Pretend for a moment you are putting together a small museum exhibit on the 1990s. For A/V you can play one song on a repeating loop – this song is intended to give the visitor a sense of the decade.
What song would you choose?

The only song by them I like. Period. And a good choice.
I'll have to vote with you on this one.

This is my vote as well, as it symbolically deomonstrates a serious shift in popular music. Of course, the 1990's were HUGE for hip-hop as well, so I'd be equally happy with something like 'Ain't Nothing But a G Thang" by Dr. Dre or "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy. The later is the better song, but the former was more popular and (unfortunately), more representative of where (popular) hip hop has gone since.
"Long December" by the Counting Crows would have to be my pick... but - I realize that it may have defined *my* 1990's more than *everyone's* 1990's.
I'm so torn on Couting Crows. On one hand, I think the are pretty derivative -- Adam Durwitz wishes he could be Van Morrison (and thus more funky). On the other, their songs stick in your head -- in a good way. "Long December" is a good song, I know almost all the words, yet I don't own a Counting Crows album.

Well - if you ever get the urge, pick up Recovering the Satellites - so far as the 90's go - it's the one album that *really* sticks out for me... nice and mellow.
However, I understand that the Counting Crows aren't for everyone (but they do happen to be my favorite band).
Nirvana's Teen Spirit just fits. I can't even THINK of a more apt song for the whole decade.

I was going to say "Smells like Teen Spirit" but then I though about it a little more. True, grunge was huge in the 90's but I think it was "Nothing but a G thing" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg that really shook things up. It came out relatively early in the decade (1993) and by the end of the decade grunge was on the decline and rap/hip-hop was still going strong and just getting stronger.

They are a group I want not to like, but do anyway.
And why do I feel like I am in the movie/book High Fidelity?
