Biggie - 10 crack commandments
:thumbsup:

These were two of my alternatives. Super close to picking Ambitionz, but folks who haven't heard much Tupac probably associate him more with that type of track than something like "Dear Mama," so I went with that. (Oh and shouts to whoever picked "Changes" because that song is amazing.)

Ten Crack Commandments = top shelf Biggie.

Want would have been an awesome pick too, now that I think about it.
I was very close to picking "To Wish Impossible Things"

Though I don't care for AIC or Tool, there's some killer tracks here.

theplatypus
Jorge's team doesn't have a wealth of memorable moments for me, but it works very well together - I mentioned before that I'd take these picks on a roadtrip.

Me
Sheer genius.

knee tunes
This was the closest match for me. In the end, KT just had a couple more tracks that I loved in the 90's.

Birds in Hell
I nostalg-enjoyed the hell out some of Ted's team, but Spenno's team carries more weight for me.

I just listened to Platys playlist. The last song did nothing for me but overall it's a real nice listen.

People used to tag that mp3 as Mazzy Star back in the early days of file sharing. Kind of like how you'd always find a live version of "Daughter" that was purportedly by Dave Matthews Band featuring Eddie Vedder.

I think I thought that before napster days n napster sort of confirmed it

then again because of napster I thought Coldplay was coolplay.. that was when people thought altering names n song titles slightly got them by copyright laws

And every single parody mp3 was by Weird Al.

Christmas Sucks was some Tom Waits impersonator that I thought was him for years and years.

A song I really wanted to pick, but couldn't due to the rules (it wasn't released in the 90s... or ever) was "All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun" by Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser

I just finished Iholdthepain's mix, and I am reminded how much I dislike the toadies. It's a good thing Country Feedback buys so much goodwill.

Oh yeah, I really wanted to draft an Ani DiFranco song. Probably Both Hands or Dilate (which is the only song that has ever made me openly weep. Granted it was after a terrible breakup with a girl who was a huge Ani DiFranco fan and was always pissed I never took the time to listen to her. That song was not a good place to start).
