100 Greatest Songs

Finals are over, my GPA is getting ever so close to rounding to 4.0 (3.9886... damn A-), and on most days, I can sleep indefinitely. So really, what else do I need?

Well, vh1 answered this question for me... clearly I need to relive the 90s' 100 greatest songs. Some of them--like the Pearl Jam and Nirvana stuff--I was too young to appreciate and they died off (in the case of Nirvana, quite literally, in fact) too soon for me to really care. But that's ok, those songs are more than balanced by all the awesomeness that was 90s musics: retarded rap-- a la "Baby Got Back," that Coolio song they always played at Skateland and those Snoop Dog videos where their cars bounce around and the marajuana leaves on their hats are blured out--the Spice Girls (Girl Power, baby!), boy bands (although *NSYNC didn't hit their prime until 2000... March 21, 2000, to be exact, when No Strings Attached was released. Yes, I still know that. Yes, I counted down and left post it notes for my mom in the morning reminding her to buy it. And yes, she bought it for me at Walmart at like 7:30 in the morning after dropping Tony off at school... Get over it.) and various other people I'd forgotten about but obviously liked, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, etc.

So what's this mean? I'm listenin to all my old CDs, of course! First I rocked out to the Spice Girls, whose concert Sarah and I almost went to. Damn Tuesday night concert! I soooooo would have bought tickets otherwise. Anywho, after the Spice Girls, we had some Mariah Carey. She was so good before she had a nervous breakdown and gave the TRL audience popsicles out of a little push cart. Oh well, at least she didn't get knocked up... twice... and shave her head? She even did a Journey cover. And now we're on Christina Aguilera. "Genie In A Bottle" was a good song, ok? It was even pretty high on the countdown, so ha! And of all the little whores who were shaking their butts at us back then, she turned out to be the least insane of them all... and she can definitely sing the best.

So, yes, 90s music is pretty kick ass. Next up: Aqua. However, they didn't make the countdown. "Barbie Girl" was robbed!
