Brings me memories too. great hub.
Thank you
There are a lot of memories. A few I have not heard of. Thank you
I totally agree that MTV has gone way over the top with Reality TV..don't get me wrong i love reality TV but not on a station which is supposed to be dedicated to music!! Grrr
Great HUB !
regards Zsuzsy
Umm where is Common- I used to love H.E.R?? One love by Nas? Crossroads by Bone thugs n harmony?? runnin by Pharcyde? Juicy by Biggie? dear momma by Tupac?? why is nothing but a G thang so high?? its not even 20 in best rap songs ever...
Great tunes. I agree that MTV has gotten too far away from music and more into reality. Miss the old days.
A nice stroll down memory lane. Thanks
Wow. I love looking at the list, but as always, wonder at some of the rankings. How did "I want it that way" by Backstreet Boys beat out some of those in the lower 50's? They must have done it by radio plays or something. Oh well, at least Britney can be proud she got in the top 10.
Is it just me, or did they stop making good music when the 90s ended? Long live the 90s! :)
I completely agree! :)
Great Hub!
i miss when vh1 and MTV actually played video's. especially head bangers ball
Awesome hub! I missed it on TV, but reading through the list definitely brought back some memories. It's just funny when you read through it that there are songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Loser" (two of my all-time favorites) on the same list as MMMBop and Ice Ice Baby. LOL. It's a diverse list :)
very cool
Yes it is always relaxing to listen these GREAT bands forever....poseidon
great list of songs, brings back memories of the good old days.
Cool list - but how do you tell the difference between 85 and 75. Aren't these ratings totally subjective?
This is the perfect application for tivo.. Record it all, fast foward through the commercials and you can get through all 100 in less than 2 hours...
this list sucks. VH1 sucks. these guys promote awful music. backstreet boys on 3rd place. I think it shows how bad the list and the people in VH1 are.
This list was a load of rubbish and proof that MTV and VH1 just ruins what is good about music. How did Nsnyc beat Radiohead?? Where's Pulp, Blur, The La's, Stone Roses, Placebo ETC? Why is wonderwall so far up the list and don't look back in anger not even on there for Oasis??This list is utter shite. Fact. Only about 5 of the songs on it deserve to be on the list. This compliation is so shameful, the 90's was an excellent decade for music, on of the best and yet some idiots who apparently know so much about 'great' music comes up with this. I mean backstreet boys THIRD?? They were CRAP, their songs were for 8 year olds. How anyone can think this legitimate or correct is beyond me.
I just love this list. Man have I got some shopping to do. Thank you. Mon.
I think I saw this. Never agreed with Backstreet Boys being at #3 though.
Nirvan is one of my favorites..
Jabari and josie know what's up.
The list is total BS. I would rather hear what 100 songs the thinking public likes.
Zombie Pop Culture!
ah........the 90's. Better than today's music in my opinion.
i was born in the 90s great stufffff.
Hey, thanks for taking us down memory lane!
nuthin but a g thang is one of the few rap songs i actually like. It deserved to be this high on this list.
A perfect score of 100 congratulations rb! I hated VH-1's list but I love your hub and furthermore would love to see YOUR favorite 100 or even 50 songs!
Show me what ya got!
You are so much more interesting than VH-1!
ahhhh I don't know about 100 songs, I could maybe do 25 along the lines of alternative rock.... or 10 best videos.. hmm...
Well I have to choose (from the list) Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge"... I still often ear it. Great hub!
That was something for me. Thanks for your list!
Pearl Jam was the best grunge band that came out of the 90s. I still dig their music.
It should've been called "VH1's 100 most popular songs of the 90's" MMMBop a GREAT song? Uhhh...
Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the best....i love it...
where are the wallflowers - one headlight?
... and what about duran duran? brandy & monica?
How do you have a list of VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 90s and do not include a group like Boyz II Men, but you put En Vogue on there. End of the Road, I'll Make to You, or Motownphilly. This list is flawed. That's such an insult.
SMASHING PUMPKINS anyone? Come on. The bigest and best band of the era couldn't land with "1979", "Mayonnaise", or "Disarm". And no Boyz II Men is a damn shame too. This list is a grave error.
i just want everyone to know that vh1 didnt make up this list.. people voted on it. so how about everyone stop blaming vh1 for coming up with a bad list!! if you dont like it then you should have voted for it yourself
Don't forget about the Stone Temple Pilots. Come on! They were awesome! Something like "Plush" would have been good.
cher has the most sucesufull song 20 million copies of belive is sold and she made a new style in pop music with vokoder efect....and onlly on 75 in list...its a shame
o god thats a great list im a big 90s fan too i hav like all of them but i think slide by goo goo dolls is easly the best and its not in there haha good hub
omg this song is like my itunes n the ones i dnt have that are on this list i want right now!! great list great thought process also i agree with me mate joeseph weres slide best song. also were eagle eye cherry save tonight greatest song EVER
I Should have came in first
the list was real good... lots of good memories...
but what about CRASH INTO ME? -dave matthews band... or ALL FOR YOU - sister hazel!
ah! && i agree save tonight needed to be on there too.. & some boys II men
No Tool? How can there be no Tool?
