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ago, but I firmly believe that there is a good amount of music from the '90s that was so solid it will never be outdated.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

Listen up kids, no good music was ever made after the 1970’s.
“Rock N’ Roll’s been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died.”
Old?
Enjoying patsy cline right now!
The only ones I could listen to (but not all that often) on PJMedia’s list:
“Hold On” — Wilson Phillips
“Nothing Compares 2 U” — Sinéad O’Connor
“Black or White” — Michael Jackson
I still listen to #1 and #2 every once in awhile, but to be honest I change the station if any of the other 8 songs come on the radio. All eight of them would make it on to my own list of “songs I hope I never hear again”.
Late 60’s and nearly all the 70’s. That’s the last of the good music. I despise U2 and Pearl Jam.
That, is simply not true.
The only one I ever heard of was the one by Michael Jackson. After the ‘70s, music pretty much sucks.
Songs I hope I never hear again are Big Shot by whatshisname piano man and Losing my Religion.
Interesting list but the only one I recognized was REM, I must be getting pretty old.

True. And here’s a guy that does a good job of explaining why that is.
“Why Is Modern Pop Music So Terrible?”

You know what else I hate? That freaking Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody. I hated it when it came out and they still play it nonstop.
Well at least they didn’t pick REM’s “Shiny Happy People”.
Dennis Leary said it best....
“Shiny happy people—” Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, all right? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, okay? I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating f....... people, all right? Sit down and shut the .... up, Michael!”
the 80’s were amazing- the 90’s with electric bugaloo and rap just killed the music scene for me. Not a lot of new stuff I can stand. There is a popular type of music now, I call it “the whispering metrosexual” and I just can’t stand it. Music from men these days is just so gay. From women, it’s so dykey. Cut your hair short like Miley Cyrus or Katy Perry, get some tattoos or get a huge butt. No thanks to any of that. Fg find myself listening to older stuff now, stuff that I missed when I was a kid. Stuff I didn’t like at the time seems pretty good now.
No good music was made after grunge killed hair metal.
Warrant, Poison, Ratt?
Don’t need nothin’ but a good time, and it don’t get better than this.
An awful list or maybe i’m just out of touch. ;o)~
The best thing about Hair Metal was Beavis and Butthead ragging on their videos.
