A list of the 90s without "Smells like teen spirit"

[Humphrey12]

There's also no Pearl Jam or Soundgarden. Only AiC, TotD and some post-grunge bullshit. Grunge just doesn't explain the '90s, guys! Instead there's room for My Heart Will Go On, I Will Always Love You AND All I Want for Christmas Is You, which explains the '90s very much thank you for explaining the 90s to us 90s kids where is beck's loser the only song which really explains the entire...

Tom Petty - It's Good to Be King

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!

[jdizzle83]

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

He's on hiatus but is going to now do 90 songs which is why "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and many others aren't there.

That's what I thought!

[StevieFan13]

Three new episodes are out - added them to the top of the list

[StevieFan13]

New songs now added from the last four or five episodes.

[StevieFan13]

Updated through episode 75. Fifteen more to go!

[VacantJoy]

[StevieFan13]

ok thnx keep up the good work

[StevieFan13]

Three new additions since the last time I checked. All good picks, especially "Return of the Mack," which I'm always happy to see show up on a list.

[StevieFan13]

Now updated with four more songs. Not sure how many more episodes there are.

[StevieFan13]

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

So if he's doing ninety songs now, if my math is right, we only have two more episodes to go!

[Henrik]

Is this complete?

This is also a book now

At the end, which ones were the 60 songs and which one are the others? I'm confused

[VacantJoy]

there are over 60 songs here , i dont know its better to quote the forumites because with the new management they probably wont see the comments so

so?

[StevieFan13]

Looks like it's updating even past 90 episodes now, seeing as they had a 100th-episode special lol. I'll go through and add the new songs.

[StevieFan13]

Update done, and a lot of ones added that are hard to argue with. They now even joke that it's the most inaccurately-named podcast ever!

[Henrik]

Are these really acclaimed songs though? ”Surviving Macarena” doesn’t sound very positive…

[VacantJoy]

i would vote for yes

[StevieFan13]

Are these really acclaimed songs though? ”Surviving Macarena” doesn’t sound very positive…

Nah, these are positive. That’s just American humor. This definitely should be added if you ask me.

They're no the best, they 're just explaining the 90s, as YMCA in the 70s. Young men!

[StevieFan13]

Updated again!

There are plenty of people who weren't into Beck, Nirvana, etc so...

[StevieFan13]

Updated again

[StevieFan13]

The podcast is officially over! Updated for the last four, plus there’s apparently an episode where guests bring up songs they wished were features that I’ll give a listen to to see what’s mentioned.

[VacantJoy]
