90s Radio Shit Pop

[Dead Nigga Storage]

My friend and I are trying to make the ultimate list of 90s pop/radio crap (though not all songs are necessarily bad, nor is "90s" the definite cut off point, we don't care if you're off by a year or 2) solely from the top of our heads.

I can't believe it took this long in the thread, for someone to suggest this.

[kelly]

true story: I had jewel's pieces of you on tape, and i wore it out because i listened to it too much.

also, and i dont think this has been mentioned yet, for shame,

natalie imbruglia: torn

best song to sing in the back of my then best friend's mom's minivan at the age of 12-13 EVER.

I must admit, I actually like that Seal song. The rest only brings back memories of when I was a kid, especially that damn Barbie Girl song, which should have been forgotten.
Can't think of any others at the moment...

LEN- Steal My Sunshine
Natalie Imbruglia- Torn
Vitamin C- Smile, Graduation
Mighty Mighty Bostones- Impression that I Get
Toni Braxton- Unbreak My Heart

I still can't escape those...

[SideshowTim]

i can't believe no one has mentioned 'i'm too sexy' by right said fred yet!

[Dead Nigga Storage]

probably because everyone else is too sexy for that song.

[Veryjammy]

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Britney yet.

And some odd choices of song, although it may just be the difference in UK and US radio. For example Semisonic's Closing Time did nothing over here, but Secret Smile was pretty big. Likewise Sixpence None The Richer's version of There She Goes did nothing but Kiss Me did. And I couldn't tell you how Coolio's 1, 2, 3, 4 went but Gangsta's Paradise was massive.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

britney's stuff isn't the kind of music i really had in mind for this list, but if you wanna rattle off some songs of her's, go for it.

"Kiss Me" and "Gangsta's Paradise" were huge over here, too. Dangerous Minds probably was twice as big as it should have been because of that song. I just left it out by mistake, but went with the amazing lyrics of "1, 2, 3, 4" instead:

ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
GET YOUR WOMAN ON THE FLOOR
GOTTA GOTTA GET UP TO GET DOWN
GOTTA GOTTA GET UP TO GET DOWN

[Larson Something]

Nah, All That She Wants is where it's at. "When she woke up late in the morning light, and the day had just begun, she opened up her eyes and thought, 'Oh, what a morning!'" is clearly the greatest lyric ever written.

uh no. that's haddaway - what is love?

i have once again crossed over my shitty 90s dance music. :(

man, "please don't go", "what is love?", and "where do you go?" are too much alike.

I guess I'm just confused as to what this thread is about. It seemed like a random list of pop songs that were big in the 90s and people have mentioned Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls...

[Dr Zaius]

Why you gotta play that song so loud?!

Coz we want to!!
Coz we want to!!

[pat]

Cracker - Get Off This? (can't remember if that was their biggest hit)
i'd go with either "low" or "teen angst (what the world needs now)" as being their biggest hits.

[My Little Needle]

wow, the 90's were awesome.

dunno if this has been said yet but

I would walk fivehundredmiles and ah-I would walk fivehundredmore

[Dead Nigga Storage]

I guess I'm just confused as to what this thread is about. It seemed like a random list of pop songs that were big in the 90s and people have mentioned Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls...you''ll also notice that the vast majority of them were of a one hit wonder variety with only a small number of exceptions. backstreet boys, nysnc, britney, etc. were all too commercialized and were sorta "post-everything-i-have-listed-already".

[IdRathaHavaBeer]

my hold music at work sounds like save tonight.

regulators is the best song of the 90's.

[aoife]

true story: I had jewel's pieces of you on tape, and i wore it out because i listened to it too much.
I still love you Kelly, and you have to come out to NYC again. :thumbsup

edit: oh.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

we were trying to forget

[kupomog]

Talking Pie said Macarena yesterday...
(http://member.php?u=12242)

[Curtis]

I wouldn't consider No Rain by Blind Melon shit pop, thats a really good song.

[billi vanilli]

(though not all songs are necessarily bad, nor is "90s" the definite cut off point, we don't care if you're off by a year or 2)

[Dead Nigga Storage]

says mr. "foo fighters are better than the beatles"

edit: and what navin said that i said.

