The top 100 songs from the 1990s - the final results, page 1

Fasten your seat belts. The countdown will start in a few minutes!

Thanks to everyone who has voted through the year! It has been so much fun!

Special thanks to those of you who have written comments to the 100 albums and songs in this final poll. But it's not too late for comments. Let's have a rich conversation in this thread, all the way from #100 to #1.

That was the plan indeed, I just couldn't find inspiration to write something for every song and just a few looked useless. Sorry.

Re: The top 100 songs from the 1990s - the final results, page 1

To quote wikipedia:

"The track "Ready or Not" samples Enya's "Boadicea". Initially this sample was uncredited, and Enya was prepared to sue for copyright infringement, however decided not to when she discovered that the Fugees are not gangsta rappers."

And yes Honorio it does seem that way. I was up at 8AM, which is when I start working. (I work from home on saturdays)

Comments:
I can't think of a better song (musically speaking, although I love it's lirics, either) to translate the atmosphere of a reflexion about future. The ironic lirics united to the hope and joyfull melody and arrangements make this song a really emotional masterpiece and one of the peaks of this incredible band's carreer. Also, it's one of the first singles to contain all the elements of what would be called Britpop in the next year. It's quite of a very underrated song. (Toni)

As expected, not a lot of love for rap and hiphop. Still, at least they made it to the top 100. Makes you wonder where all those voters went that brought it to #4 of 1999 in the first place.

Comments:
This one I only began to like last year, after many and many auditions of Parklife. And now I understand why people love it so much. It's grand, magnificent. When it proposes itself to be delicate, it's the most delicate possible; when it has to be sad, it's sad like no other song; and so when it has to be clamorous, or has to explode is a guitar riff. All is very intense. Even Damon's melodies and Coxon's guitar lines here are better than in the other tracks. It's the grand finale Parklife deserves. (Toni)

Honorio, you can also tick "Disable Smilies". I'll try to remember that.

So far, only 3 out of 16 songs are not in the AM top 100 of the '90s. Looks like we're saving place for the forum-favorites. Remember that we have in the poll 10 songs that are not even in the all-time top 3000. How high will they be?

Honorio and Neoptolemos, don't despair. Although some of your favourites are down here, all of us, and I mean all voters, have a positive correlation with the total ranking. The figures given below are correlation with the forum poll total and then the correlation with AM.

Honorio 0.44 and 0.07
Neoptolemos 0.26 and 0.23
Henrik 0.29 and 0.22

Love it's dramaticity. The violins provide a climate of imense ampleness like the title sugests. And then it explodes in the chorus, with all that metals, women choir and the peak of the melody that grows along the first part of the song. Pure emotion. (Toni)

I find Drive the least of the 6 R.E.M. songs qualified, but I would guess E-Bow the Letter is less known/appreciated by the voters.

Just wild guesses. Henrik, don't let us wait too long!

Timeless and classic pop song from a band you couldn’t expect such straightforward song. But even in the weirdest Cure albums Robert Smith always hided a pop heart. (Honorio)

One of the weakest Cure singles ever ! (LonesomePanda)

It seems a very much comercial and fool track, but I've always liked it very much. Although, I don't listen to it very much, since I know I can easily become tired of it. (Toni)

It's a nice song from the New Radicals, but I've heard some 80's songs from INXS and World Party, that would get higher rates from me.

Score: 1206 points

Biggest fans:
Slush (#1), Dumbangel (# , Howlin' Andrew and Mike Kelly (#10)

Comments:
I think the secret of this song is the inovative crossing beetween the funky bass, the rock guitar and the electronic drums, cause I find the melody sung by Damon quite boring in its own. Anyway, after years listening to this, now I like it too much, although continue not understanding why this is Blur's second most acclaimed song. (Toni)

Biggest fans:

Comments:
I don't know which elements are so special in this song's construction, as in much other tracks from Definitely Maybe. They were all supposed to be very awful moments in Oasis' debut. But Supersonic, like all those others, is an irresistable track, not to mention it's the starting point of a meteoric carreer that can't pass unnoticed by no one. (Toni)

When artists have more songs in the list, maybe the voters are biassed a bit and vote the songs they like more, a bit higher, and the ones they like less, lower.

In other words, people that like Girls & Boys, might still give it a lower vote in favor of Song 2. Same with Supersonic versus Live Forever. Or am I talking rubbish here?
