Prisoners of Rock and Roll -- One Hit Wonders of the 1990s

In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re reliving the one hit wonders of the 1990s. This was a defining decade for us because it’s when we graduated high school and college, and we spent a lot of it slinging CDs in a record store, back when your local mall had record stores.

Music was literally in the background all the time, whether we were watching MTV, sitting in our rooms rocking out, cranking it up while driving our first cars, or helping customers find the cassette single of Macarena or Zoot Suit Riot. 

We put together a playlist of over 135 one hit wonders from the 90s. There’s no way we’ll get to them all, but we’ve got alternative rock from Blind Melon, Blur, the Flys, Local H, Ben Folds Five, Dishwalla, and more. The two single greatest hip hop songs of all time in the Humpty Dance and Baby Got Back. Singer songwriters like Eagle Eye Cherry, Duncan Sheik, and Jill Sobule. 

Nu metal, dance music, and all of that weird, quirky stuff like swing music, Right Said Fred, Haddaway, and more. 

We’re going to talk about songs you haven’t thought of in years and some you wish you never heard again. All you Gen Xers are gonna want to pay attention to this one. Let’s hit it!
