“I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” by Aerosmith (I always imagine someone singing this full blast as they sit alone in their car in the rain).

“Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve (The song that never gets old, no wonder it has 167 million views on youtube).

(I don’t care if i was born the same year this song came out, I’ll still play it like I grew up with it on the radio)

“Mo Money Mo Problems” by The Notorious B.I.G.

*“Macarena” by Los del Rio (Goes hand in hand with the “Cha-Cha Slide” for song most often played at school dances).

“No Diggity” by Blackstreet (Ed Sheeran’s cover brought this song back for me, but nothing beats the original).

“U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer (I always crack up remembering dance parties with my friends when I was little where this song would be playing in the background).

Here are the rest of the songs I always think of from around this time: 5 (A Little Bit Of…)” by Lou Bega as it played on the jukebox every Friday at a local pizza place close to where I lived. The latter half of the 90s and the early 2000s had some real gems as well.

“Wonderwall” by Oasis (The song every boy who knows four chords on the guitar has tried to use to pick up girls at some point.).

“Fields of Gold” by Sting ( Sting’s not stalker-ish love song.).

“Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (1991) by Elton John ( It was in the Lion King, of course I have to mention this song.).

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” (1991) by Nirvana ( Probably the most iconic song to come out of the ‘90s.).

“Ice Ice Baby” (1990) by Vanilla Ice ( UNDER PRESSUR - Oh wait…).

“Pump Up The Jam” (1990) by Technotronic ( If you haven’t seen the music video, you really should.).

I don’t have many songs between the years of 1990 to 1995 because I wasn’t born yet, but I’m including some that managed to stick throughout the last half of the 90s. Whatever the case, here are my picks for the ultimate throwback playlist (with a few songs in Spanish for all my Latinos out there). Or maybe these are the songs that have simply sat forgotten in the back of your mind for all these years. Maybe they’ve been on your iTunes as your not-so-guilty pleasures that make you sing and smile at some memory they bring back whenever the first note hit. They roll back the years to a time before everyone had smart phones and still listened to music on Walkmans, CD Players and MP3s.

These are the songs that take you back to the days of VHS, Gameboys, Kid Pix, Bop It, awkward school dances, Blockbuster and book fairs.
