Oops. Looks like Wicked Game was 1989.

I feel like this thread kind of shows the dividing line between Gen X and elder millennial. If you’re Gen X you will tend to think of songs from the early 90s and if you’re elder millennial you will think of songs from the second half of the 90s.

I am elder millennial so I like the ones people are suggesting from later 90s. But I remember these from when I was young:

From the late 90s I remember that Edwin McCain song from Dawson’s Creek and the Paula Cole and Sarah McLachlan albums.

Oops, my second link was supposed to be that Mr. Big song.

Hmm. I remember these songs, but with a few exceptions not all that fondly.

This song is so funny. My HS boyfriend introduced me to it. He and that friend group had some really odd taste in music.

Here is another one for you:

Most of these are on my playlist on Spotify

oops, the Caulfields were from my area, but that particular song was not their song that was all about Newark, DE. I hadn't heard it in so long, I forgot it was a different song on that album. The one posted I think was their "one hit"

Like this song but consider this more of the 80s New Wave sound like Split Enz/Crowded House

It has the indie jangly guitar sound of the 90s for sure

I think that's a leap. I'm GenXer and I posted stuff from the beginning to the end of the decade.

What I've noticed in this thread is a mix of some mainstream stuff and some not-mainstream stuff. I'm not going to generalize demographics from that. I think it's just a difference in taste.

Such an underrated/overlooked soundtrack.

I posted Tori Amos above. Sirens is amazing. Life in Mono by Mono. Besame Mucho by Cesaria Evora. The Iggy Pop song. What's not to love!