Nirvana made it high soo yeah boy and backstreet homos suck and alice in chains should have been higher and yeah smashing pumpkins at least today would have been good and i wish Dead and bloated would have made it
I can not believe there is no Aerosmith songs??????'
Crazy and Crayin'..............................................
whats the song on here about the couple that runs away???
I still can't believe that Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" didn't make the list. Not only should it have been included, but it would have made my top 20. That song is quintessential 90's! And no "Crash" by DMB?
Closer from Nine Inch Nails didn't make the list?
This list fails.
These songs for the most part ARE the growing pains of my early adult life... but alot and I do mean alot are just plain Jane pop culture. There are some true geniouses though.
what about Aerosmith's Crazy, Cryin' and Amazing??? When I think of the 90's that's all that comes to my mind
hanson "mmmbop"? You're kidding, right?
NO Smashing Pumpkins?! WTF? Jewel sounds like a cow in a blender. Remember when that moron got clowned by Kurt Loder? HAHA, idiot.
Smashing Pumpkins are infinitely better than half this list.
How do you have a top 90's list with no boyz II men? not ONE Nas song? illmatic? this list is flawed big time
How the hell does JEFF BUCKLEY not make this list. I am fine with most the list but how can he not make it. "Hallelujah", "Lover You Should Have Come Over", "Last Goodbye", any one of those
yogbgbgtgrfgvgrfgv
where is guns n roses?
fuckin vh1
the thing about an online poll seems a little hard to believe to me... It weird songs like Living La Vida Loca> and Wonderwall were ranked so low on the list, while it's surprising that many forgotten artists like C+C music factory, Snow or some good but not so famous artists like Liz Phair, Dunkan Sheik or Marcy's playground did appear in a list that doesn't feature any Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, Foo fighters, STP, NIN, Dave Mathews Band, Blur, RATM, Offspring other things to mention about the list: 1.-they ranked "Time of your life" by Green day but they didn't rank "Basket Case" which is a much bigger hit2.-No songs by the Smashing Pumpkins, Foo fighters, STP, NIN, Dave Mathews Band were ranked3.-"You oughtta know" is my favourite Alanis M. song, but i thought "Ironic" was a much bigger hit. wasn't it?4.- What happend to songs like "Runaway Train" or "Plush" or "No Rain" "Song 2" or "prett Fly for a white guy?? ?? all of them were big?? weren't they?
That list is not good, how in the world it is possible that they do this countdown and do not include don´t speak- no doubt, i cannot believe it, and the backstreet boys on the 3??? there is Definitively somethin' wrong with that list
where is live forever and don't look back in anger by Oasis?in bloom nad come as you are by Nirvana?My iron lung,just,the bends,high and dry and paranoid android by Radiohead?i believe i can fly by R kelly?why is backstreet boys,britney spears and spice girls on the list?CRAP!!!
how dare VH1 left out TEARS IN HEAVEN by ERIC CLAPTON???where basket case by green day?
WTF? No NIN, no Smashing Pumpkins, no Guns N' Roses, no Basket Case, no Offspring and let's assume it: Limp Bizkit was big at the end of the 90's.
Living Colour? Nope.
Stone Temple Pilots? Nope.
Dude, this is like... the worst list ever.
This list really suck!!!
Vh1 you've done it again, ommitted most of the greatest bands singers and perfomers that really matter in time and put special attention on the billboards.
Congrats vh1!! ("music" channel my ass!!)
I've got a few questions for u all:
What about no mercy? what about Ace of Base? what about Reel 2 Real??
What about Gangsta Paradise from Coolio????
And what about the freekin Macarena from Los del Rio?????????????
I MEAN COME ON THIS LIST IS LACKING MOST OF THE 90's REALLY GOOD MUSIC
Dudes... what about "Bitter Sweet Symphony" The Verve?
i quite agree with this people about the list... its not that great'
80 out of 100 are pure rubbish... and they missed (besides Jeff Buckley, the Verve, Offspring and many others already pointed out) the greatest rock albums of the first nineties. REM (Losing my religion is NOT on the list???), Queen (almost the whole Innuendo album should be there) are totally ignored in favour of BACKSTREET BOYS?
Um...where is Savage Garden. They only had how many # ones?
This should be called most pop songs from the 90's, greatest?!?! how can it be the greatest songs from the 90's with no songs like "november rain" or "plush". hell guns and roses should have 5 songs on here, list is a joke, its for people who just listen to mainstream pop rock
hey where the hell is bittersweet symphony and they got thata shit of sinhead oconnor and how in jesus name wonderwall is so far from the first place it should be at least in top ten. and come on i dont want to miss a thing what the hell were they thinking.
