5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, fun album of the '90s hits! , October 11, 2004

By	Preston (nc) - See all my reviews

I thought that this album was very good. At first, I was skeptical, given that these songs have been played thousands of times on radio stations, car stereos, even sports arenas and stadiums. And the novelty value of some songs. I liked that they chose the Spice Girls Say You'll be There instead of that silly Wannabe. That song displays their singing and sexy vocal styles more. And lots of party numbers like Whoomp There It Is, Mambo No. 5, O.P.P., Jump Around, En Vogue's heavy funk of My Lovin', I'm Too Sexy and others. That Friends theme song is still recognizable a decade later--this full version beats the 30 or so seconds that we had to hear on TV. Some critics dismissed these songs when they first came out, but they have really held up some 7 to 13 years later. People still love these songs. I still don't like Tubthumping--there's about 4 or five genres going on in that song that's all about heavy drinking. But this is a very diverse album and it's about time that the '90s got its respect. They talk about the '70s, '80s. '60s and other decades a lot, but the '90s need its respect and this album justifies that! The mix and mastering of the album is just superb and top notch for its 53 minutes!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm too sexy for this CD, July 27, 2004

By	K. Stuckey "kateling" (Port Huron, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an awesome collection of great, upbeat music I remember from when I was growing up in the 90s. The great thing about the 90s was the diversity of the popular songs and, oh, the one-hit wonders we had! From longer-standing groups like power girl group En Vogue, Canadian rockers Barenaked Ladies to the ultimate one hit wonder Right Said Fred. They're all here!From the opening piano of "O.P.P" to the horns of "Mambo No.5" - I love this CD! Put it on, crank it up and dance around your house to show everyone YOU love the 90s!

2.0 out of 5 stars The Nasty Nineties, April 5, 2007

By	Rebecca Ann "macychick" (MA) - See all my reviews

This CD should have been called "The Most Annoyingly Overplayed Songs of the 1990's." With the exception of "Shine," every single track on this CD is juvenile, mindless, fluff that was overplayed on the radio in the radio until you were ready to scream! If you're looking for a CD that represents the greatest music of the 1990's, check out Non Stop 90's Rock or Forever 90's instead.
However, you might be interested in this CD if you want to host a cheesy 90's dance party. The songs are kind of fun and catchy if you listen to them in moderation.
