12:02 This was literally the second song I thought about when I put on the video, in between Garbage "Only Happen When It Rains", Cranberries "Dreams", Stone Temple Pilots "Big Empty" and Live "Lightning Crashes".
I don't know if I'd call them playlist staples, but my top 10 '90s rock tracks I consider underappreciated include the following: "Pepper," the Butthole Surfers; "Universal Heartbeat," Juliana Hatfield; "Dream All Day," The Posies; "I Was Wrong," Social Distortion; "The Trick is to Keep Breathing," Garbage; "Into Your Arms," The Lemonheads' (1993 cover); "Sweet '69," Babes in Toyland; "Bruise Violet," Babes in Toyland; "Down by the Water," P.J. Harvey; "Serve the Servants," Nirvana. S.R., Mo-Mutt Music
I didn't forget either. I was a teenager in the 1990s, so 90s alternative rock is my favorite era and genre of music. I asked Alexa to play Alice in Chains this morning.
I love Garbage and Shirley Manson, I had no idea that people forgot that song. I haven't stopped listening this album and the band since the first time
L7's "Pretend We're Dead" and Republica's "Ready to Go" could absolutely have been on this list. Arguably, they're more undeservedly forgotten than some of the songs included here.
As someone who was in high school mid-late 90’s this list is so relatable. ‘Sex and Candy,’ ‘Inside Out,’ ‘Balloon’ and ‘Univited’ are definitely memorable.
Class of 97 here. Green Day's Dookie was my freshman year, Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was my junior year, and Foo Fighters Color and the Shape was my senior year. I very closely tie each album to that respective year of high school.
@WatchMojo i disagree on top 9 90s rock hit but Did you know back in the early 90s in 1995 You Oughta Know was her number 1 hit in the us and reached the top 9 lists change it and make it right pls From Billy Bardsley
“Sick of Myself” by Matthew Sweet. “Walk on the Ocean” by Toad the Wet Sprocket “This is Hardcore” by Pulp “Why Does It Always Rain On Me” by Travis “Santa Monica” by Everclear “River of Deceit” by Mad Season “Stars” by HUM
The 90s gave us so many amazing bands and timeless songs. Let's not forget "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring. Talk about a song we can all relate to. I dare say most of us knew every single person mentioned in that song in our lives.
I remember them playing on a festival in Germany in 2010, Scott Weiland was absolutely stoned/drunk, not capable to to speak and his way to speak and interact with the audience was pathetic. But somehow he was able to sing and perform in a proper way. It turned out to become an amazing show. HAHA
Garbage was truly Iconic and unforgettable.Veruca Salt really rocked. David Bowie’s I’m afraid of Americans with Trent Reznor was a ‘comeback’ plus it’s facetious. RIP - I still miss him❤️ Sex and Candy awesome 1 hit wonder. Great list
I own a Gibson es335 that used to belong to Trent reznor. I have the provenance to prove it. I live in Memphis and it was made here at the Gibson plant for him. He used it in his live shows. They made 100 for him. He smashed all but 35 of them on stage. He gave the 35 Back to Gibson. They presented them to employees as bonuses with their names on the trussrod plate. I got it from an employee. I paid $3000 for it.
I seriously can't understand how Alanis became famous. Her voice is grating. Even when I was younger and my music taste was completely unrefined, I asked how someone who just screams got a record deal. She's so bad I turn her off my radio even if it's on mute.
Faith No More’s Angel Dust album (to include ‘Midlife Crisis’) is criminally underrated. Some of these other songs from Incubus, Everlasting, Lit, Filter etc are fortunately still played regularly on our local rock and alternative radio stations. Definitely not forgotten.
@@OratoryJamesIV Oh wow! That is messed up. His originality, range, creativity - the list goes on. He has influenced so many singers that came after him.