1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins should be in that list...
where ?? nookie, no rain, today, vow, song 2
"Drax says:
4 weeks ago
WTF? No NIN, no Smashing Pumpkins, no Guns N' Roses, no Basket Case, no Offspring and let's assume it: Limp Bizkit was big at the end of the 90's.
Living Colour? Nope.
Stone Temple Pilots? Nope.
Dude, this is like... the worst list ever." Quote
totally agree with you! some good material are missing besides some of the songs in here were not so good
i agree that nirvana shoud have gotten number one!! (:
lol nirvana did get #1 i was born in the 90's and i love/know almost all the songs on there!! u go vh1!!!!! and i have some of the cd's well ok nsync chrisdtina agublahblAH and backstreet boys lol only 12 lol
lol nirvana did get #1 i was born in the 90's and i love/know almost all the songs on there!! u go vh1!!!!! and i have some of the cd's well ok nsync chrisdtina agublahblAH and backstreet boys lol only 12 lol
savage garden ???
don´t cry . guns ????
what´s up . 4 non blondes ????
Offspring ??? Limp Bizkit ??? blur??? Aerosmith ?????
I think that I owned every one of those CD at one time! I still have most of them.
WONDERWALL was placed on the 35th position??????????????? IT`S THE GREATES SONG OF THE 90th`s!
THIS LIST SUCKS
EXCELENTE!
Some good songs listed, but man they always leave off so much. They obviously completely ignored the entire shoegazer scene and didn't touch on Brit-pop at all save for Oasis. They always do that ...... for prove see the 80's list ... NOT ONE FUCKING SMITHS SONG, are you kidding me?!?!?!
How is there no limp bizkit?
Faith should of been on there right next to Freak on a leash by Korn. This list blows, many other artist are lacking.
Why no songs by the Cure? Lovesong? shiite!
ok say my name is a great song... but it didnt chart in the 90's!! it was RECORDED in 99' it charted in 2000!! sheesh thought it was the 90s not new millenium!!!
Where the hell is juicy by Biggy, November rain by GNR and Boz ll men end of the road. The backstreet boys at #3 seems off they didn't have the third best song of the 90's. And the biggest crime on this list wonderwall somehow got 35, it should drop 30 spots to number 5
great list, I love many of the songs that you've lsited
Normal list. But where's Bloodhound Gang - "Fire water burn" and Fun Lovin Criminals - "Scooby Snacks"?
might wanna calm down with ur language Jeriel YES!!! Im talking to you!!
The Backstreet Boys at Number??? Umm....That I do not get!!
Ummm... where are: "No Rain" by Blind Melon, "The Rockafela Skank" by Fat Boy Nookie" by Limp Bizkit, "Ants Marching" by DMB,
AND the BEST selling single EVER! which was NUMBER ONE on VH1's own "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders" list... "The Macarena"! These just popped to the top of my head.
love some...hate some, but all-in-all pretty cool
dibididipdibidibidibidabadabadaba!
I think they accidentally deleted their top 5: No Doubt "Don't Speak", Smashing Pumpkins "1979", Nine Inch Nails "Closer", Soul Asylum "Runaway Train", Boyz II Men "I'll Make Love To You"...
Where's Garth Brooks "Friends In Low Place"? That song changed country music. If Achy Breaky Heart made it, this songs should definitely be on the list.
your gonna sit there and tell me that iris from the goo goo dolls was not even on the list!!! are you out of your motha phuckin mind!!!
soooo they have en vogue but no rage against the machine. . . .i think that list list should take songs that are still incredibly popular into account liike creep by radiohead is insanely popular and its only 31?. . . .No Nine INch Nails? Rage against the machine? Shmashing Pumpkins? The offspring? cmon VH1!. . . .and why was "I alone" by Live on there and not "Lighning crashes" which if i can recall was a massive hit
Better list than that ridiculous 80s list. Houston doesn't belong here, certainly not above "Nothing Compares 2 U," which truly is one of the 10 best. Actually 1/2 of the Top 10 is legit, I'm not sure there was anything in the Top 10 on the 80s aside from "When Doves Cry" and "Bille Jean" that was even decent.
Obviously Celine, Mariah and VAnilla don't belong here either but at least a lot of these are indeed great.
Mariah Carey should have had at least 5 songs in there.
Always Be My Baby, Vision of Love, Emotions, Fantasy, One Sweet Day
Janet Jackson should have had 2 songs in there
Scream (With Michael Jackson), Thats the way Love goes
And I Will Always Love You should have been number one.

Everybody Dance Now
C+C Music Factory
some great songs listed here!! some fantastic memories of my childhood too, especially songs like 'Wonderwall' and 'Smells like Teen Spirit'. I think Backstreet Boys do deserve a place in the list, but with 'Backstreets Back' instead- what a tune!! Also, what about all the classic 90's dance tracks like 'No Limits' by 2Unlimited? Or 'Set you Free' by NTrance?
