How can I tell I'm getting old? My go-to music choices don't even come close to popular music currently topping the charts. When I drive my son to preschool, I proudly blast the classic rock station -- which now plays music from the 1990s. If listening to the likes of Pearl Jam and U2 makes me an old fogey? I can deal with that.
Perhaps this is something my parents would have argued a few decades ago, but I firmly believe that there is a good amount of music from the '90s that was so solid it will never be outdated. And I can't say that for much of what I hear on popular radio stations today.
If not for anything but a bit of nostalgia, let's take a look at the top songs from the '90s that still hold their own, shall we?

For 10 bucks I’ll teach you to play the opening chord of “Hard Day’s Night” like an expert.
John Milner: “Shit Toad, the man had me, he was beating me”! Toad: “John, I don’t know what you are talkin’ about! It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! That guy...he might as well get himself a wheelchair and roll himself home. Man you got, you got the bitchinist car in the Valley! You’ll always be number one, John. You’re the greatest”! John Milner: “Okay Toad, we’ll take ‘em all”.
Lol. I have NO musical talent.
Confession: I just made that up when I realized that EVERY SINGLE SONG on that playlist was MOROSE. :-)

To me, it’s almost the epitome.
Actually that was just John Lennon, but he was a Beatle.
No problem, I don’t remember the 90s songs.
I have never heard that one. But has a very Beatles’ feel to it. I like it.
Sounds like a girl band.
Totally missed music in the ninties.....started listening to Rush, G Gordon, Tony Snow, Mary Matlin. Funny now I rarely listen to talk. Listen to Seventies on 7, and Classic Rewind in my truck.

Nice. They’re pretty good at covering the parents’ songs.
Only Gun and Roses song I like is “I used to love her, but I had to kill her.” Such truth in a song. No one has balls to write truth songs like this.
Well, up until 1964 or so....
But, amazingly, he’s here with us!
