The song that encapsulates the 90s

NBK and I were debating which song most defines the music of the 90s. I submit that it is Fastball's The Way. NBK posits that is Life is a Highway by the Lunatic Fringe Guy.

  1. Although STP's Interstate Love Song is a personal fave, I have to go w/ Smells Like Teen Spirit for 200, T Spot.

  2. Ah Interstate LS is in fact a wonder, and of course Teen Spirit is priceless, but it I think is more a song of the 90s that might have been rather than the 90s that were.

  3. Point taken. Then I offer you the ne plus ultra of bubble gum complaint rock:

    The World I Know by Collective Soul.

  4. Nicely done.

    May I also submit an option from one of the most 90s of people, Scott Stapp.

    I speak of course of.....

    What's this Life For

    In the perfectly-named "Bubblegum Complaint Rock" vein, I might offer up: "Anything Anything" by Dramarama.

  6. Very nice. How can one forget the "I'll give you anything you want...hundred dollar bills?"

  7. let it be known that the suggestion of 'life is a highway' doesn't mean i like the song. i'd have to say that dr. dre and snoop 'nuthin' but a g thang' is the most 90's. or maybe 'it was(wuz?) a good day' by ice cube. and i do love those songs.
