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decades ago, but I firmly believe that there is a good amount of music from the '90s that was so solid it will never be outdated.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?

No Stone Temple Pilots? Nirvana? Smashing Pumpkins?
Horrible top 10 list.

It’s fun, too, to hum, sing (or whatever) songs you already know just to see if the app can guess it right!

I’m digging the Might Quinn cover.
“He was great in “Gremlins”, the “Bathroom Buddy”
You might be surprised at how many songs he wrote.
>>Jim Morrison was so good looking, though. I watched a Dan Rather special with 2 of the surviving Doors members. They said the country went to hell after Nixon was elected and the Kennedy brothers were killed. Their lead singer died because of a drug addiction and women started killing their unborn in record numbers but the problems of society were caused by Nixon.

2 of my favorites Poker & Nightrider. I do like the studio versions better than the live one here.

Hank Williams gave us the Honky Tonkin’ incident.
I hate Nirvana. Never understood their appeal. I change the station immediately when their stuff come on.
I call it whine rock and they seem to just whine about everything.

They are very good. First time I’ve heard them. Thanks.

Keith Richards gave us the cokin', coconut-conkin' incident.
Didn’t “2Pac” get shot in the crotch at one point? Should have changed his handle to “1Pac” after that.