Ah nostalgia
WHY THE HELL IS JANET JACKSON NOT IN THERE???SHE'S THE SECOND MOST SUCCESFUL ARTIST OF THE 90'S NEXT TO MARIAH CAREY!!!
VH1 is trippin.. sublime were HUGE in the 90s... ridiculus
Why not November Rain of Guns N Roses? Is ridiculus..this song is the best of 90s and even stay in the top 10.
How "1979" by Smahsing Pumpkins was left off this list is beyond me. This list is horrible. "Wonderwall" should be much higher
Um...NIN please? Maybe The Perfect Drug, or at least Closer? Maybe I ran in weird circles, but I remember both of those videos being big and the songs were all over the radio.
there's not one single "No Doubt" song on this list, but somehow songs by britney, nsync, and backstreet boys make it on? .......
What are you smokin VH1?
I can understand a majority of the picks for this list, but I do have a question...no Garbage?? They had several killer singles out in the mid 90's and I believe they deserve a spot on the list
No Sublime??!?! wtf??
billc - lovesong was released in 1989.
cranberries - 'linger'
KD lang - 'constant craving'
Janet Jackson - 'thats the way love goes'
NIN - 'closer'
^should have all been on the list
oh 'linger' - is already there
my bad
Pearl Jam-Alive
Goo Goo Dolls- Black Balloon
Sublime- What I Got
where are all of these?
Come on, where's Seal? Kissed by a rose, Crazy?
You people do realize that this was voted on by the public eight?
umm i do believe "closing time" by semisonic should be top 40, let alone not even on the list! wonderwall deserves better than 35 say 10-20 range, sublime should be represented, and they give too much slack to crap bands that were on the radio. And even if it is the most annoying song of the 90's, Smash Mouths "All Star" should be on the list
oh and forgot. Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. Sure it was a cover of the 60's original, but for those who have heard it can agree that it deserves recognition
ok listen people voted for this on vh1's website.because most of those people don't have any musical taste what do you expect.even i would voted for would.fear of the dark,thunderstruck,hard as a rock,fuel,get a grip,sex type thing,hangar 18,sleep now in the fire,painkiller,and for many songs of the offspring
I was brought up on mostly 80s music. There are so very good songs though in the 90s. A lot of people were so into the Internet because it first came out in the mid 90s, that I think we missed a lot of the great songs.
how come all the small things isnt on the list, its way better than most of the songs on this list
i imagine i'd get stick for this, whilst i can't argue with the list, i do find it weird that michael jackson - in particular "black or white" isn't on here.
Okay wait, I didn't read all the comments but I did notice people complaining that certain songs didn't make it on the list but "they were top songs back then," or "this song wasn't at (whatever position) back then." You have to remember, people WENT ONLINE and VOTED for their favorite songs and whoever got whatever percentage of votes was put in that position. VH1 did nothing except calculate the list and air it.
I love how absolutely terrible this list is. And how totally predictable it is. Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears are both in the top ten. Enough said.
Well they forgot Queensryche "silent lucidity" it only won MTV's peoples choice award in 1991 beating out songs on this list
How did none of the songs from OK Computer make it on here? That album basically reinvented a genre. Or even The Bends...
90s were awesome
i wuz in high school when teen spirit wuz made. man everyone was crazy bout that song. just felt like yeterday class of 1991
what about a-ha or yes or aerosmith! WTF! todays society should burn with this rap shit
They should update the top 100 list and let us do the voting.
what about saved by the bell
brian wuz born 2001 he dont know shit
brian wuz born 2001 he dont know shit
brian sucks kara sucks korn
Iris by the goo goo dolls was 39?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
How did Dave Matthews Band not make the list. Along with Eric Clapton, Blind Mellon, and Smashing Pumpkins. What the hell really look at the billboard charts and redo the show more accurate. This is not a complete list VH1 you really suck.
Where the hell is G n R??
This is the most stupid list I have ever seen. Bone Thugs N Harmony is arguably the best Rap/Hip Hop group and their song "Tha Crossroads" released in 1996 was the fastest rising single in History and the group received a Grammy Award for the song. It just goes to show you how stupid VH1 is and everybody who works there. Fucking idiots

Also I forgot to mention BTH, they have to be on the list. Please fix it and do the show again.

where's Reel Big Fish?
AWESOME LIST I LOVED IT BUT WHERE WAS NO DOUBT AT I THINK THEY LEFT ONE OUT
where is INXS?
