The quintessential 90s pop song?
- Thread starter Count Arthur
- Start date
... too late to edit, but I meant to say Joey Waronker—aka Beck—is Anna's brother (she's not his brother, obviously :-(
Of course, there is never a quintessential tune for a decade, which is why people post a multiple songs. There might be individual songs that "take people back" to that time in their life, though...
My memory of the '90s is that I bought Pretty Hate Machine (don't be picky that the release date was late '89), then could find nothing new else worth listening to for the next couple of years, so played that CD a lot. This is a connected pair to open the album—an awesome segue between anger and frustration:

Oh.
So, perhaps not quintessential, but a pretty darned good '90s tune in that oh-so-cool yet hippy-dippy ambient mode of (e.g.,) Enya, but from a woman (a cellist, as it happens!) who actually has some flesh and blood kinda stuff goin' on.
Caroline LaVelle.
Got some LF stuff goin' on, to -- which may or may not be so apparent from the YT audio.

This other Sinead is nice but hardly iconic and representative of the 1990s.so -- I was gonna stick with the '80s thread, 'til I saw this post there:
"Recorded in 1990".
The quintessential 80s pop song?
I don't believe this has been posted, getting difficult to keep up. Addition to the tv & movie additions. Same movie, also a classic.
Well -- in that case, I'll just drop my own personal favorite Sinéad O'Connor tune over here in this thread!
I also quite like this cover she did for Two Rooms.
But...
in full disclosure.
She ain't my favorite Sinéad.
This is my favorite Sinéad -- and very much of the '90s:
... with more 90s esoterica.

My favorite decade of them all, by far
This thread proves how much did happen in music through the 90's.
From Massive Attack to Prodigy and Nirvana.
And still no mention of
tool, kyuss, monster magnet ..
The birth of black metal, trip hop, stoner rock, hip hop, rap metal like body count and RATM.. anything goes.. Moby and Cardigans and the whole of Manchester / brit pop masterpieces..
Oh, right.. Pop ..

I spent most of 1994 in an underground cold storage facility with nothing to relieve the monotony except horseplay and the radio. That's one of the songs that takes me right back there, another one is this:
