Music Banter - The top pop songs of the 90's

The songs I was most excited about on the radio in the nineties:

Savage Garden - I Want You

Fastball - The Way

This was one of my absolute favorites. I kind of dug the dark backstory, where it was about elderly people just taking off...possibly ironic, but much after this song was released, when I was in college, my great uncle got pissed off that they wanted to take his driver's license away from him. He took off in a huff in his car, ended up next to a lake the next state over, drove up the horse trails, his car broke down...and then he took off walking down the trail and they found him several days later. In ANOTHER weird turn of events, I had no idea where he'd actually been found, but he'd been found, apparently less than 100 yards from the campsite my friends and I had been going to for months. I found that out when I made my mother drop me off to camp because I didn't feel like driving out there and paying for parking, and she said exactly where he'd been found...it was the part of the creek literally right outside of our campsite. We have to walk about a mile to get to the site. I was skeeved out. Anyway. Yeah.

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Jewel - You Were Meant For Me

Tonic - If You Could Only See

The Wallflowers - One Headlight

The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen

WAY before I was a freshman. Even when this song came out, I was SO far away from being a freshman in high school, but I loved this song. I remember specifically recording this one to cassette from the radio.

Blues Traveler - Run Around

Radiohead - Creep