Kiss From a Rose by Seal should definitely be on there, and where is Selena?????
soul to squeeze? where the hell is that
whoever says this is a good list are out of there mind
they didnt put some of the biggest bands of the 90's
offsprings,smashing pumpkins, aerosmith made some hits in the 90's and so did metallica
what a terrible list
teen spirit is my favorite
i like most of the songs on here but where is TLC's "creep?"
this is where Toni Braxton? : @ I think the name of it ¬ ¬ '
good list but backstreet boys and NSYNC. cmon.....
It's an OK list, I love the 90's!!!
What an amazing decade!!!!!
no rage against the machine? the offspring? nine inch nails?
sos puro rap
No Marilyn Manson??
The people that commented are all ruh-tards (watch the hangover). Most of the comments go thusly, "wtf, where's <insert random song name>, etc." If they bothered to scroll up and down they would see there is barely any consistency in the songs that were supposedly left out. And theres like hundreds of songs to choose from. Did they stop to think the list can only be so long? Yeah some songs will get left out. The only thing that got left out with with any aggreable between post consistency was the verve's bittersweet symphony. Wow you turds agree on one song that got left out. One dude even said a song got left out that was ON THE FREAKING LIST. Please stop and think before you post your inane comments and do me a favor and stfu anyway just in case.
This has to be one of the worst lists I have seen in a long time.
What about Bush-Glycerine
only one biggie song? i could have sworn he was one of the greatest rappers in history
No Marilyn Manson? He was probably one of the BIGGEST spectacles of the 90's
My Own Worst Enemy? good song
I wish Blink-182 was on this list! Who doesn't love What's My Age Again?!
wheres stone temple pilots!!!
the list isnt all that bad. im sure they were only going with one song per band/singer and they were probably going with all around popularity with the masses. but the bloodhound gang's bad touch should have been on the list.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND TO "LOU BEGA MAMBO No5"
Yes, I have a definite problem with Smashing Pumpkins not even making this list. And Everlong also deserved to reach the list, and the patronising "at least it made #104" token clip was very undeserved. Time of Your Life is most definitely, in my opinion, a way better Green Day hit, but I assume people agreed with me, which is why Basket Case didn't make the cut? I also assume they preferred not to have more than one song by an artist on the list, because I would definitely have put Come as You Are and Rape Me on that list, to add to the Nirvana. The complete lack of the Offspring hits also irked me, as did the fact that an awesome song like Iris was beaten by Christina Aguilera. In a song that wanted you to "rub her the right way". Moreover, the fact that Guns N Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Aerosmith, Marilyn Manson, Placebo, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, etc didn't appear on the list makes me feel that they picked some Rock favourites, then totally ignored others of the genre.
And also-No Bjork. It's Oh So Quiet? Whaaat?
Finally: Sweet Dreams-Eurythmics. HOW DID THAT NOT MAKE IT ONTO THIS LIST?????
Whether it's VH1 or the voters who picked the songs isn't the problem. It's the total lack of representation this list provides. But who am I to say anything? I'm discovering these bands now, being about 6 when the nineties ended. And I can see a problem.
....dis is supposed 2 be da break out decde of hip-hop rising nd theirs is not alot of it........do"nt matter...also where is AALIYAH!!!!!!!????? Are you that somebody....One in a million.......two top songs

No Stone Temple Pilots? Aww. =(
That's disappointing... and The Offspring, either? Nine Inch Nails?
I wish both "Man in the Box", "Even Flow" and "Black Hole Sun" had been higher; those are amazing songs. And I'm really glad "Smells Like Teen Spirit" made it to the top. =D
-sigh- I still would have liked to see "Interstate Love Song", "Plush" or "Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart" on here, though! And "Closer", "Only" or "Head Like a Hole"... still good though.
i am a chinese ! it is great! we can share these wonderful song s together ! thanks internet!!!!!!
just an ok list ! what about semisonic and new radicals.( kgn- jamaica)
the list B.S.... right songs...incorrect order
i think ace of base belonged there

PEOPLE!! STOP BLAMING VH1 FOR THIS LIST! Vh1 put up 1000s of 90s songs up on there website and let the people of the public vote on the songs. So stop blaming vh1 and blame yourself for the list! And why bring MTV into the picture? That isnt even related you morons!! However, i do believe there is some faulties. Wonderwall needs top 10 material, and backstreet boys need to get into the 85-100 chunk of the list. However, i think the public got it right when they put smells like teen spirit as #1. I mean, come on. Nirvana is the king of 90s music. And, it put Washington (my home state) on the map. Seattle is the kingdom for grunge. Here are some songs that i think need to be on the list:
"Basket Case" - Green Day
"Song 2" - Blur
"Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve
"Rump Shaker" - Wreckx-N-Effect
"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" - Aerosmith
"Say It Ain't So" - Weezer
"All The Small Things" - Blink-182
"Lithium" - Nirvana
Any song from Boys II Men, and some Guns 'N' Roses.
Other than that, this list is ok.

