Was the '90s the greatest decade in music?
We’ve all got them. You know, those tracks you absolute loved in the '90s, but that you never hear anywhere anymore? They never come on at parties, your friends just kinda shrug when you sing the chorus at them loudly after a couple of wines and they’re barely ever on the radio.
They’re the overlooked songs from the '90s. The ones that might have had a bit of traction upon release, but have since completely vanished from the hearts and minds of so many.
This week, the Double J team got together and talked about the songs they loved that don’t get enough love anymore. Then they voted on the best ones and came up with this list. Some of them might be staples in your weekly listening, but we reckon most of them will have fallen by the wayside.
And that’s okay. But it’s nice to remember them. Here are the 50 most overlooked tracks of the '90s.
