(Finished January 17th, 2025) Part 1 of The Top 200 Rock Songs of the 90s: Songs 200-183

Hello,

This is the most bizarre rock countdown I've ever seen. It has several songs by Maria McKee (who?), The Allman Brothers (they were okay in the 70s) and Saraya (Who? Part 2). I would much more prefer my Top 200 90s rock countdown, but this one is easier to work with in this context. If you want to look at the website where this countdown resides: https://www.classicrockhistory.com/top-200-rock-songs-of-the-90s/

It seems I published an older countdown? I'm not sure, but the list that came from the current Classic Rock History doesn't match up with what I have. I have no idea what I was doing. I'm going to keep the previous blogs as is and start all over with song 200.

182-167, 166-148, 147-131, 130-114, 113-97, 96-80, 79-63, 62-46, 45-28, 27-15, 14-1

I wasn't even aware of this song back in the 90s, or now, until I started working on this blog series. 200) The Allman Brothers Band "Kind of Bird":

May I suggest this song instead K's Choice "Not An Addict":

199) Bob Dylan "Love Sick":

May I suggest instead L7 "Pretend We're Dead":

This is a perfectly fine song..198) Bruce Springsteen "Local Hero":

...may I suggest this Bruce song "Human Touch":

197) U2 "Numb":

196) Sheryl Crow "Strong Enough":

195) Metallica "Nothing Else Matters":

This song is much better than I remember. 194) The Rolling Stones "Love Is Strong":

Staying with the Stones I'd put "Highwire" here over the above song.

193) The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony":

\

This song should be much, much higher. 192) The Goo Goo Dolls "Iris":

191) Stevie Ray Vaughan/ Jimmie Vaughan "Hard To Be":

I'd much rather listen to this Robert Cray classic "The Forecast (Calls For Pain)":

190) Meat Loaf "Out of the Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)":

189) Foghat "Jump The Train":

Foghat? The 90's weren't the 70s, the rock is much harder in the 90s. We'll stay with a one name band though. Jackyl "I Stand Alone":

188) John Mellencamp "Your Life Is Now":

187) Fleetwood Mac "Love Is Dangerous":

186) Mother Love Bone "Come Bite The Apple":

A good song, but probably not even a Top 1000 90s rock song. 185) Paul McCartney "The World Tonight":

184) Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way":

This song should be up at least 150 notches. I dislike the video, but this is one hell of a song. 183) Blink-182 "All The Small Things":