[My Little Needle]

today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

[mr. broom]

says mr. "foo fighters are better than the beatles"
It doesn't make him wrong. "No Rain" isn't an awful song. It got played to hell for a good long while, but it still holds up. Great album, really.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

eh, for once i'll say 'to each his own'. but the point was more that, even if someone was saying that the song was shit pop (which, as navin pointed out, was never the entire point of the thread as i said in my description), curtis, with his infamous taste in music has little or no room to criticize someone for not liking a song that isn't exactly lauded in music circles anyway.

Pink - Get the party started.

I believe that one came along in the early "00s" but to me, definitely shit pop.

[caribou]

Hey, have we really gone this far without mentioning Savage Garden?

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply, do
I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

[skittlebrau]

!!!!!! thank you skittle!
Hey, no prob'. "I Wish" should be included on all 90's compilations, good or bad.

[TransponderHut]

In my opinion, Top 40 radio died in December 1998 when this song was released:
Britney Spears - Baby, One More Time
Even back then I thought that Britney was lame.

Others for the list:

Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It
OMC - How Bizarre (I always get these guys mixed up with 80s group OMD. OMC, OMD, OCD, ADD... whatever)
That chick that sang 'Mouth'...
Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever
Celine Dion - It's All Coming Back to Me Now
Amanda Marshall - Birmingham
Vitamin C - Smile

I know, they've been mentioned in other posts, but it's my list.

I remember one radio station in the area that kept getting requests for the "Blackstreet Boys". I guess they decided that Blackstreet turned into a pop boy group.

WTF? I actually like Savage Garden, and if nobody else does, then screw them. Anyway, how could anyone forget this one;

The Spice Girls - Wannabe.

Oh, and the Macarena, I forget who sang that.

^ It was Los Del Rio who did it if I'm not mistaken.

I agree with you about Brit but I think it died a few months earlier when TRL premiered.

Silverchair - Tomorrow


Thats not pop at all?

[Dead Nigga Storage]

My friend and I are trying to make the ultimate list of 90s pop/radio crap
you didn't make the goddamn thread, curtis.

[Ihaveblink]

OMC - How Bizarre

Really liked this song when I was young.

Robyn - Show Me Love

[caribou]

Couple more:

Local H - "Bound for the Floor"

Im with you. class band that produced quality pop. To The Moon And Back is one of my favourite songs ever.

[Reverend Lovejoy]

Good for you.

[Curtis]

This song is not shit and I like it (especially kick ass acoustic version) but "Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighters was overplayed alot in 99-00'.

[Ignignot]

Feed the Tree- Belly

[Semaj]

R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly

[phil]

fuel - shimmer
7 merry (mary?) 3 - cumbersome
marcy playground - sex and candy
white town - your woman
(along the same lines) space - the female of the species
sugar ray - fly

[box elder]

"i would swallow my pride, i would choke on the rinds but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside. i would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing. i want to put my tender heart in a blender watch it spin around into a beautiful oblivion. rendezvous then i'm through with you"

-worst lyrics ever.


(edit: "closing time, one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer. closing time, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. i know who i want to take me home" comes in a close second.)

[Curtis]

Well if you want to talk about weird lyrics this song probably takes the cake althogh once again I still think its kick ass but it was also overplayed.

Foo Fighters - This is a Call

Visiting is pretty
Visiting is good
Seems that all they ever wanted was a brother

This can be a secret
We can keep it good
Even all the ever wanting had a problem

This is a call to all my
Past resignations
It’s been too long

Fingernails are pretty
Fingernails are good
Seems that all they ever wanted was a marking

Them balloons are pretty big
And say they should
Ever fall to ground
Call the magic marker

This is a call to all my
Past resignations
This is a call to all
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
It’s been too long

Minicyn is pretty
Minicyn is good
Seems that all the cysts and mollusks tend to barter

Ritalin is easy
Ritalin is good
Even all the ones
Who watered down the daughter

[My Little Needle]

yeah definitely the weirdest lyrics i've ever heard

[Dead Nigga Storage]

any chance to plug the foo fighters in some way or another. we get it. you like the band.