Foxy Brown-Gotta Take You Home With Me Tonight
Bone Thugs In Harmony-Foa The Love of Money
Award Tour
This list is ridiculous...Zombie by The Cranberries should have definitely made this list.
what bout they might be the giants they played boss of me on malcom n da middle lol
Aerosmith, Offspring, Michael Jackson, and Smashing Pumpkins should of been on there
i loved nirvana but notorios big and tupac shakur should be here RIP tupac and biggie
I don't get why some many people are like "BackStreetBoys are number 3?!?!!? OMGWTFFF". Okay. Whether you liked them or not, they were insanely popular in the 90's. Many of their songs got so much airtime it's ridiculous. There are still fairly popular today, their last tour was sold-out.
It makes sense that they are #3 based on sheer popularity at the time and play time in the 90's.
I'm shocked Prozzak didn't make the list. They were so freaking popular in the 90s.
Glad to see Nirvana at number 1. There are so many songs I wished would've made the list... didn't even hear about the movie. Oh well. VH1/MTV/MuchMusic suck ass anyways.
No Our Lady Peace? No Clumsy or Superman's Dead? *Sigh*
I realize this list was a popular vote, but come on people?
BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY - THE VERVE
If the Verve had had it their way, they wouldn't have wanted the mainstream popularity that this song got.
But since the greedy Rolling Stone lawyers took the rights to the song, they spread the song around everywhere. It was on commercials and in movies and frickin' everywhere. People heard this song, they knew damn well it was an amazing song, but refused to vote for it.
This should show you the sad, sad state of music in America.
Its a crime that Bittersweet Symphony isnt on the list.
And All the Small Things or another Blink 182 song-they were 90's royalty.
most of that was rap crap. and bubblegum pop. only like, i don't know, 20 of those songs where good. no interstate love song? why no STP? what the hell?
The 90s! My favorite decade for music!! I must say though, most of this was pop that im not really a fan of, and i was dissapointed that red hot chilli peppers and bnl (to name a few) were only on there once, but, itw was an entertaining show to watch, i loved hearing what everyone had to say about all the music! not a bad way to spend an afternoon, well done vh1
i figured something out, VH1 should show a program and make it 90s week or something, get all the 90s songs that made any impact put that list on shuffle and just let it go through :D
Come on, dave matthews band should have totally been on there. and i definitely agree, bittersweet symphony should have been on the list. great songs!
WHERE'S THE BLINK 182!?!?!?!?!
This is dumest list of all time. You are telling me that the best group of the 90s didnt have one song that made the list?
Sarah McLachlin - Possession
How did the real slim shady not make this list
Arguably the worst list ever.
I have to admit there are some great songs on this list... but this is what public voting does. There are a lot of great songs not on here from STP, pumpkins, foo fighters, etc.
Yall need to stop getting mad. VH1 put the songs on list of chart popularity mainly. Alot of rap songs didn't fair high on the charts. So this list is kinda correct. And grunge and alternative was the most popular genre so it is fitting that it got alot of songs.

I was born in 89 so to me this list is perfect cause when Backstreet boys and Nsync and all bubblegum pop was big I LOVED it but i was also in elementary school. Hey TRL played them all religiously and those record sales were ridiculous radios played them constantly I'm sorry but I agree with it plus these songs were all voted for by fans so that must mean you guys that disagree with this list didn't take the time to vote so you only have yourselves to blame don't get me wrong I had an older sister who listened to Green Day,No Doubt, Nirvana and eventually so did I but this list is my childhood to a perfect T.
where's "i touch myself" from divynils in this rank? i think this song is awesome and better that much others from this list
where are the smashing pumpkins one of the most important bands of the 90s, and why are all this horrible rap songs in better position that some of the greatest rock songs of all time

okay, i am really sick of everybody trashing the backstreet boys. their songs are fun, they have almost no meaning, but their fun to sing aloung to and to dance to. so stop trashing them for being in third place, everybody secretly enjoys the music. and this list rocked have most of the songs! (;
wot a shit list
good list for the most part. i only disagree with the backstreet boys at #3 and that november rain by guns n roses and i dont wanna miss a thign by aerosmith. glad enter sandman by metallica was on there, what a freakin great song!! i wish motley crue had a good 90s song but they dont.
no tiene sentido, donde quedan michael, janet jackson, aerosmith, bon jovi, que mamadas
And No GIN BLOSSOMS? WHAT HAPPENED TO HEY JEALOUSY? and Found out about you?
