Toad the Spin Jam

A local radio station is having a "Smells like the '90s Weekend" which, while moronically named, has made me feel weirdly nostalgic. The music I grew up with is now retro. I expect my minivan to be arriving in the mail any day now.

But ever the optimist (no, really) I've decided to take this opportunity to pay tribute to what I am hereby officially declaring to be the top ten pop songs of the nineties. Seattle bands need not apply.

1. "No Rain" - Blind Melon
2. "Popular" - Nada Surf
3. "Undone - The Sweater Song" - Weezer
4. "Song 2" - Blur
5. "Sister Havana" - Urge Overkill
6. "Seether" - Veruca Salt
7. "Low" - Cracker
8. "Plowed" - Sponge
9. "Pretend We're Dead" - L7
10. "Cannonball" - Breeders

Honorable mentions go to "Walk on the Ocean" by Toad the Wet Sprocket, "Laid" by James and "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" by the Spin Doctors. And "Glycerine" by Bush. I clearly have no soul.

Now, fellow children of the '90s, tell me what I'm missing... mostly so I can go find it on Rhapsody.
