90s party soundtrack suggestions?
Permalink Closed


I'm in charge of music from my friend's 90s party this weekend (thank god - she's a boy bander - ugh). I'm working on a set list, or I guess I should say I should be working on a set list but I'm surfing ST instead. Any suggestions for must-have songs?

I have a great collection of 90s dance pop to start. I want to add a bit of grunge, although not a ton because it is a party and not a rainy day in Seattle, pop, fun rap/hip-hop, etc.

Thoughts?

Great list! I was going by Billboard lists but they suck. This one is much better.

Make sure you get some Alice In Chains, I would suggest Man In a Box, Would, and Rooster.

You know what's funny?  At least half of these songs are on current rotation on my playlists.  90s music rocked!

That list is AWESOME. I tend to forget how diverse the music was in the 90's.
