Title: *Top 30 90s Songs Mojo Forgot Were Awesome*
Top 100 90s Chart Toppers
Umm, 90's music is the reason I started purchasing 80's music from Europe., and revisiting the "Motown" sounds I grew up with, and appreciating the "Blues" of ZZ Hill, Bobby Bland" and John Lee Hooker, and BB King (drinking music).. The "deepest song " on your list was "Waterfalls". Even "Prince", was an '80's thing that carried on into the '90s. I think that the last two "CDs", I bought from "Tower Records", was "Cracked Rearview Mirror" by "Hootie and the Blowfish", and "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues". By Everlast. (90's music basically sucked.) .The best song of the '90s was Usher's "Yhea" in 2004.I know,it's not the '90's but when my twins were in the car and my head was bopping, one of them said "My friend at school said her father likes that song too, why do old people like it so much?

Forgot? 80% of the list is my playlist lol
I said the same thing. I still listen to these songs.
Yup. Even do a number of em at karaoke
Same!
FACTS😂😂😂
thanks for the trip down Nostalgia Lane! 🎶😻😎
Hard to forget these songs if you work in a customer service setting...most of these play constantly. 😂
Walmart Radio........... I learned Pop Songs I never ever wanted to know.
@@brittneyihrig1216😂 I worked retail in the 90’s, I think it was worse…lol. Either way, I feel ya.
@@GT-mq1dx I get that cos depending on your taste of music it could have been really bad. At least as of 2022 Walmart radio but only on Overnight shifts would play Guns N Roses. But nit ever Metallica. Work radio always csters to the masses and I get it........ but even the masses can enjoy some rock or metal now and again.
@@brittneyihrig1216 I totally agree.
I dont think ill ever get over the entire aesthetic of the 90s, everything just blended together so perfectly. 90s music was so damn good.
You are so right! The 90s is my favorite time of music, movies, and culture overall. I'm probably biased bc I grew up in the 90s but still...
@@MelaninCosplay same, but if it's bias? Idc! I'm having a blast!
@@blackmesacake5361 LOL! Let me ask you rhis: do you listen/watch 90s stuff more than recent music and movies? Or do you do half and half? 90s to early 2000s (and a little of mid to late 2000s), I listen to more. There's nice stuff now, but 90s (and early 2000s) was a whole ass vibe.
@@MelaninCosplay I kinda go all over the map, I love the 90s as a whole, way more than any other decade, but I love a lot of current music as well as the 2000s and 2010s stuff too, as well as some of the 80s, but mostly 80s pop.
In the 2020s there's not so very much great stuff anymore. @@MelaninCosplay
Standing Outside a Broken Telephone Booth by the Primitive Radio Gods should be on the list.
Hell yes! I love that song, and it seems like only three other people in the world know about it ♥
Def
I read this comment and was like "who? What?" Then 0.5 seconds into listening to the song I realized exactly what it was.
Yes!!!

Connection - Elastica
Seether - Veruca Salt
Great additions! Wow, "Not An Addict" - had forgotten about this one! Thanks!
@@jasongriffiths9252 "Connection" is to "Three Girl Rhumba" what "Shut Up and Drive" is to "Blue Monday".
How could anyone forget Groove is in the Heart??
I know right such a great song
because it sucks.
Slide whistle
DA- Groovey!!!🫰🏿
It's epic
I miss the 90s 😢
Of the people old enough to have been cognizant of current music at the time, _who on earth_ forgot these?
None of us. 🙌🏿
@@MelaninCosplay Right. Lol
If you mean by current music; mainstream music, music made for radio, and music made for the masses, then probably they are unforgettable because they were unavoidable.
I have found memories about music from the 90's, but 50% of these songs I've never heard, 40% I have heard but didn't care, and maybe two or three are still worth listening to.
I think there was so much more interesting music in that decade then these random 30 (mostly) mediocre radio hits. It's a list for people who were teenagers in that period.
Um, I've never heard of some of these ... US only hits I guess.
Only 6 of these songs are any good at all.
The fact the 90’s were 30 years ago makes me feel very old
Me too😢
30th anniversary of Kurt Cobains death in like 10 days. I feel ancient lol
Same same same
Deee-lite never stopped being cool.
This.
Can't stop of you never start. Lol. Jk
En Vogue deserved so much more appreciation. powerful songs and powerful voices.
Not a fan of their music but they had talent no doubt. Their songs are ear worms lol no you never gonna get it lol
@@Spooky_515 Not this time.
More? They were huge, kiddo. You need to look at their 90s & all-time ratings.
The 90s was fun.
Brandy & Monica’s “the boy is mine.” & the Cure’s “Friday I’m in love.” are definitely not forgotten tracks at all, they’re very well known and they are their signature songs.
Who's that?
