There are better 90's pop songs, but I can't think of any that exemplify the style of the time as much as this one.

And The KLF's Stadium House trilogy never gets old.

Solid selections!

I think this was the song that made these Bro's main stream

This was the decade that I obsessed with trip hop... and these guys were the best of the bunch.... mmm Jahmaikhan Aroma

I've never heard a 90's pop song, not even one. Seriously.

Personally - and I mean for me only - 90s was all about this album. It sen't me on a whole new journey into music where music took on a new place in my mind. I know this was the tail end of the decade, but it was a "thing" for me.

Moby was huge for a time

And "Big beats" ruled the airwaves

Also ... in the 90s we seemed to get angry and ugly... and music videos were glorious

Sorry - I deviated far from pop...

I would consider both these songs pop. The 90s to me was when popular music became the most divergent. With boy bands, country, rap, R&B, soft rock, alt rock and metal all vying for Top50 Hits. I would put these two artists with smashing pumpkins in that goth/alt rock scene that was a pretty huge success. It was one of my least favorite decades as a rock and roll fan. At least there were a number of great female performances from Alanis, Sinead , bjork, Fiona, Annie Lennox among others IMO. To me the decade was notable as rap became the most popular genre of music surpassing rock.

Here’s a rock band that had a few good albums in the decade imo.
