My Top 999 Singles of the 1990's - Part 1 (of 3)

[Deleted]

Yep, I'm doing *this* again. It became clear shortly after making last year's that there is a shocking amount of artists and groups I didn't sit down and listen through the first time. Well... that's most assuredly been corrected this time around. Though I must mention up front that after the months (and months) I spent leafing through dozens and dozens and dozens of discographies in search of singles to add to the list, even then I don't actually think anyone can totally nail one decade. But, in my effort to try, I did spend my entire summer and half my fall (and - now - it's winter) checking out tracks (singles only, of course: for my sanity) by about a couple hundred artists / groups I never really gave a lot of time to and then choosing from those tracks which would be considered for this list. I don't want to pretend I know the 90's any better than a serious music critic. But the 90's was the decade when I actually paid the most attention to mainstream media. Also, it doesn't matter to me if some of these were only released as singles in Japan, etc. If they were released anywhere in the world as a single and I've heard it and think it's better than the hundreds of songs that didn't make my cut, I'll include it.

(I want to of course give credit for this idea to Slant Magazine and their excellent Top 100 list which is fully to blame for putting this BUG in me. That and the fact that the 90's just needs more recognition. I think it's the best decade in music that I've been alive for. Though that doesn't mean I think it's the best time for all genres. I even hear amazing dance and club tracks being produced now that the 90's couldn't hope to stand up to.)

Now... last important note is subjectivity. I tried my best with the last list to make it clear that I have very few genres and subgenres that I flat-out hate or feel snobbish toward (just metal - which I think is inferior to grunge and punk - and most country) and so, that's very much why I thought I would be a good judge for this. I've noticed a lot of critics have certain biases against teen pop or Euro fluff, but... not me. Though when it comes to overkill and just clogging the arteries of the genre with the boats and boats of New Kids on the Block clones (which ironically crashed in the _late_ 90's, when Donnie was stripping down for M. Night Shyamalan), I completely get that a line needs to be drawn. And that, I believe, I've done. While still paying fair tribute to the bubblegum earworms I think have stood the test of nostalgia. And by that, I mean *My* nostalgia. Which is why it's important to clarify that a lot of this is strictly based on my own very '94-98 centered nostalgia. And, Mtv turned me on to a LOT of this. Especially through Daria, The Real World, and what little MTV2 I was exposed to. A lot of younger listeners won't remember but the 90's was the VERY last time Mtv actually had a real power of turning people onto anything musically. Their anti-music, all-reality-TV reputation was made in the 2000's.

So, what I'm saying is that certain songs may rank further down the list, while they'd rank higher for others, for 2 very important nostalgia-oriented reasons. Either the song never meant as much to me or I remember it as being insanely overplayed and...yes, that does get to me. Below I've made a list of a few songs I've outright banned because I just friggin' always hated them (1-9), and still do. The rest being as I've marked- songs I just don't have the enthusiasm to bother with listening to again. It's important to note where biases exist. On that note, I've included a list of artists I still haven't bothered to get around to checking out thoroughly. Most of this indicates a bit of a bias against other floods in subgenre trends, especially with the long-running careers of 60's and 70's artists, metal again, and what I like to call "road trip" artists and bands (which I don't think anyone will hold against me: I mean, I did go through Third Eye Blind, Counting Crows, and The Wallflowers).

Okay, even that said I know there will be some eyebrows raised. Some songs here I know are actually widely considered to be trashy and I've always regarded myself as open-minded to trash. They're here because I think they are evocatively moody, I remain semi or totally ignorant of their subject matter, or I can listen to them with no sense of shame (who do I have to impress anyway?). Clearly, we won't agree on everything, but it's debatable whether more than 8 people will even read this list. So... here we go, the last time I will ever do this (that's for goddamned sure).
