Of all the years from the '90s, this (and possibly 1995 as well) is the one in which I'm familiar with pretty much all the songs. After about 4 years of not keeping up with the top 40 much, I had started to get back into it a bit, but had pretty much lost interest in it again by 1997 or so.
Which of these 10 will you choose?
