4.0 out of 5 stars "Jason has an awesome cd", February 15, 2003

By	retrowens (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

That's what my dad told some friends today about this album, Billboard Top Hits of the 90's. When you try and make a best-of from a whole decade of music, you're going to have people who love the track list, ones who hate it, and some who are somewhere between the two extremes. Myself, I think it's a great attempt of capturing 20 of the very best tracks from a decent decade of music.

Billboard Top Hits of the 90's has several songs that you would probably expect to see, such as "Breakfast At Tiffany's," "Right Here, Right Now," "Unbelievable," and "The Sign." It also has a few you probably wouldn't expect to see, such as "Bad Boys," "Free Your Mind," and "I Wish It Would Rain Down." That's where the controversy sneaks in at. I really like how it includes some hard to find, and/or underrated songs, such as "Missing," "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," and one of my all-time favorites (even though I'm not a fan of Friends), "I'll Be There For You." However, I would've really liked to have seen such songs as "Bittersweet Symphony," Sheryl Crow's "Everyday Is A Winding Road," and even Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise," among others.

While there is one rap song on the album, Billboard Top Hits of the 90's is mostly pop-oriented. I don't know what else to say other than to check out the track listing and see if you like enough of the songs to purchase the album. I saw that it had three of my absolute favorites from the decade, plus many other songs that are better than solid inclusions, so I had no choice but to purchase it. My dad's statement ("Jason has an awesome cd") surprised me, cause it was the first time I've ever heard him use the word 'awesome'. I agree with him, this cd IS awesome. It could've been a bit better, but it's more than worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ding Ding Ding... We have a winner!, January 26, 2005

By	C. Andenora (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've heard a lot of different 90's soundtracks, and none of them match up to this one. It has a good balance between genres. For rap you have Whomp, There It Is and Bad Boys. For the pop people you have Sign and a few others. Even rock has some solid songs like One Week, Wanna Be with You. My two personal favs are I'll Be There For You (The Friend's Theme) and Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something, one of the most underrated artist of the 90s. A few really good songs in the 90s are missing, but you can't argue with the results!