I just saw this video and watched it and commented the same thing the only people that forgot about this stuff are the people that didn't listen to this kind of music
You can’t get any more 90s than The Posie’s - Dream All Day Also, Deftones - Change is an awesome song. Others are, Lucius Jackson - Naked Eye, Everything But the Girl - Missing, Letters to Cleo - Here and Now, Hole - Violet, 3 Doors Down - Loser, B52s - Roam, White Zombie - Thunderkiss, U2 - Ultraviolet, The Breeders - Cannonball, L7 - Pretend We’re Dead, and Local H - Bound for the Floor. And for some hip hop - Londonbeat - Been Thinking About You. For EDM… Children, Rapture, Insomnia, to name a few
90s were a great decade for music!!! I was a kid in the late 70s, graduating high school in '88, so this list is one that I actually have heard most of the songs!! Goo goo dolls is a GREAT band!!! Spotify even let me know when their new album came out, and I found a couple of songs to add to my Playlist. Back in the day....I used to sing their song Name. It was an inside joke with a friend of mine who I would hang out with and go to a bar to sing karaoke.
Name, Big Machine, Black Balloon, Slide and of course Iris. They have a number of very good tracks. Iris is overplayed but for good reason, there's so much going on in the background in that song.
Again, NIN should've been here and so many many many other amazing bands. The 90s wasn't my favorite but had some absolutely breath-taking hits that remain timeless.
Some yes, many no. 80s were fun, celebratory and bright. 1/2 of these are angry which is what I now dont like about 90s music. 2010 decade social media took angrrrrrrrrrr to such a level that makes a lot of what I liked back then unlistenable.
Garbage is absolutely wonderful! I've been a fan of them ever since their first album came out! And even knew about Shirley Manson before garbage when she was in Angelfish! 🤘🤘 They're one of the best bands that's ever existed and they're still around today making new music! 🤘I haven't forgotten any song by them! I wish I could meet Shirley Manson in person before I die. I know that's not going to happen but dear Lord that would be a dream come true 🤗🤗🤘🤘😁💓💓💓💓💓🤘🤘🤘
No Deftones, No Korn, No superman's dead from Our Lady Peace, No Novocaine For The Soul from Eels, No Alice In chains ? No Black hole Sun From Soungarden? Well...
@@trinaq 1993. So I’m five years older. And I see you were born in the year of Radiant Silvergun, Lethal Weapon 4, Small Soldiers, Armageddon, Burning Rangers, and The Mask of Zorro.
Once again, spoken to a casual rock fan point of view, most of these songs to the true rock fans are always awesome. They never stop being awesome. I get that some of these songs because of the tones or rhythm or style they take are an acquired taste, but they never stopped being awesome
the 90s ended 23+ years ago, "casual" or "true" rock fans some folks are just gonna slip ones mind. no need to go out of your way to make yourself seem (key word here) like you are a cooler or better rock fan then the rest. lmfao.
Incubus live was still one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen, even though I knew barely any of their music. So good I went back again the following year, same venue, higher price 🤦♀️😬🤘
Lot of songs that I've never heard of. Maybe here in France. Popular was a hit here, Alanis too. And Garbage is clearly my favourite, always loved this song and many more from them. Shirley Manson is an awesome singer, incredible in concert.
I was introduced to the Cranberries by my mom’s classmate (my mom went back to the work force & was 10 yrs older than everyone). She would paint my nails and belt out their lyrics….been a fan ever since, remember this song clear as day, I’m 37 now
Bowie and Trent were good friends. They toured together, worked on a bunch of projects together and Trent even credits Bowie for him getting clean and sober. They just showed Trent in the video but didn't mention him. Ridiculous!
These songs sound great! I like rock🎸! "Pardon Me", "Black Balloon", and "My Own Worst Enemy" came out the same year I was born! Also, the ladies in these music videos looked so nice!
In 1996, I saw Garbage, Sponge and Stabbing Westward play together. That was a phenomenal show! I wish I could remember who the opening act was. The 90’s were SUCH a great era to grow up in! 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻
I loved "drive" by incubus. I end up hating incubus once the 2000's came around because they became to political. They have hatred for anyone that doesn't think like a liberal. Same with green day.
