The verve screwed by VH1…90’s countdown. Spoilers.
I’ve been watching this ‘100 greatest songs of the 90’s’ countdown on vh1 all week, it brought back some memories of course but something bothered me. I had watched to see where this one particular song would be and that song was ‘bitter sweet symphony’ by the verve, it in my mind was one of the best songs of the 90’s. Yet, it wasn’t ranked at all. I mean come on it was one of the biggest songs of 97/98. It should’ve been top 15 at best hell I would’ve settled for anything in the 80’s to 90’s but to not be mentioned at all is staggering.
Before anyone says it “The Verve screwed The Verve”.
Oh yeah spoilers…Nirvana was #1 with ‘smells like teen spirit’. They’re alright but a tad bit over-rated, at this point I feel like going back in time and making sure to lead Kurt cobain in another career such as a comedian or cable repair guy so I won’t have to hear about nirvana this and nirvana that…jeez,

(probably because I'm a hair metal fan.)

I watched every show except 20-1 episode. Did any band have 2 songs on the count down?

I think the rankings were based on online voters. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
According the countdown "Informer" by Snow is exactly one better than "Insane In The Brain" by Cypress Hill.

Never liked the song, but I woulda bet that they'd been in the top 15 as well. bet Wonderwall was high up there. How'd "Wannabe" do?

As long as "Barbie Girl" was Top 10, I'm happy

Sorry gents. Nothing personal, I'm just not a fan. Didn't get it back in the early 90's and don't get it now. Nothing personal.

Cannonball from The Breeders was on the list. Great excuse to listen to that bassline.

That might actually be the best song from the 90s.

Other than that, I can't think of anyone who had two. And I agree Verve should have been on there. Take out Radiohead. (ok i admit I'm biased, but still. My choice.)

That might actually be the best song from the 90s. One of the few songs on that list that hasn't been used to death in movie trailers ;D

Never liked the song, but I woulda bet that they'd been in the top 15 as well. bet Wonderwall was high up there. How'd "Wannabe" do? Wannabe was on Thursday show which was 40 to 21. It was between there. Wonderwall wasn’t even top 20, it’s one of the best songs of the 90’s. As long as "Barbie Girl" was Top 10, I'm happy Aqua wasn’t ranked at all, they didn’t even make the 49 that didn’t make the list but got consideration. Never liked the song, but I woulda bet that they'd been in the top 15 as well. I can't even remember what it sounds like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8ie_yzQzDw
