughed at me and said 'let's get back together/ come back and see me.'” Awesomeness.

73.Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
I must admit, I like this song. Very sinister – sounding.

74.Believe by Cher
Unfortunately, I still have this album. Anyone want to buy it from me?

75.Jump by Kris Kross
Note to any man that potentially has a crush on me:if you say 'I wanna be your mac daddy' I probably will laugh at you very hysterically and give you the rejection hotline number.

76. Run-Around by Blues Traveler

77. It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube

78.Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
Lenny Kravitz is like Prince and Hendrix. Prince's funk stuff + Hendrix guitar riffs = awesomeness.

79. Bitch by Meredith Brooks

80. I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred

81. I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole

82. Mind Playing Tricks on Me by Geto Boys

83. Cannonball by The Breeders

84.Informer by Snow
This is just a bad bad bad bad song. I'm sorry but this song makes absolutely no sense to me – literally.


85. Insane In The Brain by Cypress Hill

86.Linger by The Cranberries
This is a very beautiful song!

87.Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus
Is it just me or was everyone

88. Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik

89. Never Said by Liz Phair

90.You Get What You Give by New Radicals
This song is like a song of backwards hope: it insults Hanson, Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson yet says “don't give up.” Go figure.

91.Building a Mystery by Sarah McLachlan
The song from Sarah that they should have picked is Angel. That one is better!

92. 911 Is A Joke by Public Enemy

93.Stay by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories
Great artist, but they should have picked Alone instead!

94. The Way by Fastball

95.This is How We Do It by Montell Jordan
I keep wanting to download this song.

96. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection by Nelson

97.Get Off by Prince & The New Power Generation
Most Christians hate Prince, but I like some of his stuff. I don't know if I like this one because I haven't heard it.

98.Unbelievable by EMF

99.The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott
Not a real big rap fan.

100. Rico Suave by Gerardo
Personally, I think this song is just bad. It makes me wanna go deaf!

1) Cat Dog (nickeoldeon cartoon) - What kind of drugs were these people who made this show on?! WORST CARTOON EVER!

2) Barbie Girl- Bad song, ick! Enough said.

3) Crystal Pepsi - We can save the world just by drinking this unoriginal sugar water drink.

4) Gangsta rap - It was all that seemed to be played during the 90's. This just rang in the death of rock and roll.

5) All the Scream movies - 1 word: LAME! You already know who's the killer!

6) Friends - Seinfeld was waay funnier! That and I sorta got made fun of because I didn't watch Friends.

7) Bill Clinton and his wife - He lied to her about an affair, then to the American public under oath. If I were to lie under oath, I would be in prison. He should be no different.

8) Mtv no longer playing music videos - Instead, music television gives us a new thing called "Reality tv." Mtv no longer goes by the mantra of look at them yo-yos/ that's the way they do it/ they play that guitar on the Mtv - Dire Straits (Money For Nothing)

9) Dawson's Creek - James Van Der Beek was annoying, nor was he my "ideal man." He reminded me of the bad popular jock at school who would basically get away with any and everything.

10) Reality tv - At 1st, watching shows like Survivor was alot like watching rats in a controlled environment. But now it has gotten old because we all know that the rats eventually get out of the cage.

top 20 reasons the 90's rocked!

1) Playstation! - CRASH BANDICOOT WAS THE BEST!

2) Seinfeld - Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are the best and funniest New Yorkers ever!

3) 10 Things I Hate About You- Best teen movie from the 90's. RIP Heath Ledger.
Best quote from the movie:
Cameron: And, um, and here's another problem. Bianca said that Kat likes pretty guys.
Patrick: [looks confused and slowly rises] Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?
Michael: H-He's very pretty. He's a gorgeous guy.
Cameron: Yeah. I-I just wasn't sure. I didn't know.
Michael: [gives him two thumbs up] You're a gorgeous guy.

4) Mariah Carey - She was a great singer until she started collaborating with rappers.

5) Rugrats

6) Nickelodeon - now it sucks!

7) Toy Story - best disney pixar movie of the 90's!

8) Tony Hawk! - I'm not a real big fan of sports, but I love Tony Hawk and skaters! He also diefied gravity, which is awesome.

9) Forrest Gump - This was by far the best Tom Hanks movie ever made next to Splash and A League of Their Own. Tom Hanks plays a man named Forrest Gump who experiences history events from Vietnam to the Aids crisis of the 1980's.

10) A League of their Own -
This is one of the best baseball movies ever. Forget Bull Durham and all its one-liners, this movie can be best summed up by stating There's no crying in baseball!

11) Amy Grant - Arguably the best Christian crossover artist of the 90's. You must give the woman credit: the woman is a gifted songwriter overall. She has more songs than just Baby Baby and Every Heartbeat.

12) Green Day - One of the greatest bands to ever bring punk rock back into the spotlight.

13) My Best Friend's Wedding -
Julia Roberts was at the top of her comedic game when she made this original movie!










14) The Fresh Prince of Bellaire (tv show) - I still watch this show and laugh to kingdom come!

15) Home Alone - The movie that catapulted McCauley Culkin to stardom and had kids screaming for absolutely no reason! An absolute holiday classic!

16) The Internet - Otherwise, this website would not exist!

17) Hope Floats - After this movie, I wanted to marry Harry Connick Jr. He is one sexy man.

18) The Silence of the Lambs - This was one freaky movie that was made well. It wasn't made like your average slasher movie where everyone screams and dies. This one played with your mind alot!

19) Beauty and the Beast - Best Disney princess movie ever. The song and the groundbreaking computer graphics don't need an explanation.

20) Back pack purses - I had one. It had fishes on it