Amen I Kinda Fell Out Of Love With Fall Out Boy when the 2010's kept going on but they'd made a banger cartoon Mondo Trasho 3042 one bright spot in all of that
Would it be possible to make a Top 50 list on this topic? You left a lot of songs out: - "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham - "Never There" by Cake - "Get 'Em Outta Here" by Sprung Monkey - "Sucked Out" by Superdrag - "Cannonball" by the Breeders - "Connection" by Elastica - "L Train" by Shootyz Groove - "Legend of a Cowgirl" by Imani Coppola - "Radiation Vibe" by Fountains of Wayne - "Hello" by Poe
Some songs on here I've never heard of, so never got to forget they were awesome. Most of the songs on here I've heard, and never forgot they were awesome.
A sampling of my favorite songs from the 1990s: "If I Have To Be Alone"--Todd Rundgren "Men Will Be Men"--Suzanne Vega "Them Bones"--Alice In Chains "When I Was Your Age"--Weird Al Yankovic "Until I Fall Away"--The Gin Blossoms "Runaway Train"--Soul Asylum "The King Is Half-Undressed"--Jellyfish "Walls"--Tom Petty "I Don't Know You"-- Annie Ross & The Low Note Quintet "I Should Be Allowed To Think"-- They Might Be Giants "Vampires"--The Pet Shop Boys "Have A Nice Day"--Ramones "Fade Into You"--Mazzy Star "Skydiver"--Schtum "Sleep"--Garbage "On The Shoulders Of Freaks"-- Henry Phillips "Driven"--Rush "On My Own"--Peach "Mmm-Bop"--Hanson "Goddess On A Hi-Way"--Mercury Rev "The Blarney Stone"--Ween "Bachelorette"--Björk "Bad Reputation"--Freedy Johnston "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate"-- The Flaming Lips "Iris"--The Goo Goo Dolls
It's funny, in the 90s, I wouldn't be caught dead listening to Hanson, Backstreet Boys or Len (Steal My Sunshine was overplayed the day it dropped) but now? I turn the radio up and remember my wonderfully wasted youth.
Surprisingly good list! STP's first 2 albums are iconic but they had later albums that went unrecognized and No.4 was brilliant. SPONGE!!! One of my all-time faves. Their discography is all over the place- in the best way. New Pop Sunday should've been a huge success. Such a shame they were overlooked by the media and listeners. Dinosaur Jr. has some of the best guitar work out there but I can understand people not liking the vocals. And look at how many female-fronted bands there were! So much amazing music. I miss the 90's...
Pardon me,black balloon,own worst enemy,take my picture,inside out,what it's like,sex and candy and jumper have been on my Playlist for over 22 years ❤
You failed to mention rock and roll hall of fame legend Trent Reznor who was on and sang with David Bowie in “I’m afraid of American’s.” David and Trent brought out the best in one another. It’s too bad we won’t see another video with them together again. R.I.P. David Bowie ❤️💔❤️🎶🎤🎸
I'm GEN-X....served in the military 2992-2000 I may or may not have drank alot of alcohol, deployed several times, but didn't forget the music we listened to at the time, this music, 70s, 80s 50s, 60s....all great to get US through, the SUCK
Was hoping Fastball’s “The Way”, “Out Of My Head” or “Fire Escape” would be on here but there’s so much good music from back than you’d probably have to do a top 50 eventually
no one forgot the way by fastball cuz it's on every other wm list about 90's rock. still gets played on the radio too. not sure why Lit are on here either or Eve 6
Garbage is one of the most underrated bands of all time. Far too many people "never heard of them" these days, but almost everyone knows at least one of their songs when you start playing their biggest hits or any of their songs which were used in movies. (That "oh, they did that song!?" moment.)
Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground is my favourite song from them, and anyone that have not heard this song, have probably not heard of the band. Also, I do not know how people can forget Only Happy When It Rains, since they have played it in recent movies like Captain Marvel.
Thank you for this, WatchMojo. As a Malaysian, haven't heard some of these songs since my college years in Connecticut. Brought me back to a real good time in my life !!
