I personally consider the '90s a poor decade msucially, and I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Seriously, as someone who grew up in the 80s, and remembers the 70ss, I can only say the 90s were the least evil decade for music so far.
Several quality bands (RHCP, RATM, Nirvana, Beasty Boys) from various kinds of music really had a lot of success and airplay...you haven't had that before. With the possible exception of some early Stones/Mid-Beatles/Kinks.
Success and quality was mutually exclusive in the 80s and 70s.
In that decades, you could only revert to 60s or even older songs, Hardrock and Punk. EVERYTHING else sucked.

What are Green Day and Rancid other than the Clash minus all those chords?

Ok, admittedly the GD of 10 years ago were a nice band. But today?

Still brainstorming...

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I never really listened to music in the 90s...

 

[stormbind]

Vague memory returning... Candy Man

I probably would not put them on my list but Ace of Base, Aqua and Houston aren't too bad *stealth mode exit...*

[punkbass2000]

Wow, that's weird to see so many different bands have a song with the same title.

[nonconformist]

I am being forced, yes, forced itno choosing these soings, as the vast majority of my music is from the 80's/70's etc.

Meatloaf?
REM?
Libertines?
Oasis?

 

[Rambuchan]

Meatloaf?

[stormbind]

I used to like Meatloaf. I just seemed to like everything though

Special linky (1998). I do not care if nobody else has the courage to admit it's pretty darn good