I would say this needs Blind Melon 'no rain', 4 non blonds 'Whats up'
I just wanted to say my twelve year old brother could have put the top 100 90's songs together better than VH1 veiwers. The problem is only a few people actually logged on to their website to vote for the top songs... these people were completely mistaken in their accuracy of good music. First of all so many great bands are missing and a lot of the good ones on there should have been a lottttt higher. VH1 should have seen the results to the top 100 votes and decided that people are not capable of voting properly and made their own lists based on factual evidence and which songs were in fact awesome. Come on, you know a bunch of teens made the backstreet boys so high. Look at cd's they sell in stores of good 90's music, you don't see the backstreet boys because they were just a teen fantasy of a hot body and semi-okay songs. Nothing more. I vote VH1 makes their own list and the veiwers can suck it up and accept their precious boy band fantasy did not make good music. Yes they were popular... but to get the #3 spot???? Sickining. In no way shape or form do they deserve to be higher than half the people on that list.
What about "It must have been love" from Roxette??? C'mon! This list sucks!
This list sucks. If music was really this bad in the 90's i would have slit my wrists to save my ears...
all the peps disin this list need to take a look back at some vids nirvana,backstreet boys,barenaked ladies,matchbox twenty they all laid a platform for todays music. This list was bsed on the thoughts of selected people if you don`t like it make your own damn list and stop complaining.

Where's Plush by Stone Temple Pilots?? wtf!
tech n9ne shulda made top 10
and coolio eazy e nwa pac number 1 this is bullshit as rap had 90s
hello!
weres dont speak (no doubt)
WHAT ABOUT PEARL JAM????
if Number 1 Hadn't Been Nirvana i Would've Been Pissed !! Majority Of These Songs Are in The Wrong Order, i Mean Seriously There's Some Crap Songs in The List, But We All Know Them Don't We Nd Most Are Good - Long Live The 90's !!!
One sweet day by Mariah Carey and boyz to men was number 1 for 16 weeks in a row that is a record. Maybe I missed it but if that song is not on the list then why even make a top songs of the 90s list becasue that was clearly one of them.
smells like teen spirit son!!! but i cant believe theres no Sublime on there:( or Jumper by third eye blind
i loved the song choices; so many memories
This is a great list and as one of the "older" viewers who can actually remember the 90's all the way through, I think it's a great list (with the exception of missing Boyz II Men).
I just find it funny that so many people are commenting on the list that "insert singer/song here" should have been on the list, yet I doubt any of you voted for the top 100 songs. Also, the same people look like fools when they can't even spell correctly. I take this list more seriously than half the comments on this page.
P.S. - For those of you that are complaining about the Backstreet Boys and Britney spears being on the list, you know that you're the same people who were begging your parents to take you to those concerts 10 years ago and rushing home from school just so you can see who was #1 on TRL so stop complaining when you know you supported them. It's not all about rock, rap, and/or alternative music. Grow up!
Break it Down Again by TFF! Hello! Amazing fun, catchy, song!
Fantastic i thought i was doing ok with just the billboards list but now that all use's have commented ive now got the ultimate 90's collection cheers
i guess Crash into Me was not as popular as i thought it was. I remember being a little kid and always hearing "Crash" playing on the radio and in my house...the memories
you know what i realized that most songs on there thats the artist only hit or they don't record anymore
you know what i realized that most songs on there thats the artist only hit or they don't record anymore
most of the rock is good on here but where's
foo fighters
rollins band
aerosmith
the white stripes
i live in the music era it fucking so
i PRAISE this list
do you know what shit we have to listen to now
i wish i was there to see all the greats perform because
some don't perform anymore or some are R.I.P
but this is what i turn to eighties and nineties
the GOLDEN AGE OF MUSIC hell yeh
Folks, this isn't the 100 greatest songs of the 90's list.
It's the most 100 popular.
And there's still no Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Tupac, and no Boyz II Men. This list is off.
Oops! I saw RHCP. But, there's still no Pac or Boyz II Men.
How are you going to talk about 90's songs and they aren't on there. Vh1 makes some pathetic lists.........
And by the way, don't diss Waterfalls. It might not be what your into, but that song does have some meaning to it.....
How is Thong Song not on here? That was the jam for several of my college Spring Breaks
Where's No Doubt????
Smells Like Teen Spirit, Enter Sandman and Creep are my favorite
okay people who are saying crap like you should have let the public choose and stuff yeah the public did choose they had a poll so shutup losers and besides all you that said bad stuff are probably just into one kind of music be more versatile
Where is Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence?
Srsly it should be on the list!
ummmm
seriously
blink 182 and sublime should have been there
and creed NIN depeche mode and more U2
stupid list
wheres SUBLIME? Even though they hated mainstream stuff, they had a songs like santeria, what I got, date rape. cmon now.......Keep sublime alive and long live the brad!
how isnt guns n roses on here? november rain priceless love song and others to mention
Just curious why man in the box is on in there instead of Rooster or No Excuses, don't get me wrong its a great song but not their best.
tears in heaven is too good for this list anyways
Everlong, all my life, monkey wrench, and my hero by foo fighters all couldve easily made this list.. Everlong should be top 20
You guys are such dicks for whinging! If you dont like the list then deal with it! It is top 100 songs...which means they cant fit everything.