As piracy effectively defunded the entire music industry down to it's bare minimum (live performance) the 90's was the very last time music was a major player in artistic expression. The 90's were the last time a musician can experiment without financial insecurity. That's why ever since pop hybrids of music genres has emerged as the overwhelming available genre of music.
Some great songs and great memories. Even brooke up in the 90's, a few of these were new to me. A few other favorites skilful be: "So Much for the Afterglow" Everclear "We Are the Normal" and "Eyes Wide Open" Goo Goo Dolls "Lost Cause" Oleander "This Is Shangri-la" Mother Love Bone "Celebrity Skin" Hole
These are still what's in my daily driver spotify playlist. The newer stuff just didnt drum the beat for me. 90s rock and the early 2000s was peak music for me.
Thanks! I'm still listening and love Garbage, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Bowie, Faith No More and L7. The great musicians, think. 90s was good for music, like 80s too.

Agreed! They kinda fucked him over on that. There is no song without Trent Reznor

Would it be possible to make a Top 50 list on this topic? You left a lot of songs out:
- "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham
- "Never There" by Cake
- "Get 'Em Outta Here" by Sprung Monkey
- "Sucked Out" by Superdrag
- "Cannonball" by the Breeders
- "Connection" by Elastica
- "L Train" by Shootyz Groove
- "Legend of a Cowgirl" by Imani Coppola
- "Radiation Vibe" by Fountains of Wayne
- "Hello" by Poe
Wow! No sublime, Rancid, Local H, PJ Harvey, the Refreshments, Cracker, Magnapop, Tracy Bonham, Elastica, RHCP, Dada, tub thumping song, oasis, throwing muses, Harvey danger, Bettie Seervert, Lush, etc…
Oh, and Luscious Jackson! Lol
Some songs on here I've never heard of, so never got to forget they were awesome. Most of the songs on here I've heard, and never forgot they were awesome.
Lightning crashes by live. Such an amazing and beautiful song
Great list! I was fortunate enough to have been able to see most of these bands live back in the ‘90s. What a decade!
Seether and Plowed are my jam! Pardon Me and My Own Worst Enemy are up there too. The entire City Of Angels soundtrack is good.
Thank you for including Cranberries 'Free to Decide'! I've always loved it & wished it got more appreciation...
Even though it’s overplayed up the wazoo “Kryptonite” by Three Doors Down is probably my favorite 90’s rock song.
That I argree. It's insane how many times I hear it on the radio In my truck.
Was that 90s or very early 2000?

It's funny, in the 90s, I wouldn't be caught dead listening to Hanson, Backstreet Boys or Len (Steal My Sunshine was overplayed the day it dropped) but now? I turn the radio up and remember my wonderfully wasted youth.
Ah, we had such good experimental music back then! 😍
I loved these songs in high school and I use to play these at the bar in my 20's. I know play them for my kids...great songs. I love my 90's playlist!
Possum kingdom-toadies
The waters edge-seven Mary three
Silvergun Superman-stp
Anything by
ALICE IN CHAINS!!
Silver gin Superman is one my favorites by step!!!! Excellent album
Take me back to the 90s and leave there for good.
I'm really surprised that the song called "If You Could Only See" by Tonic didn't make it on this list of 1990s songs.
Surprisingly good list! STP's first 2 albums are iconic but they had later albums that went unrecognized and No.4 was brilliant. SPONGE!!! One of my all-time faves. Their discography is all over the place- in the best way. New Pop Sunday should've been a huge success. Such a shame they were overlooked by the media and listeners. Dinosaur Jr. has some of the best guitar work out there but I can understand people not liking the vocals. And look at how many female-fronted bands there were! So much amazing music. I miss the 90's...
Here for Garbage!! Huge fan!!
How could I have forgotten these songs when I've never heard him in the first, other than a couple of them
@16:50 Shirley Manson one of the most gorgeous woman in my book, the doll face the green eyes red hair w t f😂
Don't forget her Scottish accent. The total package!