I couldn't get away from those two songs back then if I tried! "The Boy Is Mine" was everywhere in the late '90s and my local rhythmic radio station played the hell out of it.
Some of us older Gen Xers might consider other Cure songs to be more "signature".
Ariana Grande even sampled the boy is mine on her new album!
I have a hard time not busting in to "Friday I'm in Love" at staff meetings once a week!
Nine Days "Story of a Girl", Marcy Playgrounds "Sex and Candy" and Semisonic's " Secret Smile" are still in my playlist. Perfection.
Same here ❤❤
Nine Days "Story Of A Girl" was released in the year 2000
Literally no one who grew up in the 90s forgot how awesome these songs are.
Um...I hadn't heard more than half of these - and I'm a 90's baby. xD
I would've forgotten most of 'em too, because my memory stinks and I just find new hyperfixations. :P
(fun fact: I only know Be My Lover due to my work place, of which I joined last year. Never heard it before until then)
I grew up in the 90's and there were 3 songs in the list I'd never heard before...
Those were the best years of my life. From high school (92-96) to college (96-2000). Im 45 now, but I surely feel as if that era was just 7-10 years ago.
I came up right behind you. This is my middle school and high school soundtrack (graduated in 2000). Yes, it does seem like yesterday
Same time for me. A lot of these were guilty pleasures for my metal goth self.
@@chuckycheezburger3313 Hahaha! And I was really a metalhead/grunge dude. Lol
better title. 30 90s ear-worm songs you thought left your head
Stay is mine and my partners song. It's weird, but we met at a party, he was playing it on a guitar in another room and I started singing it. It's absolutely a breakup song, but we've been together for 22 years. We've met Lisa once and for our anniversary last year she sent us hand written lyrics. 💜💜
That's awesome
That’s so sweet!
This list definitely needs sequels. Six Pence None the Richer, Enigma, Natalie Merchant solo, Eric Clapton…so much nostalgia~
Of course My Father's Eyes and Tears in Heaven were some of the biggest hits of Eric Clapton in the 90s
"Give Me One Reason" - Tracy Chapman, you'll know it
Hey Man, Nice Shot
❤❤❤❤
I think this song along with Take a Picture were released in the year 2000
Released in 1995
@@joeb.evrythngEclectic5571 Ok but I am right with the release of Take A Picture in the year 2000
@@TheBest-wc5cf It's alright, I'm not trying to be jerk or nothing. Stuff Happens.
6 Underground is one my favorite weekend mood tracks
Fun fact, that chick later did vocals for Orbital and other electronic acts.
Plus I would add Pepper by the Butthole Surfers, a real earworm at the time imo. Oh and Beck - Loser.
'Groove is in the Heart'-Deee Lite should've been Number 1 because it's one of the greatest floor-fillers of all time
it was never forgotten though. shouldn't even be in the list at all
AMEN to THAT... 'The thrills that you spill up my back...' - I mean, HELLOOOO... and DAMN dat Girl can GROOVE... ✊🕺👍
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
Tonic - If You Could Only See
White Town - Your Woman
Fools Garden - Lemon Tree
Marcy Playground - Sex & Candy
Babylon Zoo - Spaceman
Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack
The Cardigans - Love Fool
Meredith Brooks - B*tch
Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe
All 4 One - I Swear
Great choices!
Meat Puppets backwater and dinosaur jr feel the pain takes me back to the 90’s everytime
You Get What You Give is the second anthem of the 90s along with Bittersweet Symphony. It just so damn good ❤❤❤❤❤
There are a lot of songs that I didn’t like when they came out but over the years or through nostalgia I’ve come to appreciate. “You Get What You Give” might be the only one that I still can’t stand. 😂 I’ve tried to appreciate it so many times but eventually keep removing it from any playlist if it pops up.
I’m with you on Bittersweet Symphony though.
For the longest time I thought You Get What You Give was sung by U2.
New Radicals is one of the worst bands ever. Right there with Nickelback.
I certainly never forgot about most of these songs. The 90s were amazing.
I'm so happy to see my favourite band on here - James! Laid is an epic song and still sounds as good today ❤
I loved James, what happened to them/him?
@@spinflux - they are still going strong. Got a new album out soon, and still touring.
It's amazing there weren't more seizures in the 90s with some of the music videos
The Rollins Band. "Cause I'm a liar!" Lol. 😂
I’ll raise you Ministry “Just One Fix” lol
@@Spooky_515 Absolutely! Let me add Replica by Fear Factory.
The 90s music was better than today
I feel like I still hear half of these songs every other day on 90s radio, so I don’t know how many people have really forgotten they’re awesome.
I haven't forgotten any of these and still listen to most of them....
Pop, R and B, Rap, hip hop are still going strong. As a GenXer I can’t help but think that the 90’s were the last decade of Rock music.
