Closer by NIN is my top choice, followed by November Rain. Id have to think about it past that

What are your top choices?

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.

it was eclipsed by tlc's waterfalls.

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.

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.

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.

if you had issues with the 1991 release, you will definitely not like 2011 version.

im not sure i could ever pick it out on its own, but side by side the 2011 version sounds like it is playing through a pillow
