Music of the 90's

Does the fact that I just sat through the entire Top 100 Songs of the 90's on VH-1 mean that I'm yearning for some good tunes or that I have nothing going on in my life?

Regardless, I can't bring myself to believe that the past 8 years can even hold the jock of the 90's. The grunge, the hip hop and everything in-between. The 90's had some of the best blend of music in the history of sound.

Not only did I recognize every song and like it, but every song brought me back to a place in my life that was 'good times'. Maybe that's why I like that music so much. There's an emotional tie. High school, College, Post College slumming on the beach etc.

I mean when Sabotage comes on from the Beatie Boys I think about drinking a 40 in the back yard of 1208 and which one of us can whip the most wicked curve ball.

Think if we had iPods back then and we were able to have all our Sublime, Biggie, Pac, Pearl Jam, Green Day on and on and on in one piece of equipment instead of throwing in the overplayed tape that jammed up your boom box.

The 90's went through the end of the hair bands, dirty grunge, hip hop started and the man banders bloomed. Those 10 years put out the best sounds of all time.
