My dormitory is having a backyard 90's themed barbecue, and I've been roped into creating a playlist of music videos from the 90's. This event is mostly for 19-20 year olds, and after asking around, people seemed more interested in listening to songs from the late 90's than the earlier 90's (songs that were popular when they were in their preteens, as opposed to when they were toddlers). Actually when I asked people what they wanted to listen to, it erupted into a BSB > NSync, Britney > Christina type of argument haha. But regardless, I'd rather not have a playlist filled with just BSB and Britney, so I've tried to incorporate a variety of songs that were popular in the 90's for peoples' different tastes. So this is what I've compiled so far:
1. Weezer - Buddy Holly
2. Oasis - Wonderwall
3. Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
4. Nirvana - Smells Like Team Spirit
5. Sugar Ray - Someday
6. Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
7. Christina Aguilera - Genie In a Bottle
8. Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom Boom
9. The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
10. Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply
11. Santana - Smooth
12. Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time
13. New Radicals - You Get What You Give
14. NSync - Bye Bye Bye
15. Aqua - Dr. Jones
16. Westlife - Uptown Girl
17. LFO - Summer Girls
18. Hanson - MMMBop
19. The Offspring - Why Don't You Get a Job
20. Michael Jackson - Black or White
21. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
22. Britney Spears - (You Drive Me) Crazy
23. BSB - Everybody
I'm still a couple songs short, and I know I've missed some good ones. For late 80's, early 90's babies, what songs were you obsessed with from your childhood/preteen years? Any suggestions of what I should add to my playlist/take off?

You just want radio play fare?
Radiohead - Creep
The Wallflowers - One Headlight
Eve 6 - heart in a blender song
Sugar Ray - Fly
um... can't think of anything else right now.
(I'd replace Semi-Charmed LIfe with How's It Going to Be.)

Oh... I think I found it. But that's purely 90's dance tracks, I'm looking for more radio type songs. Though I did take "What Is Love" from that thread... The music video for that is pretty hilarious.

BLASPHEMY! Everyone knows the 80's had the best music of all time! 
Anyway, here are a few songs I can think of that I have on my playlist and are from the 90's:
Seal - Kiss From A Rose
Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You
Los Del Rio - Macarena
MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This
Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise
House of Pain - Jump Around
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (A Queen song is preety much obligatory at any 80's/90's party)
U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy
Marky Mark - Good Vibrations
Blackstreet - No Diggity
Scatman John - Scatman
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
R. Kelly - Gotham City
Will Smith - Gettin Jiggy Wit' It
Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (ok, admittingly, this one is from 1989)
Prodigy - Out of Space
Prodigy - Voodoo People
I could probably think of many more from the late 80's, but I will limit myself to this list for now.

Ahh I love Scatman! But idk if most of my peers know it. Oh well, I'm including it.

Gotta think party with your music. Radio stuff is the best choice. Stuff that people might of hated back then would still be a good call because you know they'll know it.

the spin doctors!
little miss can't be wrong or two princes, fantastic tunes
Matthew good - Rico
you cant go wrong with them
this could be a very long list, but those are my contributions
|
Also, if you are going to include the Vengaboys, you should probably include "We're Going to Ibiza" as well. Also, I would recommend Ecuador and Encore Une Fois from Sash.
Ok, ok, I need to stop now. O_o
EDIT: Crazy from Seal....GAH!!!!

So glad someone mentioned Scat Man John 
Also sorry for the lack of "radio type songs" but these songs are awesome. Oh and the Doggystyle album of course. Perhaps I have a different sort of barbeque in mind :D
