Favorite Top Ten Song of 1990

[NewbieJr 541]

And we begin our 90's polls. Hope you weren't expecting a sudden shift to awesome just because a new decade began.

Never trust a big butt and a smile.

 

Easy choice, although I suspect Cradle of Love will walk away with the win. Why? Because too many Geeks just vote for the most popular white guy rock song, as oppose to the song that was actually coolest. Lame.

[jerryskids 5,275]

Prolly the easiest one for me so far -- I love Blaze of Glory (and I can't believe that was a Billboard top 10). Poison is fun, would have picked that next. Vogue and Nothing Compares are alright.

[JT 137]

Nothing Compares To You

 

A throwaway Prince song, a remarkable performance. Holds up well to the test of time.

[kutulu 1,555]

The bald chick who shitte on the pope.

[mahan day 4]

nothing compares to you. thats a great song even now.

[cbfalcon 824]

I'll at least support the pope killer as a winner if she holds on, as I march in a fight against redneck choices.

[NorthernVike 2,080]

Wow, what a steaming pile of shiot music. I honestly do not have a favorite. So no vote from me this time.

[NewbieJr 541]

Vision of Love was Mariah Carey's debut single. I still remember seeing the video on MTV and knowing she'd be a huge star. Just an amazing voice. I liked this song. As embarrassing as it might be to admit, I also liked the Wilson Phillips song. I've always bee a huge fan of great harmonies and these girls sang great together. And when your fathers are Brian Wilson and Papa John Phillips, you certainly come from a great music background. The En Vogue song also had great harmonies.

 

Nothing Compared 2 U is a good song, written by Prince. Kind of got old though and I have no desire to listen to it today. Poison and Vogue are garbage.

 

I like a few Roxette songs and enjoyed the back and forth between the guy and the short-haired blonde. This wasn't one of my favorites, though. I ws surprised to see Cradle of Love in the top ten. I never considered it one of the most popular Billy Idol songs. I guess I was wrong.

 

To me, the clear cut winner here is Another day in Paradise by Phil Collins. Great sounding sound that also had a good message. Also really liked David Crosby's backing vocals.

You notice that too? lol

[Giants Fan 85]

I admit. I'm a homo. I voted for Sinead.

[Little Rusty 17]

@ ME for choosing Wilson Phillips "Hold On"

 

I normally choose ANY CRAP ROCK tune over anything else, but I chose that because it's a song that has stayed with me all these years.

 

Please Forgive Me

Proud of you, Rusty. You're growing as a person

[BiPolarBear 476]

I think Nothing Compares 2 U is a great song. reaching the 90's is a real relief after some of the drizzle we endured in the last decade.

[OldMaid 1,838]

Good group here, only a couple of songs I never liked. While I Roxette and Sinead... my choice is Bell Biv Devoe. Although I will admit all 3 are on my iPod.

[Voltaire 4,573]

Well the decade hasn't gone into the crapper just yet. Still good songs here as the '80s sound unwinds. Went with Bon Jovi.

 

Whatever wins 1990 is probably the best song of the decade.

[Giants Fan 85]

Oh crap ... I did not realize BBD was on the list. Might change my vote.

 

Also .... "Hold on" was the name of the En Vogue song?

 

"Never trust a big butt and a smile."

 

Words to live by.

[Giants Fan 85]

What year was this? 87?

[The Moz 69]

Damn was this year shitty for the musics.

 

Went with Cradle of Love after a coing toss with blaze of glory --- the only 2 songs I can even listen on that list.

[Mile High Drunk 13]

Lots of terrible listed 1-20

[Thornton Melon 546]

Went with Billy Idol..the only song in that heap of crap I wouldn't immediately shut off. Plus, I'd just think of the chick in the video. She had a great ass.

[Herbivore 915]

That is a steaming pile of crap, saved only by exactly how HOT Alannah Myles is/was.

 

First ten was nothing special either, Bon Jovi focking sucks and is gonna be showing up pretty regularly for a bit. I went with Nothing Compares 2 U as well. As much for the Sinead version as for the Prince version with Rosie Gaines, that showed up on one of his greatest hits or B sides or something like that.

[kutulu 1,555]

I think I forgot that prince wrote nothing compares 2 U and thought about changing my vote cause I don't like picking a cover song but its so much better as a "song" in my book even though its totally not my kind of music generally

the "2" and the "U" might have been giveaways....

[NewbieJr 541]

the "2" and the "U" might have been giveaways....

That meant it was either written by Prince or Mahan Day.

[kutulu 1,555]

the "2" and the "U" might have been giveaways....

True but I didn't really pay attention or give this song much thought...didn't notice the u 2 part until recently

[Sho Nuff 720]

Went with Billy Idol..the only song in that heap of crap I wouldn't immediately shut off. Plus, I'd just think of the chick in the video. She had a great ass.

 

True...based on the video...Idol wins it...that chick was fantastic.

[mmmmm...beer 692]

Word is you killed a man Billy....

 

Yeah...

 

Why?

 

They was hackin on me.

I guess I'm the only one who likes most of this stuff. Or maybe I'm just not a bunch of crotchety old men, like you guys are.
