No one who grew up in this era forgot how awesome these songs are.

I love Garbage and Shirley Manson, I had no idea that people forgot that song. I haven't stopped listening this album and the band since the first time <3

L7's "Pretend We're Dead" and Republica's "Ready to Go" could absolutely have been on this list. Arguably, they're more undeservedly forgotten than some of the songs included here.

As someone who was in high school mid-late 90’s this list is so relatable. ‘Sex and Candy, ’ ‘Inside Out, ’ ‘Balloon’ and ‘Univited’ are definitely memorable.

The 90s gave us so many amazing bands and timeless songs. Let's not forget "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring. Talk about a song we can all relate to. I dare say most of us knew every single person mentioned in that song in our lives.

I happen to LOVE "Uninvited" and I am a Jagged Little Pill fan. Also "Popular" is a great 90s song!

39. I feel old now. Thanks. P.s. all these songs are still on the radio. Kids today....get off your phones.

My teen years were the 90s. Im sure most people here say the same thing. We grew up in a magical time for music

[batgurrl]

Garbage was truly Iconic and unforgettable.Veruca Salt really rocked. David Bowie’s I’m afraid of Americans with Trent Reznor was a ‘comeback’ plus it’s facetious. RIP - I still miss him❤️ Sex and Candy awesome 1 hit wonder. Great list

[requiempoet]

I still listen to these songs on the regular...who forgot about these?

"Jumper" is one of those songs that always finds its way back to my playlist... especially when my depression hits critical mass.

[kandipiatkowski]

90s were a great decade for music!!! I was a kid in the late 70s, graduating high school in '88, so this list is one that I actually have heard most of the songs!! Goo goo dolls is a GREAT band!!! Spotify even let me know when their new album came out, and I found a couple of songs to add to my Playlist. Back in the day....I used to sing their song Name. It was an inside joke with a friend of mine who I would hang out with and go to a bar to sing karaoke.

Faith No More’s Angel Dust album (to include ‘Midlife Crisis’) is criminally underrated.
Some of these other songs from Incubus, Everlasting, Lit, Filter etc are fortunately still played regularly on our local rock and alternative radio stations. Definitely not forgotten.

I was a teenager in the 90s and I never forgot how awesome the music was then

[Grandizer]

You can’t get any more 90s than The Posie’s - Dream All Day
Also, Deftones - Change is an awesome song. Others are, Lucius Jackson - Naked Eye, Everything But the Girl - Missing, Letters to Cleo - Here and Now, Hole - Violet, 3 Doors Down - Loser, B52s - Roam, White Zombie - Thunderkiss, U2 - Ultraviolet, The Breeders - Cannonball, L7 - Pretend We’re Dead, and Local H - Bound for the Floor. And for some hip hop - Londonbeat - Been Thinking About You. For EDM… Children, Rapture, Insomnia, to name a few

Despite only being born at the tail end of the 90's, I still grew up with many of these songs. They're oldies, but they're definitely goodies. ♥️

[Scream]

Great list. 90s was the best decade for music. It's the Era I grew up in. I'm glad Veruca Salt got some love in the list.

[curtvona]

A great era of music. Love these songs.
