DRC Madness #42

[Channel98]

Other 1990s Canadian artists are Snow (Darrin O'Brien), Bryan Adams, Alanis Morissette, Jann Arden, Sarah McLachlan, Tal Bachman, Len, Barenaked Ladies, Our Lady Peace, the Tragically Hip.....and Chantal Kreviazuk, who had eight top-40 hits and three top tens in Canada but her only U.S. Hot 100 hit was Surrounded, which charted for only one week, January 31 1998, at #74. It reached #19 on the Adult Top 40 chart in that same week.

As of now I have close to 250 songs from the 90s that I need to rank. Plus my old iPod helped me out. I burned quite a few CDs to stored on it.

The songs on my list sort of makes that Billboard #1s a joke now.

 

[sadchild]

My top 20 of the 90s (that charted):

1. Nine Inch Nails "Hurt"
2. Tool "Prison Sex"
3. REM "Losing My Religion"
4. Metallica "The Unforgiven"
5. Faith No More "Epic"
6. Billy Falcon "Power Windows"
7. Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus"
8. Cure "Friday I'm In Love"
9. Big Audio Dynamite "Rush"
10. Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (can I make another prediction of who's gonna win this madness?...)
11. Positive K "I Got A Man"
12. Goo Goo Dolls "Name"
13. Depeche Mode "Enjoy The Silence"
14. Cure "Pictures Of You" (the rest of the singles from my fav album of all time charted in 1989)
15. Biz Markie "Just A Friend"
16. LL Cool J "Around The Way Girl"
17. Marc Cohn "Walking In Memphis"
18. Tool "Sober"
19. Jesus And Mary Chain "Head On"
20. Dream Theater "Pull Me Under"

I checked that these all charted in the 90s in the US (Hot 100, Rock, Rap, Alt, etc), even if it charted in both 1989 and going into 1990. But in case any get disqualified....

21. Joshua Kadison "Jesse"
22. King's X "Dogman"
23. Gin Blossoms "Hey Jealousy"
24. Counting Crows "Round Here"
25. King Missile "Detachable Penis" (my #40 song of the 90s, my #119 song of all time)

I am not going to be checking every song. If someone challenges it and you can successfully argue it was released in the 1990s (and did not chart) or show it on some chart in the 1990s I am good.

Also, I picked 20 songs out of my ass. Give me as many as you want to rank and I will enter them.

 

[scotchandcigar]

I picked 20 songs out of my ass.

I guess that technically, they'd all be #2s.

 

[Wolf]

Also, I picked 20 songs out of my ass.

OMG, Doug, I bet this was one of those songs you pulled out of your ass.

 

[Aaron]

20 songs or unlimited?

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

20 songs or unlimited?

Unlimited.

 

[Channel98]

Then here is an appropriate 1990s song. Get Ready For This by 2 Unlimited charted twice on the Hot 100. It peaked at #76 on the October 10 1992 chart and #38 on the April 8 1995 chart.

45. Ben Folds Five "Brick"

I love Ben Folds, but that's an instant channel changer for me.

 

[sadchild]

I know a few people on here feel that way. But it hits me in the feels. I mean, heavy topic

 

[scotchandcigar]

I mean, heavy topic

Yeah, it's certainly no MmmBop.

 

[Aaron]

Don’t think I know “Brick” just listened to it on YouTube and it didn’t sound familiar.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Don’t think I know “Brick” just listened to it on YouTube and it didn’t sound familiar.

It's the abortion song.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I have grabbed the lists posted. When I like the post, I have grabbed it. I would ask future posters a favour. Please post your song in the format:
Artist "Song Title"
If you present it in order you do not have to provide a leading number in front. Also If you can refrain from commentary inside the list.

This will make my life easier. If any of you who have already given me only 20 want to expand just post your extentions and I will assume they start at 21.

We may be able to do a 128 song madness. We have 148 songs and I haven't even done mine yet.

 

[Aaron]

Thoughts on including “Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac? Written in the 1970s but released and charted in the 1990s

I don't see an issue. If that is disallowed, I don't see how we can allow hits from a certain foursome who disbanded in 1970 either.

 

[Wolf]

I was feeling good about my '90s list until I saw sadchild's list. There were a few artists I didn't even think of. Now I've added them to my ever growing list.

 

[Channel98]

I listed 20 songs. Here are 21 through 30 – but having to use quotation marks instead of italics goes against my journalistic instincts.

R.E.M. "Man On The Moon"
Crash Test Dummies "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"
Ace Of Base "Beautiful Life"
Phil Collins "Something Happened On The Way To Heaven"
Jewel "Hands"
Madonna "This Used To Be My Playground"
Reba McEntire "The Greatest Man I Never Knew"
George Strait "Check Yes Or No"
Hootie & The Blowfish/David Crosby "Hold My Hand"
Sister Hazel "All For You"
