Auch um für mich selbst mal Klarheit zu finden, habe ich jetzt damit angefangen, meine liebsten Songs der Neunziger aufzulisten. Wiederum als work in progress zu verstehen, gedenke ich das Ganze mit der Zeit zu verfeinern. Generell muss ich sagen, dass die Neunziger musikalisch sicher nicht mein Lieblingsjahrzehnt waren, insbesondere, wenn man die Musik betrachtet, die am meisten präsent war. Gerade der Fakt, dass das mir so heilige Glamouröse und Majestätische eher weniger angesagt war, mag dazu beitragen (obwohl ich mit Grunge oer Britpop durchaus auch was anfangen konnte), oder einfach die Dauerberieselung im Radio mit Nullachtfünfzehn-Hip Hop und Kirmestechno. Da übersieht man halt schnell, wieviel gute Musik dann doch herauskam.
