I am at a loss as to why Gerardo (Rico Suave) is on the list, but I have to remind myself these were voted on by stupid people.

I so agree with Madonna being in the top ten with VOGUE. That was the song of the year when it came out, if I remember correctly.

[Dean Winchester]

I'm a little surprised no Janet songs made the cut, she had so many great hits out in the 90's like That's The Way Love Goes, Together Again, If, Escapade, Love Will Never Do, Black Cat (even tho Rhythm Nation came out in 89, most of the songs were hits in 90) and so on

Amen to that. The 90's screamed out JANET! Her career began in that era. It's like not listing any songs from the 80's from Madonna.

[ABlairican Pie]

What, no Pantera??

Now that's not surprising for VH-1.

[Dean Winchester]

I'm also a little surprised we didn't get some Gwar on this list too, what were the 90's without them?

A very sad, lonely place whose void not even the Spice Girls could fill.




LOL

I remember when Gwar appeared on a talk show, what was it Geraldo?
