Venerated British rock rag NME has already named its 100 top tracks of the '70s and '80s, and the magazine has now cobbled together a similar list for the '90s. It's hard to argue with the #1 choice. Radiohead, Blur, and Oasis, with three songs apiece, show up more often than anyone else. And even though it has some obvious problems -- "Don't Speak" over "Nuthin But A 'G' Thang"?!? -- it's still a pretty great list of songs overall. Check it out below.
