What are your top choices? |

Date: November 20th, 2017 10:37 AM Author: violent crusty pistol heaven This is not the first time ive heard someone say this
Personally i think estranged is the most underrated gnr song but id still give the edge to november rain |

Date: November 20th, 2017 11:47 AM Author: Thriller chest-beating point multi-billionaire so true. the chords on estranged are insane. NR had the superior video though in an era where videos mattered; estranged otoh had axl swimming with dolphins and wearing a charles mansion tshirt (which is really cool considering today).

Date: November 20th, 2017 11:50 AM Author: pink candlestick maker NR had, at the time, the most expensive video of all time. the production costs on the helicopter slash solo shot outside the small church were insane.

Date: November 20th, 2017 7:37 AM Author: violent crusty pistol heaven I think ok computer is the best album of the 90s and let down is my favorite radiohead song but idk if i could claim its objectively the best song of the 90s (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803290&forum_id=2#34729354) |

Date: November 20th, 2017 7:40 AM Author: lascivious parlour death wish like i said, my tastes and changes vary on this from day to day. its a top tier song though and i think no issue with it being in the conversation (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803290&forum_id=2#34729360) |

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 11:05 AM Author: Histrionic giraffe pozpig I sorta feel like "Best Songs of the 90s" needs to appropriately capture the decade's zeitgeist.
Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" is a really good one as it just captures the feeling of the decade perfectly, as is Smashing Pumpkin's "Disarm" or "1979".
I also really like "Linger" by the Cranberries. |

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 11:34 AM Author: Spectacular Crotch University nah. Jeremy only captures the feeling of the early part of the decade. the late 90's resembled the roaring 20's and had nothing in common with lyrics to be found in a teen angst alternative/grunge song.

Date: November 20th, 2017 11:38 AM Author: Histrionic giraffe pozpig the late 90s was way more connected to the aughts culturally, at least imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803290&forum_id=2#34730664) |

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 11:47 AM Author: Histrionic giraffe pozpig well, Britney's "baby one more time" was a 90s song, but if someone asked you to to choose a song that reflected the 90s, you probably wouldn't choose that one. it's pretty indistinguishable from the aughts music imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803290&forum_id=2#34730739) |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 11:57 AM Author: Spectacular Crotch University this is nonsense. there was a recession in the early 90s and Seattle, which is always depressed anyway, produced some very good rock music reflecting its mood. that does not = zeitgeist of a decade (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3803290&forum_id=2#34730812) |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 12:06 PM Author: Histrionic giraffe pozpig i mean i get what you're saying, and i definitely think there are other musical genres that capture the 90s spirit: gangsta rap, R&B, ska/bigband, britpop, etc.
if someone suggested jump jive and wail, or gin and juice, i'd take no issue with those and think they capture the 90s well, or at least they "feel" 90s.
but the late 90s pop that was really just the precursor to the aughts pop isn't really a good choice imo. |