Pardon me,black balloon,own worst enemy,take my picture,inside out,what it's like,sex and candy and jumper have been on my Playlist for over 22 years ❤
Most of the songs here never left my playlist 😊
I'll never forget What it's like- Everlast it plays on my Spotify often to this day, it just hits all the feels
Filter had another hit with "Hey Man Nice Shot"
Still listen to a lot of these song still today and more... The 90's had some of the Best music...
You failed to mention rock and roll hall of fame legend Trent Reznor who was on and sang with David Bowie in “I’m afraid of American’s.” David and Trent brought out the best in one another. It’s too bad we won’t see another video with them together again. R.I.P. David Bowie ❤️💔❤️🎶🎤🎸
You need to find them doing a duet of NIN's Hurt. May not be as great as Johnny Cash's version, but it is amazing none the less.
Still never forget listening to 80’s and 90’s music listen to them all the time with my mom and dad I have a full playlist for both as well
Shirley Manson is an awesome
I'm GEN-X....served in the military 2992-2000 I may or may not have drank alot of alcohol, deployed several times, but didn't forget the music we listened to at the time, this music, 70s, 80s 50s, 60s....all great to get US through, the SUCK
Was hoping Fastball’s “The Way”, “Out Of My Head” or “Fire Escape” would be on here but there’s so much good music from back than you’d probably have to do a top 50 eventually
Yes fire escape was good and the video lol
no one forgot the way by fastball cuz it's on every other wm list about 90's rock. still gets played on the radio too. not sure why Lit are on here either or Eve 6
@@dannyaraya8017Agreed. “My own worst enemy” is still huge. I karaoke “Inside Out” and people always know it.
Garbage is one of the most underrated bands of all time. Far too many people "never heard of them" these days, but almost everyone knows at least one of their songs when you start playing their biggest hits or any of their songs which were used in movies. (That "oh, they did that song!?" moment.)
1999 was one of the best years in music
🙄 😏 🥴
No Silverchair? _Freak_ was awesome!
Wish they would get back together… I liked the later albums with tracks like greatest view and young modern as well as the first three albums
Man, a blast from the past!! This was my whole childhood!
Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground is my favourite song from them, and anyone that have not heard this song, have probably not heard of the band. Also, I do not know how people can forget Only Happy When It Rains, since they have played it in recent movies like Captain Marvel.
Thank you for this, WatchMojo. As a Malaysian, haven't heard some of these songs since my college years in Connecticut. Brought me back to a real good time in my life !!
No Presidents Of The United States?! Peaches, Kitty or Lump?!
How are they forgotten
Liz Phair!!!! That C.D. rocked!
I still listen to her at age 65😊
I hope there's some PJ Harvey on here
Ive never forgotten Shirley manson easily one of the sexiest women on the planet, and one of the most recognisable voices
IT'S A MIDLIFE CRISIS! ♪♫
I still love to listen to some of my favorite 90s rock songs such as Uninvited, What it's like, and Sex and Candy
As piracy effectively defunded the entire music industry down to it's bare minimum (live performance) the 90's was the very last time music was a major player in artistic expression. The 90's were the last time a musician can experiment without financial insecurity. That's why ever since pop hybrids of music genres has emerged as the overwhelming available genre of music.
The nostalgia is real ❤
Some great songs and great memories. Even brooke up in the 90's, a few of these were new to me. A few other favorites skilful be:
"So Much for the Afterglow" Everclear
"We Are the Normal" and "Eyes Wide Open" Goo Goo Dolls
"Lost Cause" Oleander
"This Is Shangri-la" Mother Love Bone
"Celebrity Skin" Hole
The golden age of kick ass, rock female leads.
These are still what's in my daily driver spotify playlist. The newer stuff just didnt drum the beat for me. 90s rock and the early 2000s was peak music for me.
In the Meantime by Spacehog
Thanks! I'm still listening and love Garbage, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Bowie, Faith No More and L7. The great musicians, think. 90s was good for music, like 80s too.
I would’ve liked to have seen 311 make an appearance here.
As a rock fan in the 90s i never forget most of these songs in the list.. still on my playlist in my phone..
