I'll start.

"Take a Bow" by Madonna. It was #1 for SEVEN weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995 and was #1 on the radio airplay chart for ELEVEN weeks, by far Madonna's biggest most played radio hit in the US.

The song was inescapable it was even officially used as Friends' first season finale as Ross and Rachel's love song.

Not sure what this has to do with the 90's.

Three big 90's songs you hardly hear anymore are No Rain by Blind Melon, Stay by Lisa Loeb and Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie B. Hawkins. They came out when I was in high school/college and they were played all the time on radio.

Missing by the British band Everything But The Girl. It was an absolutely huge worldwide hit for them and it was being played everywhere, to the point that I was pretty sick of it. I haven't heard it in a really long time now. It's a good song actually, but it really got overplayed.

I remember a time when I couldn't go anywhere without hearing "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls. I did hear "Spice Up Your Life" last week on a Target commercial recently because Victoria "Posh" Beckman has a new clothing line there.

I never hear Ricky Martin.

And thank God you don't hear it anymore! The fact that this was such a huge hit the year after Kurt Cobain - who declared war on MTV pop - died nauseates me.
