The Worst Song of the '90s

"Dur dur d'être un bébé" was everywhere on the French Canadia radio in 92', F*** that song!

This is amazing, thank you

What you're saying is true, but the song actually got the majority of its airplay after the two bands had become famous and the record label realized they had (essentially) a Pearl Jam/Soundgarden collab in their catalog and re-issued the song.

This setup is probably gonna be close to what they do for GOTY so hopefully all the audio issues can be ironed out by the time they record.

This is the kind of premium content I live for.

@ciddative: Brad pulling another Skyrim again.
I hope there will be part 2

Can't wait for part 2, temple of dog is garbage and should be higher

Man I was looking forward to this feature and it really really under-delivers, to the point I'm not even sure its worth watching. Its not a pod-cast for one thing (why ever not? Why is this not on the premium feed that the hotspot is a part of?) But also, like, you can't just put this on in the background and listen too it, they don't let the songs play at a loud enough volume to be heard and recognized, let alone loud enough to be heard over them all talking.

Like, unless you know all the songs they mention already by title or music video alone (and only by title if your not watching the video/leaving it on in the background), you've got to what? Pause the video every-time they mention a song and go lookup the song/video on youtube to listen too it for yourself/remember what it was?

I am sure this was a lot of fun to do, but holy hell the format is abysmal in terms of viewer experience/quality. If you had a list of "How to make this feature suck to listen too for the majority of your audience" they checked off a dozen different boxes on that bingo card.

I want to like this, I really do. I want to love it. And kudos to all the people who can enjoy it. But hot damn.

OMC's How Bizarre is top three and I kept expecting it to come up

The fact that Wear Sunscreen didn't outright "win" this is despicable.

This is truly premium content. Thank you. That said, the lack of Cherry Poppin' Daddies needs to be addressed with the next update.

Needs more Cotton Eyed Joe by Rednex and Justified & Ancient by the KLF. The early 90's were bananas. You're welcome!

Savage Garden was the first band I got into that wasn't something I heard because my parents listened to it, so this is really breaking my heart.

Need volume up on music. Couldn't hear half of the songs

spent this entire video afraid that someone would come for Groove Is in the Heart

This was extremely good. In the sequel please pump the music volume up slightly so you can hear more of it.

Also, there is nothing better than racing down the highway with "Creed - Higher" on blast.

Looking forward??? to when they inevitably get to the 00s and I may actually be offended by what they decide to trash.

Totally agree with Jeff that Butterfly is "good". Also am now forever disturbed by whatever the fuck that Jordy song was, so thanks Alex! :^D

Wow, no 'What's Going On' by 4 Non Blondes yet? That's Top 10 right there.

Gotta add Tubthumping and Steal my Sunshine

oh man Summer Girls by LFO...I rediscovered (as in as a small child I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio/my older sister maybe playing it back then) that song a few years ago. I love the absolutely insanely bad lyrics to that song. They are abstract but in the worst and dumbest way possible. I get why it is hated, but few songs have ever made me laugh harder than that shit has.

I should've submitted Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. One of the worst songs ever, probably my first ever memory of actively disliking something in life.

also Wild Wild West by Will Smith is "bad" but in the way that most songs from that era of Big Will are like Freakin' It, Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, and Miami. It's a super silly, blandly slick production pop rap song that's dumb fun. So much better than interminable shit like Cherry Pie, which takes a very specific mood to... not completely hate.

I think we're definitely missing Barbie Girl by Aqua. Sublime surely needs to be there too.

Achy Breaky Heart is a better song than Man in the Box by Alice in Chains.

Could use some Rage against the Machine, Bulls on Parade or Guerilla Radio.

ok... pumped these into Spotify, and boy they really know what they were going for..

Where's MMMBop?

The 90s were a mistake, good god. Creed is an ass band so is Crazytown.

Best series all year

That is because it's a documentary on Vinny's life.

I genuinely enjoy the Gillette record.

*psst* EVERY decade has terrible music. At least I can fairly accurately speak for 80s 90s and 00s. Every deecade also has unassailable classic songs and bands.

That said, FUCK Steal My Sunshine even if it does have a link to Broken Social Scene. *double birds*

Went into this hoping Summer Girls would be a runaway number 1 and so far they’re not letting me down. LFO violated the Geneva Convention releasing that piece of utter trash.

This is the greatest piece of content I’ve ever witnessed. Give us more!

When I was at college I worked as an usher at my college's performing arts center and Bryan Adams played there, and multiple drunk oldsters puked in the aisles. It was sick.

I was gifted the Jordy song not once, but twice. Once as a cassette single, once the full album. iirc, it had all the songs once in French and once in English? Anyway, yeah. Weird thing that Amoeba happily bought from me, so who knows where those are now.

Where can we put in suggestions? I really want to put in Vitamin C - Smile.

Barbie Girl and MMM bop need to be somewhere on this list for part 2, but I'm not sure anything could dethrone summer girls.

Butterfly is a terrible song but I find it's level of terrible oddly charming

I really enjoyed this show, despite the fact I didn't recognize anyone beyond Van Halen and a few others, none of who I followed then.

Please turn up the music next time, so that my stomach may truly become unsettled.

Pig song rocked.

Prediction. I will at minimum find every song on this list acceptable and probably love many of them.

Indeed, Achtung Baby is brilliant, and Zooropa is a bit crazy and interesting, but also beautiful, ex:

That classic tune, Ordinary People, by Mush.

Common People, by Pulp.

I don't hate that Green Jello song. The riff in that song is catchy.

Yes indeed - the residuals from Steal My Sunshine helped pay for the making of Feel Good Lost by BSS.

4 non blondes ”whats going on?” not on the list? Wut?! Thats the 90s song I hate the most with a passion.

This was amazing, please do MORE!! :)

Hot take-- River of Dreams might be the ONLY tolerable Billy Joel song.

I've only heard of maybe 3 of these songs.

As a kid who turned 10 in ’92 I can confirm the 90’s was in fact the worst decade, not just for music but also fashion and hairstyles. I don’t know why, but when I think of the ‘90’s I think of white plastic. I feel like everything was made of white plastic and everything sounded like white plastic. Yellowing white plastic with a bowl cut wrapped in a Global Hypercolor t-shirt.

My Console made it! P-L-A-Y-S-T-A-T-I-O-N!

It's far too catchy and silly.
