[Music]
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be taking a
look at songs from the 90s that may no
longer get the credit they deserve but
have aged so so well
[Music]
number 10 how bizarre OMC you may have
forgotten all about this New Zealand
band but you’re sure to recognise this
hit as soon as that familiar guitar riff
starts propelling OMC from relative
obscurity to international success how
bizarre charted in multiple countries
around the world
[Music]
with its catchy laid-back beat the song
spread like wildfire however the band
like many of the others you’ll see on
this list proved to be a one-hit wonder
never really replicated their initial
success and sadly in time both band and
song became largely overlooked number
nine in the mean time space hog
[Music]
despite being an awesome nighty song
this glam rock jam hearkened back to the
70s and 80 stylings of Queen and David
Bowie it dominated the charts and
appeared in a number of mediums from its
release until the end of the 90s
[Applause]
however space hog was not meant to last
into the new millennium they broke up in
2002 and their popularity slowly faded
away nevertheless space hog completed a
successful reunion in 2008 and has
released two more albums since then
giving us a bit more of their awesome
sound
[Music]
number eight bound for the floor local
age
we could hardly be forgiven if we did a
list of awesome 90s music and didn’t
include at least one post French song
arguably one of the most popular songs
of the venue genre was this hit from the
group of high school friends termed rock
stars
[Music]
while both the song and the sub-genre as
a whole have received a much less
airtime over the years the post-grunge
movement which was kicked off with songs
like bound for the floor was a crucial
part of the alternative rocks rise the
song is emblematic of post-grunge
combining grunge attitudes and sounds
with influences of a variety of other
genres
[Music]
number seven ready to go Republica
the nineties brought with it a plethora
of excellent punk rock acts with
commanding female lead vocals and this
gem was one of the best lead singer
saffron’s slick vocals certainly helped
the song stand out and add it to the
overall fast-paced and energetic feel of
the track while the song grew in
popularity after being featured in a
number of commercials and TV shows it
faded somewhat from the forefront after
the 90s due to perhaps the Republicans
long hiatus from 2001 to 2008 number six
crush Jennifer Paige
[Music]
[Applause]
it’s not difficult to see why this
relatable and catchy song became one of
the most popular songs of the year
reaching number three on Billboard’s Top
100 describing an infatuation that she
says is just a passing crush cage seems
to hint at a bit of denial in her lyrics
[Applause]
perhaps her feelings may actually go
deeper than she is willing to admit
while she continued to release a number
of successful songs Paige never again
reached the popularity of crush
[Music]
number five my own worst enemy lit after
struggling to find an audience and land
a major label for their first album lit
was able to sign with RCA due to the
strength of their sophomore effort of
place in the Sun with the release of my
own worst enemy the band became an
overnight success the pop punk sound and
introspective lyrics of the track made
at one of the biggest songs of the year
and a number of successful singles from
the album follow the band’s next album
signaled a bit of change of direction
which while praised by critics is being
more mature was not as popular with fans
[Music]
one must and
and before seven seconds you soon the
door featuring na cherry
at sea it shouldn’t come as a surprise
at a collaboration from one of Africa’s
most prolific musicians you soon adore
and popular Swedish singer Nene cherry
was a huge international hit
further adding to its worldwide appeal
was that a combination of English French
and wool of a West African language were
employed to deliver its message
addressing prejudice while in the door
remains popular especially in his native
Senegal he never again had an
international hit on the level of seven
seconds
[Music]
number three laid james although the
band formed in the early 80s james only
hit their stride after retooling their
lineup at the decades end
riding a number of hits including come
down and she’s a star the band became
popular on both sides of the Atlantic in
the 1990s and it didn’t take long for
lay to become a hit on college radio
stations in the US
however the risque lyrics and subject
matter caused it to be censored in the
US and has not received a much play
outside of alternative rock stations
other james songs have had more staying
power with their hits sit-down featured
in a promo for the seventh season of
Game of Thrones
[Music]
[Music]
– a beautiful oblivion
number two inside out ‘if six hailing
from Southern California if six arrived
on the scene at the tail end of the 90s
for the last few years of the decade
their songs most notably inside out
dominated the airway
[Music]
playing on a number of late-night talk
shows and with the video frequently
featured on MTV the band’s fame exploded
unfortunately this would prove to be
their undoing as stress from their rapid
success cause psychological problems and
strife between members causing the band
to break up halting their rapid rise
[Music]
[Applause]
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
break it up
[Music]
number one the way fastball the way is
one of the finest alternative rock
tracks of the 1990s as well as one of
the most emblematic different from many
of the outright dreary ultra
compositions offered throughout the
decade the way features a distinct sound
[Music]
although the story told over the course
of the song seems tragic it is offset
nicely by the upbeat nature of the
chorus
[Music]
this and songs liked it paved the way
for an explosion of alternative broth in
the next few years
sadly the same genre would also eclipsed
the popularity of fast balls hit though
the way song lost airtime it never
seemed to fade in popularity when this
track comes across the radio god help
anyone who tries to change the station
