Ok. I will collect these lists and tabulate them once I am done with the 70s. Once I get down to 64, I will turn the list over to @Wolf and he can run the madness from it.

[Aaron]

It’s 20 songs from each of us?

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Yes. Just must have charted on any chart in the 1990s or been released in the 1990s.

#3 "Hand In My Pocket" Alanis Morrisette

More evidence that the Billboard #1 list sucks. Nothing from Jagged Little Pill.

I don't plan on starting the Madness right away. I'll try and get my list together by this weekend.

Thanks for assisting by setting everything up.

I won't do the tabulations until the 70s unmadness is over so no rush,

 

[Wolf]

I won't do the tabulations until the 70s unmadness is over so no rush,

I actually have some free time this morning before a couple of meetings.

I'm flying through the #1 hit song list. I only have 1990 and 1991 left to finish. After that, I'll add some other songs that I think should have been on the list some of my personal favorites.

Of course, the hard part will be cutting it down to a Top 20 and ranking them.

This will probably be the first decade for which I've created a ranked list of favorite songs. The '70s and '80s helped me get started on the project, but I still haven't gone back and finished those lists.

I have a top 424 list of all my favourites. Those are all my ***** songs. I am in the process or organizing my **** songs to add to that list. I use these lists as the basis for the other lists filtering out songs that do not qualify. Then i augment with my *** songs if needed.

IRBS, I wonder how many stars you give this 1974 hit. Vocalist Gerry Rafferty would go solo and have a #2 hit four years later with Baker Street.

This is the first I am hearing it. It's not bad but I am not moved enough to buy it from Apple to add to my library. Being in my library is the first criteria to being rated with *s. If a song is not available, it is not in my library and therefore unrated and therefore not in my list. I am not aware of any which would be **** or ***** songs that I do not own however.

 

[Wolf]

I finished going through the Billboard #1 hit list and am now adding additional songs that I think deserve consideration. My list currently has more than 75 songs.

There are three songs that were Billboard #1 hits in the 1990s, but they were actually released in 1989, so I don't think they should count for a 1990s ranking:

• Alannah Myles "Black Velvet"
• Michael Bolton "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You"
• Paula Abdul & The Wild Pair "Opposites Attract"

Also, while I like this duet version, the song itself is really a 1970s song:

• George Michael & Elton John "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

So I'll probably exclude these from my final 1990s rankings, even though they were major hits during the decade.

If they appeared on ANY 1990s chart OR were released in the 1990s they are good.

Can I make a prediction on who's gonna win this madness?

 

[Wolf]

Can I make a prediction on who's gonna win this madness?

These one hit wonder band.

 

[sadchild]

Does he like butter tarts?

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Can I make a prediction on who's gonna win this madness?

I am not going to comment on what I think of these particular tracks out of respect for fellow DRCers. But if they win it will be sad. I have faith that they will not win the unmadness and hopeful they will not win the madness.
