VH1 recently aired, "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s." I loved it. As someone who LOVES musics and who spent my middle school, high school, and college years in the 90s, it was very nostalgic. I agreed with a lot of VH1's choices, but I felt that they left off a few songs (I was shocked they didn't include any Blink 182, Dave Matthews Band, or Nine Inch Nails!!) and I would have slightly rearranged the order. Here are my 20 most memorable songs from the 90s:
- Pearl Jam "Jeremy" (#11 on VH1's list)
- Blink 182 "All the Small Things" (not included on VH1's list)
- Dave Matthews Band "Crash Into Me" (not included on VH1's list)
- Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (not included on VH1's list)
