Nostalgia is one of the best and worst feelings 🥹✨

[tazmon]

here's a wild thought. 1993 was 30yrs ago this year. in 1993, 1963 was 30yrs ago that year. same year as Surfin' USA by the Beach Boys. the weird mix of feel good nostalgia, and the grim depression of age you feel listening to these songs, remembering are completely similar feelings that many artists on this list felt when these songs were coming out

[RodMunch]

90s had by far the most varied music, you had everything: Rock, Grunge, Eurodance, HipHop, R´nB, Power Ballads, Pop... and Björk 😁. Not to mention the legends that still were active/dropped some memorable songs like MJ, Queen, AC/DC, Madonna, Aerosmith and Bee Gees. In addition new legends were born like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Roxette, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac or Nirvana. And we had two music stations in Germany with MTV and VIVA to witness it all. What an outstanding decade to spend my youth. *Nostalgia hits critical* 😪

[gabrielionut]

Hello there! The value of this music is gold! Peace and harmony to you all over the wide world!

[davidogan]

God I’m old. I still listen to these songs today.

[sunandthemoon]

Songs of Faith and Devotion! Love it!
Thank you Depeche Mode

[crucchino]

SRG thx a lot for the creation of those awesome 90's Eurodance Hits! Missing those awesome summer dance nights, che nostalgia.

[MelloMood]

WOW! 30 remember a lot of those songs 🎵🎵🎵🎶

[kelst]

Geez, thank you for making me feel old AF. I was 18, and it was a good time in music. I had many of these albums playing in my walkman.

[marcus]

I was in the 6th and 7th grades when this music hit the airwaves. So many of my favorite songs came out in '93 such as Shai's "Baby I'm Yours" and "Here We Go" by Stakka Bo.

[FFFGP]

I want to go back. It was a simpler, magical time that we took for granted while there- especially the music. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years.

[sandrad]

Crikey, I was 35 years old
when these songs were released, now Im soon to be flies 😪

[clearskies]

Lots of music from Automatic for the People by REM there....great album!

[hosswindu]

Livin on the Edge is probably one of Aerosmith's best - and most underrated - songs.

[jlr]

I still remember these like it was yesterday, wow how time flys

[carmelmhennessy]

Thank you for doing this. The year where I finished school and started in college. The happiest time in my life. Music was better then too.

[whenfatkillsfat]

Damn, I'm old. I was 12 years old for most of the year and turned 13 in October and started junior high that fall.

[gabrielionut]

This music make us to be Kind with each other! Thank you!

[lupowins]

I graduated High School in 1993 so this music was huge in my life then. Those were the days….

Damn, I’m old as rocks.
