NME's list of best tracks of the 1990s. More details here.
There are certainly some songs on the list that I would strongly agree with. Oasis' Live Forever and Supersonic, Foo Fighters' Everlong, Green Day's Basket Case, The Smashing Pumpkins' 1979; Blur's Girls and Boys, REM's Losing My Religion, TLC's No Scrubs, New Radicals' You Get What You Give, and Elastica's Stutter, for starters. I thought U2 should have had more on here than just "One" and Pearl Jam needed more than just "Alive." Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit was predictably #2, while Pulp's Common People made it to #1. I guess I don't get that...someone explain that to me? The Cure's Friday I'm In Love made it, but nothing else from Galore? How about Live's Lightning Crashes? Counting Crows' Rain King or Mr. Jones? Red Hot Chili Peppers' Under the Bridge? I could go on with many, many omissions. But no list is perfect. Perhaps one day I will create my own?
