The beautiful people?
Where's Soundgarden? Why is TLC a honorable mention?
what happened with Freak on a Leash of KoRn?
Seriously, no Tool? This list is utter shit.
I was waiting for All is Full of Love by Björk
what about bands that really define the 90' like Radiohead or Oasis… (Creep-Wonderwall)
Well… the mentioned Bascket Case…
Hello, I was so expecting "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam to be number 1. That song was huge and had a serious impact when it came out.
im 13 and this gives me a migrane all thoes songs i hated them in the radio XD
WHERE'S THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE? ?
black or white?
Id like to nominate Korn's A.D.I.D.A.S. directed by Joseph Khan.
Anyone who disagrees with Britney being #1 clearly didn't live through 1998/1999. That video is now among the most iconic music videos EVER. BOMT was literally everywhere and it still holds a world record.
where the hell is around the world by daft punk
None from Beck, the king of music videos? Loser, Where It's At, New Pollution, Sexx Laws, Mixed Bizness, Devil's Haircut
What about Wonderwall?!?!?!
Where on earth is MJ on this? He was the most iconic of the lot!
Wonderwall should at least be an honorable mention
Thought Freak On A Leash woulda been on here
did anyone else hear he said 8 when it was 7 um lol
music videos from the time mtv actually played music videos.
Bad 1 and 2, and no Beck or R.E.M., but still pretty good list
No Jeremy? This list is a ****** travesty.
Britney over Nirvana REALLY…. Wow
Where's California love?
I disagree with #1
1930s art deco feel?
the art deco period was in the 1920s…
R.E.M losing my religion… is… not… here! Ok, I quit this channel.
how did britney spears beat all of them?? especially guns n' roses and nirvana
Meatloaf I'd do anything for love
did anyone else notice the mistake they made
Smells like teen spirit over heart-shaped box???
They have Britney Spears over frickin' Nirvana… excuse me while I go regain my hope for humanity.
understanding the 1 per genre rule and trying to keep neutral, I think both SLTS and BHMOMT are correctly placed (Could've been any way between both), but you have two videos for alternative rock (Weezer and NIN), also two Fem-pop videos. my list would be
1.- Smells like/Baby hit me
2.-Same as #1
3.- California Love
4.- Black or White
5.-November Rain
6.-Paranoid android
7.-Sabotage
9.-I want it that way
10.-Nothing compares to you
(YOU CANNOT LEAVE MJ OUT OF A 90's LIST)
Where is Janet Jackson?
1. Sabotage
2. November Rain
3. Buddy Holly
Black hole sun ?
where the fuck is PARANOID ANDROID?
DON'T PLAY ME LIKE THAT WATCHMOJO- YOU GONNA SHOW ME RADIOHEAD PUT IT ON THE GODDAMN LIST
The "Scream" video with MJ and Janet should have gotten an honorable mention.