⚰️🪦🙏🏿
Agreed. There’s little mind-blowing rock coming out anymore. The best bands are all on their 3rd decade of playing.
Fly by Sugar Ray, Another Night by Real McCoy, Sex and Candy by Marcy's Playground.
The vocalist for Real McCoy's "Another Night" (Patricia Petersen) was actually miming to the real vocalist, Karin Kasar. O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza) was really rapping, though. He and Karin went on tour witih several other 90s nostalgia acts a few years ago.
Glad to see spacehog finally getting more exposure haha
So glad to see the Toadies getting some love!
Even the worse of the 90s( not talking about this list) was dope..is dope..will always be..Dope
I was 15 - 25 in this decade. Such a great decade for music, it was a real mixed bag, and I loved most of it. Only a couple I didn't really care about.
I'm the same age as you and I feel like we grew up in the best decade.
Idk if he’s on here but “No Rain” by Blind Melon is fire
The music video was powerful 😢
That video was the prerequisite of Little Miss Sunshine 😂
It's supposed to be "songs you forgot". They never let us forget Blind Melon😂
Out of everything on the list. My favorite song thats still a banger is Live's Lightning Crashes. I always thought pearl jam sang it.
🥉
Such a deep, heartfelt track
@@chriskasowski4743 I agree
watching this video- as soon as that song came up- i gasped. lol, still a powerful video and song.
Concrete Blonde’s “Joey” should definitely be on this list!!!
Awesome song!
Hope Sandoval has one of the most mesmerizing voices i ever heard.
Yes I love it.
Closing Time by Semisonic
In what universe did anyone think that "The Cure," would be limited to the 80s?!?
No one with taste has forgotten any of the gems on here.
To be honest, I thought that Cure song was from the 80s.
Taste? The Cure and a few others aside this list is a marginal representation of 90’s music
@@Spooky_515 Yes very marginal job of representing 90's music where the Hell is No Doubt, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Cranberries and last but not least N I R V A N A!!!!
I lived through it and I'm still addicted to everything about the nineties. From the music all the way to Micheal Jordan and everything in between
90s the last decade of good music. I'm 57.
Was totally expecting to see "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister on this one!
Ooh! That's a good one.
Love that song....played the whole cd all the time 🥹❤
Literally no one has forgotten these songs, or how awesome they are.
Then again, there's no King Missile on the list. Someone forgot about that classic..
My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
One of Us - Joan Osborne
L'Amour Toujours - Gigi D'Agostino
Rhythm is a Dancer - Snap
Surely someone else remembers and loves White Town's "Your Woman"😁
"In the meantime " definitely brings me some trauma when I hear it. In 1996, a friend of mine went to see them in concert and unfortunately he never made it home. The next morning, his body was discovered in the middle of a set of train tracks not too far from his home. To this day, we have an idea of who may have been involved, but unfortunately, there was no concrete evidence to have anyone face justice. It's definitely a great song,but it still hurts to hear it,especially when the piano kicks in at the end. It makes me think about how he missed out on so many opportunities in life.
I would've found a place on the list for Scooby Snacks by Fun Lovin' Criminals!!
The Way is still my favorite song. Always.
I played some Fastball on a jukebox just 3 nights ago.
Me and my brother met the singer of, Spin Doctors, in 1991 on the platform at Broadway Lafayette and he was the biggest POS. Makes me feel good to know they're a one hit wonder.
Sorry to hear he was he was such a tool. Might be a two-hit wonder because of Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, but we don't hear anything from them anymore.
Dunno about their personality, but I loved Two Princes in the early 90s, and Little Miss Can't Be Wrong as well. Saw Spin Doctors live once. They were terrible. Probably the worse band I've ever seen in concert. Played like shit, bad timing, lead vocals were crap. However lightning struck for those two produced tracks, but between bad character and fake skills, it's no wonder they're history. NGL, I'll still rock out like I was 20yo when TP or LMCBW comes up on my shuffle. Heh.
You guys do realise that 'Glam' was David Bowie's FOURTH recording style...RIGHT?
1st was English R & B styling, next a bit of folkiness, and then a bit of Tyrannosaurus Rex style, THEN 'Glam' for 3 LPs and done.
T rex style? Did he pull up his arms into his suit and then chase the guitarist across the stage?
I will show myself out now.
I remembered thinking Breakfast At Tiffany's was very bland ... gotta say it still is today! 😂
Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home, Alisha's Attic - I Am, I Feel, Goo Goo Dolls - Name, Tevin Campbell - I'm Ready, Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand
All fine tracks!
"Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" was performed by Primitive Radio Gods.
Just yesterday, I rediscovered Green Day’s “Basket Case,” and it fits the list.
That's one of my favorites as well. Personally I think boulevard of broken dreams is good as well.
