Customer Reviews:

The Nasty Nineties.......2007-04-05

This CD should have been called "The Most Annoyingly Overplayed Songs of the 1990's." With the exception of "Shine," every single track on this CD is juvenile, mindless, fluff that was overplayed on the radio in the radio until you were ready to scream! If you're looking for a CD that represents the greatest music of the 1990's, check out Non Stop 90's Rock or Forever 90's instead.
However, you might be interested in this CD if you want to host a cheesy 90's dance party. The songs are kind of fun and catchy if you listen to them in moderation.

I Love Watching The World Die.......2006-04-21

Mercifully, VH-1 hasn't released the nauseating, moron-targeting 'I Love The 90s' DVD series (yet), so you'll have to settle for a similarly appalling companion soundtrack disc.

This is precisely the kind of CD which shouldn't even exist anymore given the availability of this material on the internet, legal or illegal. There's no rhyme or reason to the collection, and the songs you might actually want to remember...you probably already downloaded them.

The source show is easily one of the most appalling projects MTV/VH-1 has produced in some time. It's basically a bunch of 'comedians' and third-tier celebrities talking about the 80s or 90s (or rather, the highlights of what corporate product was released in 1996, say) with such fond memories and gusto, hoping the next generation ingests this poison with the understanding that Mambo No. 5 was a 'good, memorable song' for instance.

Avoid at all costs. Take pleasure in denying Tag Team their royalties when you find their 'classic' song on online...for free.

Every song you'll actually know.......2005-12-14

I would have given this CD one more star if there were more tunes but I can't complain too much because the price was just right for the range of music that can be had on one cd.

I can agree with another reviewer in that "grunge" was completely overlooked here in favor of the pop stuff (Hanson? Come on!) but there are other 90's compilations out there that have plenty of grunge on them (and plenty of songs that no one heard except when they were in the middle of turning off the radio at 3 o'clock in the morning).

Regardless, this compliation is pretty representative of the range of music that was big in the 90's - pop, rap, even theme songs from TV shows. That's what made the 90's so much more better than the 80's - no one type of music dominated (whereas, in the 80's, the cheesier the better) and, best of all, they were the Clinton years.

This one cd blows Billboard's 90's compliation out of the water ... and then some.

Good deal for great music.

Excellent, fun album of the '90s hits! .......2004-10-12

I thought that this album was very good. At first, I was skeptical, given that these songs have been played thousands of times on radio stations, car stereos, even sports arenas and stadiums. And the novelty value of some songs. I liked that they chose the Spice Girls Say You'll be There instead of that silly Wannabe. That song displays their singing and sexy vocal styles more. And lots of party numbers like Whoomp There It Is, Mambo No. 5, O.P.P., Jump Around, En Vogue's heavy funk of My Lovin', I'm Too Sexy and others. That Friends theme song is still recognizable a decade later--this full version beats the 30 or so seconds that we had to hear on TV. Some critics dismissed these songs when they first came out, but they have really held up some 7 to 13 years later. People still love these songs. I still don't like Tubthumping--there's about 4 or five genres going on in that song that's all about heavy drinking. But this is a very diverse album and it's about time that the '90s got its respect. They talk about the '70s, '80s. '60s and other decades a lot, but the '90s need its respect and this album justifies that! The mix and mastering of the album is just superb and top notch for its 53 minutes!

hardly representative of the 90s.......2004-08-02

has anyone else noticed that there isnt a single nirvana song? of all of the bands of the 90s, nirvana was undoubtedly one of the more luminary bands. and yet they appear nowhere on this compilation. instead, we are treated to the worst of the consumerist, disposable pop trash the 90s had to offer. a retrospective album should do more to cover the diverse styles of music that were prevalent at this time, but this album falls short in every aspect.
