that kinda has it all: lip syncing, line dancing, everything about the nineties.

You totally missed the immediate post grunge goodness of classic alternative indie rock, burt.

a bit off topic but when I had my record store in the 90s these were the most bought and then returned for $3 or $4 that I can remember:

No Doubt-tragic kingdom
offspring-smash
third eye blind
janet jackson-janet
fugees-the score
gnr-use your illusion
ace of base-the sign
green day-dookie
hootie-cracked mirror
bodyguard soundtrack

I bet if you asked this question on a non-Pearl Jam board, at least 30-40% of the responses would be Pearl Jam songs.

i think our household owned all of those at one point.

The Singles soundtrack has to be the most 90s soundtrack.

The first Third Eye Blind album was so fun. Really good power pop/rock songs. I saw them and Eve 6 in High School. It was a great show. Ice Cube was playing in Omaha the same night and 3EB played a snippet of It Was a Good Day.

Wasn't Garth Brooks actually the best selling artist of the '90s by a wide margin?

Has to be.

How is it that I don't think I've ever heard a Garth Brooks song?

The fuck was that??? And that was the highest selling artist of the 90's?

i don't mind him too much, but the only artist who ushered in more shit than Pearl Jam has to be Garth Brooks. Country sucked after him. he destroyed an entire genre.

Sucked after him? From that - it seems like he had a pretty big hand in destroying it himself