[mr. broom]

WE WERE MERELY FRESHMEN

[Talking Pie]

Baz Luhrman - Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen

I'm surprised this song wasn't used for my HS graduation (c/o 99) since it came out around that time especially since Green Day's Time of Your Life was used for the previous class year of my high school. Instead, my class got (surprise...a 90's song!) Desree's You Gotta Be.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

our class didn't even have a song. or maybe it did...what the hell did it mean to have a class "song"? did they play it during graduation, or what?

[caribou]

Our class song was pretty much only used for the centerpiece dance at the senior prom. We got to vote on it. It was between The Beatles' "In My Life" or that goddamn song from Dirty Dancing. You know the one. Suffice it to say, Swayze and Jeanie Bueller were burning up the dance floor come May. It later came out that all the popular girls had actually stuffed the ballot box so that that song would win out. Boy, high school is obnoxious.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

sounds like our prom where the cheer squad and other such douchebags always made sure to crowd the DJ all night so the same 10-15 songs were played constantly. what a great night.

[phil]

our grad song was vanessa william's 'save the best for last'

[Gabbo]

our's was yellowcard's miles away.

ugh.

[Ihaveblink]

I think our class song was a lifehouse song.

I win.

[box elder]

class song? i'm with DNS on this one: totally baffled.

[Curtis]

Our class song is Nickelback - Photograph, now that is radio shit.

[jim beam]

there was some alanis morrissette song where she was pissed off at david coulier for ruining their relationship. forgot the name.

nelly furtado. any song from her. lisa loeb(who is hot btw), etc. etc.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

Our class song is Nickelback - Photograph, now that is radio shit.you know, alot of people consider the foo "omg warned"s to be radio shit, too...right? you don't have a huge platform to be speaking from here.

Thats speculation on your part. They have lasted longer than most alternative rock bands, they didn't do it by sucking.

http://canales.elcorreodigital.com/evasion/musica/fotos/dave_grohl.jpg
Those are grammy's, they mean something. I dont want to sidetrack this thread either so if you want to discuss this with me do it on AIM.

My Name Is - Eminem was radio shit, first few times you hear it its ok but damn it got overplayed and really isnt that good.

[pat]

Those are grammy's, they mean something.
no they don't. they really, really don't.

[Talking Pie]

no they don't. they really, really don't.

You're right,Pat. Just ask Milli Vanilli or Celine Dion.

[phil]

don't forget the grammy award winning heavy metal act jethro tull

[mr. broom]

Thats speculation on your part.

Once again, learn English. You think he's assuming that a lot of people think FF are radio shit. You don't think he's speculating. It means something different.

To add to the anti-Grammy dogpile: Maroon 5 won the Best New Artist Grammy two years after their debut album premiered. They don't even care about what "new" means, much less "best."

[gravymaster]

don't forget the grammy award winning heavy metal act jethro tull
First concert I ever went to was Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson sounded like he drank a bottle of whiskey and smoked a carton of cigs before stepping on stage.

[Talking Pie]

Maroon 5 won the Best New Artist Grammy two years after their debut album premiered.

Also, Fountains of Wayne were nominated in that category 7 years after their 1996 debut. They were nominated for an Oscar for That Thing You Do! back in the 90's for crying out loud!

[Curtis]

Lump by Presidents of the United States of America has yet to be mentioned.

[Maggaggie]

Da Da Da - Trio was from 1982!

500 Miles - Proclaimers was also in the 80s...it was just made popular again coz of the early 90s movie "Benny & Joon"

Here's one I didn't see listed: "Believe" by Cher (I think from about 1998)

[phil]

Lump by Presidents of the United States of America has yet to be mentioned.

wrong again

[Reverend Lovejoy]

nelly furtado. any song from her.

Well, damn, I like her too. :angry:

[Kuje]

snow - informer

in FO MA e no sega namu sna mumumu mey ma, a leeky boom boom meh

Bahahaha.

Also, I just read the entire thread and downloaded all the great songs. Which amount to about 30% of those mentioned. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, a bad thing, or merely a thing. Keep it up though.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i'm sorry, i skipped out for a little bit...but did curtis just attempt to justify the foo fighters' claim to legitimacy by citing the fact that they won grammys?

you just lost the argument, buddy.

[Talking Pie]

Jesus Jones - Right Here,Right Now

[brockman1988]

Mustn't forget the "Modern Rock" scene:
-Bush - Comedown
