    The list was based on popularity among fake people. Go figure. Vanilla Ice is one of the people saying "this is an awesome song".

    It's just a list of 90s pop culture songs, and songs that they actually made videos for.

    I can guarantee that if different people voted, like true bands from the era, or previous eras, or anyone but plastic people, the list would have been very different.

    I watched some of this today. It was a fun watch, but I thought one thing was screwy. I only saw the top 25 or so, but I don't think there was one band/artist that had two videos in the top 25. You're telling me there wasn't one band that had 2 or more videos that were the best of the decade? That and the Backdoor Boys being #3. I did like when they would do a where are they now type feature on a lot of the boyband types, and their current gig was "started a family".....

    ummmm...while the label may have wanted it, at least they threw PJ a bone and gave them a 'storytellers'.
    any chance VH1 went out searching for a PJ storytellers? me thinks...no.

    so...it's a stupid list. at least give them that they showed some respect.

    i find these lists entertaining though stupid.
    i think they should have either titled it 100 most played songs of the 90s, or broken it down into genres.
    i also wish they only had 10 or so people doing all the commentary. That way you'd get some real opinion, because people would like some songs and dislike others. As it is now, every song is just called great b/c they only interview people willing to say that. But I'm dumb enough to watch it, so i guess i can't really complain.

    I'm not satisfied. Smells Like Teen Spirit on first place? They are joking! Sorry... i forget..."voice of the generation" (Kurt). Backstreet Boys...
    I would rather PJ wasn't be there at all. It's difficult to put all these songs (so many kinds of music) in one place. How can we compare "Vision of Love" with "Enter Sandman"?

    Ask any professional musician out there and they will flat say 'yea duh, of course Nirvana was the best band of the 90's'. This list includes Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Eddie Vedder, even Puff Daddy. I don't have time to find all the quotes for you but they have all been on record saying Kurt was the man and Nirvana are indeed the best of the 90's. For the record I happen to think Nirvana and PJ are 2 of the best 4 bands ever along with Zeppelin and the Beatles.

    Sure, it's another list of greatness (?). But, PJ made the top 10 with Jeremy. There are a lot of other songs on the list that take me back to the good ol' days when I didn't have a mortgage and bills.

    Lol A LOT of you will disagree with me on this...

    But I'm surprised "Glorified G" didn't make that list (it wasn't even a hit...), because I always thought it was the best damn song of the 90's. Just the way the song is made up and mixed is priceless...

    Shouldn't have to remind anyone that opinions are like assholes and I think you listed the biggest ones you could find. Whether you play music or not it's still just an opinion. IMHO Nirvana is one of the most over rated bands ever if the douche bag hadn't killed himself we'd be talking about how quickly they became irrelevant.

    I agree....they have some catchy ass tunes but god damn do they get old quick. I can still listen to my copy of Dirt and Jar of Flies every day and never get sick of it. Kurt's music had the pop aspect but that also means it gets repetitive, which it is. Plus their unplugged was overrated too, they did a few covers. Unlike the AiC and PJ Unplugged, they turned some of their hardest and heaviest songs into beautiful acoustic versions.

    Plus I stand by Jerry Cantrell when he says:

    "...but Kurt Cobain was such a shitty guitarist"

    No doubt PJ is just flat amazing and the unplugged proves it.

    As for Kurt being a bad guitarist I'd say on a technical aspect he lacked some ability. But he made up for it with brilliant lyrics, melodies, songs and vocals. The counter melody in 'Come as you are' alone puts him in elite songwriting company, as do the lyrics for 'Heart shaped box'.

    If you think "Jeremy" was a bigger hit and a bigger deal in the 90's than "I Want it That Way"...you seriously are a fucking idiot.

    I would have definitely added Filter-Hey Man, Nice Shot. Not only was it played all the time back in the day, but even now, everytime you see a trailer in the theatre for a war movie or something involving Jerry Bruckeimer they use this song. I would have also included Blind Melon - No Rain, Rage - Bulls on Parade and a Foo Fighters song(I'd go with Everlong).
