Worst '90s Songs

Grunge destroyed rock music as we know it, but it wasn't the only horrible thing in '90s music. Here's something to make you glad the '90s ended.
The Top Ten
1 Faith - Limp Bizkit

Hearing this made me wonder whether Limp Bizkit took their own music seriously or not. I sure don't... I mean, have you heard this remake? It is very laughable trying to see a band turn George Michael into angsty scream-rock!

Terrible rendition of an iconic George Michael song by a douchebag.

2 Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex

This, I'm Blue, Mambo no.5, and MMMBop are really the main songs I hated when I was little.
But I have to feel sorry for Hanson they are mostly known for one gobbledygook song and long fake looking blond hair, and people called them girls. They are better now.

That album cover is really disturbing.

3 The Angel and the Gambler - Iron Maiden

This song is so repetitive and long. It also has an out-of-place organ and is without a doubt one of Iron Maiden's absolute worst songs.

Iron Maiden is a good band, but my god is this song repetitive!

4 Blue (Da Ba Dee) - Eiffel 65

Italo-eurodance soup, a clear signal that the DJ has very poor taste in music (but you probably already noticed that you were in a tacky nightclub).

5 Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
6 MMMBop - Hanson

Yes the man who was Asian took his life all he wanted to relax that's what it sounds like

It's not even considered a song.

The song sounds stupid, but its not all Mmmbop, ba duba dop. Go on some lyric website for evidence ok.

7 Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine

Rap and Rock do not mix.

8 Wonderwall - Oasis

Why is this here?

9 Barbie Girl - Aqua

This song was why the year 1997 was the worst year for music in the 90s. Lyrics, vocals were bad in this song. Everyone was a disaster in this song and is one of the most annoying songs of all time.

The band is awesome and has some great songs, but their most famous one is an abomination.

Why the hell are two good songs on the top of the list while this isn't even in the top ten?!

10 Man In the Box - Alice In Chains

No. This song is great. This is one of the best grunge songs. Too high. Just my opinion.

The Contenders
11 I Love You - Barney

When are TopTenners gonna grow up and stop adding songs that were made for infants? (01/08/2022)

12 No Remorse (I Wanna Die) - Slayer & Atari Teenage Riot

Without a doubt, the worst Slayer song ever recorded.

13 Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers

To quote Nick Cave, "I'm forever near a radio saying, What the f--- is this garbage and the always is Red Hot Chili Peppers". Why these sock wearing nudists hit big time is sort of baffling. It certainly wasn't their craft of songwriting with annoying and lightweight white man funk. They had many crimes against humanity, but this one takes the cake with a video that's also annoying as hell.

It's complete rubbish that some people seem to have a fond nostalgia for because it was incessantly foisted upon them during their formative years. If you have honestly tricked yourself into thinking you like this song, you should only listen to music alone, away from society... or better yet, just don't listen at all.

This song is amazing! Screw the people who said it was bad

14 All In the Family - Korn

What is the appeal of hearing Jonathan Davis and Fred Durst trading insults? Maybe it was meant to be ironic but it's one of those tracks I would instantly skip.

15 The Memory Remains - Metallica

Hated the black album, liked half of Load but this was just bad with capital letters. To Marianne Faithfull's credit must be said that she didn't make this lazy, rambling half-assed jam any worse.

90s Metallica is overhated. They are hated because they are not Thrash Metal.

This is a good song.

16 '74-'75 - The Connells

These one hit wonders hit big time with this wimpy middle-of-the-road yearbook based hit. Catchy at first but after a few listens you just couldn't help hating it.

17 Untitled - Queen
18 How Do You Talk to an Angel - The Heights

Overly schmaltzy song from a forgotten 90s show. The reason this song went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992 is quite a mystery today. I mean, this song basically embodies everything wrong with 90s pop rock ballads at the time. The vocals are so bland, the lyrics are facepalm-inducing, the chorus sounds like third-rate Bryan Adams, but the cherry on top of this turd-flavored cake are the whiny guitar solo and sax solo. This song just needs to be left back in '92 and '92 only.

19 Come Again - Damn Yankees

Whiny hard rock ballad that came out right when hair metal was rightfully about to die.

Whiny glam metal song. Generic and annoying at all.

20 Poor Twisted Me - Metallica

Outside of most songs off St. Anger and Lulu, this is probably the worst song Metallica has ever released.

21 Unskinny Bop - Poison
22 I'll Be Missing You - Puff Daddy and Faith Evans

Puff Daddy's Police-butchering tribute to his murdered, fat buddy stands as the nadir of 90's rap. And that says a lot because that genre produced almost as much crap during the decade as American alternative rock. Puff Daddy is one of the most laziest, one-dimensional rappers of all time and even today it still blows my mind how everything he touched turned to gold for a short period in the late nineties.

Faith Evans can sing, Puff Daddy can't rap to save his life.

Heck no. This song is amazing you KKK members

23 Falling in Love Again - Eagle-Eye Cherry

At least "Save Tonight" is a nice catchy song, this song however...

24 Two Princes - Spin Doctors

Another annoying American rock band that emerged in the wake of Alternative Explosion. They were sort of seen as 90's hippies, almost like a new generation Grateful Dead. They were inescapable for a while, mainly because of this annoying hit, but thankfully they quickly disappeared up their own arse as their next album bombed.
