Three Timeless Songs from The 90s
The 90s gave us boybands, bubblegum pop, and the inception of grunge music. And while 1999 may feel like a long time ago, it’s not unusual to frequently hear songs from this era on the radio. Whether it’s a catchy band tune or an emotional ballad, here are three timeless songs from that era:
- “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana (1991) – Known as Nirvana’s biggest hit, this song brought grunge music to mainstream radio. Additionally, it was considered the anthem of Generation X, depicting feelings of angst and apathy through lyrics like, “I feel stupid and contagious / Here we are now, entertain us.”
- “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston (1992) – Originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton, Houston’s rendition of this ballad is one of the best-selling singles of all time. Emotional lyrics like “So I’ll go, but I know / I’ll think of you every step of the way,” paired with the incredible powerhouse that was Houston’s voice helped make this an unforgettable song that continues to be ingrained in pop culture.
- “What I Got” by Sublime (1996) – This song’s success was bittersweet due to the fact that it was released after Sublime’s lead singer passed away. Its upbeat melody and lyrics encouraging listeners to embrace life’s unpredictability – “Well, life is too short, so love the one you got” – have sealed its status as a timeless 90s tune.
