Enjoy the Silence was early 1990, so those who say the 90s started in 91 wouldn't include it. And most of Elton John's best tunes were done before the 90s.

Someone couldn't pick a song for the Backstreet Boys, well how about Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely?

No, not that one.

My favorite Backstreet Boys song that was number 1 material "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)

My all time favorite BSB song has to be "The Call" though.

I would say that my favorite nineties songs (and honestly they could fall into a variety of "top hits of the nineties" lists or compilations). Some of them have been named but not all I think.

White Town - "If I was your woman" (odd little ditty that)
U96 - Pretty much anything by them but Das Boot was still their best and most creative IMHO.
Blind Melon - "No Rain"
Barenaked Ladies - Again, anything by them
Blur - "Girls and Boys" , "Song 2"
Placebo - "Pure Morning"
Smashing Pumpkins - Again everything
Len - "If you steal my sunshine"
Meja - "All 'Bout the Money"
Natalie Imbrugulia - "Torn"
Spin Doctors - "Two Princes"
Crash Test Dummies - Anything by them, the lead singer's voice just was a bit unique
Scatman John - Anything
Ini Kamoze - "Here comes the Hotstepper"
Soul Asylum - Anything
Wycleaf Jean or anything by the Fugies
Faithless - "Insomnia"
Betty Boo - "Doin the Doo"
Guru Josh - "Infinity"
Paula Abdul - "Rush Rush", "The Promise of a New Day"
Savage Garden - "Truly, Madly, Deeply"
The Wannadies - "You Me" song
Martika - "Love Thy will be done"
Kelly Family - "Roses of red"
New Radikals - "You only get what you give"
Weezer - "Buddy Holly"
Rob Zombie - "Living Dead Girl"
Cowboy Junkies - Their version of "Sweet Jane"
K's Choice - "Not an Addict"
Sin with Sebastian - "Golden Boy"
Right Said Fred - "I'm too Sexy"
Hole - "Violet"
Manic Street Preachers - Anything
Radiohead - "Fake Plastic Trees"
Suede - "Trash"
Shawn Colvin - "Rockaby"
Heather Nova - Anything
Jeff Buckley - Anything
Bjork - Anything
Garbage - "Stupid Girl"


That's a few. The Cure's "Wish" album and Radiohead's first album would also be put in here somewhere if there were a top albums of the nineties thread (which there might be, I have not looked yet). And that is my rather long list (which is most likely much longer).