@@Reaperguy67That’s my favorite song from _American Idiot._
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 nice.
You missed the fact that Steal my Sunshine sampled Andrea True Connection's 70s song "More, More, More".
Now this is a great video/list!!!!! Lots of memories
Nobody has forgotten about a lot of these lol
I was a little disappointed to not see Plowed by Sponge
I liked these. Thank you so much for reminding me!
I love these songs ❤️❤️❤️
The 90"s are awesome and the music was amazing
I was 23 in 1990 and had or first of 3 children in 1993 so it was 80’s rather than the 90’s music that I danced to in nightclubs and bands I saw in concert, but so many of these songs formed a backdrop to my mid to late 20’ as I raised my babies. Many of these songs are still on our playlists. Thanks so much for reminding me that there were a lot of great songs in the 90’s.
I hardly forgot this. 80%-90% of the songs are in my Spotify lists.
you make lists like this every few months & i watch it every time
Mazzy star ❤❤❤
No one has forgotten “Friday I’m In Love” is awesome. It’s a classic!
I don't think I've heard it. Well, I was wrong. I have heard it. Good song.
1992's Damn, I Wish I was Your Lover by Sophie B Hawkins is awesome and I know it was rarely heard on the radio where i lived.
Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks
Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
Collective Soul - Gel
Urge Overkill - The Break
Sublime - Santeria
Elastica - Connection
Gin Blossoms - Follow You Down
La Bouche's "Be My Lover" is more Eurodance than techno. As for New Radicals, they nearly debuted with another song that might sound familiar to anyone who knows about Saltburn: "Murder on the Dancefloor."
man that would be weird. I kinda want to hear it though.
Gregg Alexander co-wrote it, but it was released in 2001 by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who I think also shares a co-writing credit. Their second single, "Someday We'll Know", was covered by Mandy Moore on a soundtrack to one of her movies, perhaps "The Notebook"? Alexander has since wrote tracks for artists such as Melanie C and Natasha Bedingfield.
@@riinak7212Gregg Alexander is amazing.
Who's doing the voiceover narration for this video? She's nailing it. What an engaging voice. Nice work.
Ready to go!!!! Love this song.
Love It WatchMojo.
Laid is one of those songs I didn’t like back in the day, but when I heard it a few years ago I suddenly realized it was great
What an absolute blast of a list. Loved it!!!!
Thank you for bringing me down memory lane
Forgot? A lot of these are still in my playlist
Some absolute treasures on this list and a couple I have never heard of before but am delighted to be introduced to!
I love the song "Fade into You" and it is one song that would be least expected for me to like looking at what I listen to Also "Lightning Crashes" was great along with "Far Behind", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and "Bound for the Floor" In the 80s I was into Punk, Thrash, Industrial, and Hair Metal along with the start of Grunge.
I will never get tired of The Way.
I literally have 75% of these songs on a playlist.
Nearby my favorite podcast's (Ketzerkirche = Heretics Church, Honigwabe = Honey Comb, Clownswelt = Clownworld, Kasperkast = Kasper Cast) episodes, audio dramas, audio/talking books and other great music stuff I'm still listening to EVERY SINGLE great song portraied and introduced here! I live the 90's forever - and - in some weird kind of way - I AM the 90's, floating through my senses, soul and mind - and the electronic music tracks are some of the greatest! But still thank you very much for such listings.
Thanks for making me feel old 😂
It’s criminal Personal Jesus didn’t make the list… and Fastball did yet again
because fastball is awesome ❤
@@claudiascalzo17 No argument here, it is absolutely a great song. But they recycled at least 3 songs off an older list very similar to this one and that was my gripe. It was a missed opportunity to point out other great songs like Blue Monday by Orgy or even other Cure songs that aren’t their singles 😂
Personal Jesus was released in 1989
@@starbrite526 it came out in August of ‘89 and the album came out in 1990, if anything it’s both an 80s and 90s song (more 90s to me) 😂 and thats not even to mention Johnny Cash’s version from ‘02
Now I want to listen to some songs from the 90s
Rocket Raccoon never forgot Spacehog was awesome.
No Rain by Blind Melon? Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind? Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve? Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers? Waterfalls by TLC? Iris by Goo Goo Dolls? Closing Time by Semisonic?
The people who grew up listening to these are hitting their midlife crises around now, so, thanks for that.
Blur - Song 2. 😉 The 90's were the last great decade for music. So much variety. So many catchy songs. 🥲
I still regularly listen to theee, im 40 and grew up with them
The Good old 90s good years
Not as good as the 80s though
Oh wonderful. So you played 1 second of each song, wow!
just love how robin give the midle finger to all the abusive music corporations and did what she realy love that is good music and not rubish pop like everibody's doing !
Missing Tangerine by the Flaming Lips, Mambo number 5 and Scatman
