Because let’s face it, you were young and you had a lot on your mind (ie, you had a short attention span) and these songs may not have gotten a lot of airplay where you lived. Some of these songs you may have heard in passing and made a mental note to jot down, then totally forgot when the coach called you for practice or your friends started gossiping about the juicy dish from last weekend’s bush party. So…I’ve done the work for you. May some of the obscure and oft-overlooked gems from the 90’s contained in this list cause some forgotten feeling to bloom forth in your mind and send you into the land of reminiscence…
*I wish there were legitimate music videos for each of these songs, but in some cases they just didn't get big enough...