WHERE IS SCATMAN JOHM??!
where the hell is Angels??? and Back For Good??? and Wind Of Change???!!!!!
WHERE IS ALL THE BLINK-182?!?!?!
No Rain by Blind Melon should be there. Not only is it one of the greatest songs of the 90's, but I think that it is the greatest song ever made.
scat man has a point, where is he? lol
Yeah this list sucks and all, but I've got to do something no one else has done yet (that I've seen). And therefore, I give MAAAD props to Radiohead for making it. They deserve it, if not more, and apparantly VH1 has never heard of "Just", "Fake Plastic Trees", "High and Dry", "No Surprises", "Karma Police" or "Paranoid Android".
ok i get it the backstreet boys were popular but
NO#3 are u kidding me
sure the song would be on the list not that high
i mean they have little childrens songs beat all time classics?
.....
.....
oh shut the fuck up all the backstreet boys' haters. just because you dont like them doesn't mean that they "don't deserve" to be in this list. they were insanely popular in the 90s, being the most successful band of all times and hell yeah, it's because they make GOOD music. i'm not saying that others don't, but get out, they DO deserve the #3 position
and added to that, have you ever really listened to Backstreet Boys' songs, or you just "oh damn, another gay band..." and skip them? you guys want your fav to be on the list, but don't be like kids to deny how well others have done. you people disgust me
i still can't believe that bittersweet symphony didn't make the list!
You guys know that listing out what should have been on the list isn't going to magically change the list. But I was born in the 90's and you are all right, some of the songs that were higher up there did suck.
Excuse me, but how about "Creep" and "No Scrubs" by TLC I know you guys remeber those
This is the shit. the songs today make the 90s song curdle in the grave. In 2020 this music will rise again...
its the top 100 most popular songs of the 90's not your personal favorite songs of the 90's...its not gonna include random radiohead tracks and the only rock songs are gonna be ones that crossed over to pop...same with rap...sure they missed some songs but overall pretty accurate !!!
Where is the #1 best selling song of the entire decade on this list!? NOWHERE and why not? BRYAN ADAMS- EVERYTHING I DO
Backstreet boys defiantly deserve the number 3 spot...if not higher. That song, and all song released in the 90's, were HUGE!!! They just released an AMAZING new CD and are still on tour.
I look at this list and agree with most of it but where is Bone Thugs N' Harmony's - Tha Crossroads? That was the biggest one of if not the biggest song during 96-97.
electric slide, Incubus-Drive, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, friends in low places, one sweet day, boot scoot boogie, etc? WTF
WHERE ARE THE SMASHING PUMPKINS!!!!!!!???????? THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER! EVERY SINGLE SONG OFF OF GISH, SIAMESE DREAM, AND MCIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THERE!!!!!! NIN, and Dave Matthews should also be on there. SP FOREVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where's Give It Away!?!?
and everlong should have been up there w/wonderwall
(me n my girl's songs)
This list blows. No Sublime, really? They could have easily replaced all the crap pop with more grunge and angry chick music. That (along with the hiphop, though I agree Crossroads by Bone Thugs deserved to be on that list) really encapsulated the 90's. Though the Britney Spears, N*Suck came out late 90's, the pop craze was really the dawn of the 2000's.
Disappointing...
I did not completely agree with this list but I really loved the show..I was thoroughly entertained..
I hate how these American have never heard of Robbie Williams
I hate how these Americans don't rate Robbie Williams. Angels is better than most of these songs on the list
Where is TOOL?? Stinkfist, Sober, Prison Sex??? TOOL was the best band in the 90's and they still rock today!
You have Britney and Backstreet Boys at the top10, but no Ace of Base on the list at all? Weird
how does Everlong by the Foo Fighters "barely" miss the cut, that song is definately top 30, and britney and backstreet boys on top 10 even when i get high i cant stand that shit!
One of the best song lists that I have ever seen.
Thanks VH1
:)
One of the best song lists that I have ever seen.
Thanks VH1
:)
How can Scorpions' Wind of Change (1990) not be included? It should be Number 1!
This is the 100 greatest songs of the 90's meaning the most popular not your favorite songs of the 90's. I don't like it either but i think its accurate.
Although where the hell is Stone Temple Pilots?
Interstate Love Song, Plush, Big Empty all capable of being in the top 50!
November Rain by GNR, Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins, alot more grunge and less pop.
pretty shocked at the fact that semisonic - closing time, the wallflowers - one headlight , and smashing pumpkins - 1979 didn't make the list. so many defining songs of that generation got left out it's pretty crazy.

especially gnr use your illusion 1-2 are the officially best selling albums in 90's!!
The Verve's BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY isn't in this group? After they got ripped off by the Rolling Stones who stole the rights to the group and basically shut them down?
One of the best songs, comparable to "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Best lyrics, and a hook that sticks in your mind forever.... and you like it.
