Rhino Records has a seven disc best of the 90's set coming out soon. Let's break it down:

>>Disc One:
01 "U Can't Touch This" - MC Hammer (If you were in middle school in 1990 like me, you had a copy of Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em This theft is “Superfreak” is Grand Theft Audio, but damn is it isn’t effective.)
02 "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Sinead O'Connor (Eh, whatever. If had you asked me back then why Sinead O’Connor’s career would have ended, “tearing up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live” would have been pretty far down the list.)
03 "No Myth" - Michael Penn (Penn had a great single called “Long Way Down” from his follow up album that only I and Michael Penn remember.)
04 "Ladies First" - Queen Latifah (feat. Monie Love) (No recollection of this.)
05 "Ball and Chain" - Social Distortion (Cool, Social D. Good choice.)
06 "Birdhouse in Your Soul" - They Might Be Giants (TMBG can be problematic, but damn is this isn’t one catchy song.)
07 "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" - Mother Love Bone (Odd to see MLB, but a good song.)
08 "Here's Where the Story Ends" - The Sundays (Huh, never heard this one.)
09 "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" - C & C Music Factory (Remember the controversey when they had some girl "visualize" Martha Walsh's vocals in their video?)
10 "Groove Is in the Heart" - Deee-Lite (Whatever happened to this band? This was a pretty good tune.)
11 "Right Here Right Now" - Jesus Jones (This had to be there. Doesn’t hold up at all.)
12 "New Jack Hustler (Nino's Theme)" - Ice-T (Shoulda been “Colors” or “High Roller” (one of my favorite early rap songs).)
13 "I Touch Myself" - Divinyls (I didn’t really “get” what this song was about when it came out. Hey, leave me alone, I was just a kid.)
14 "Unbelievable" - EMF (This had to be there. Still holds up well.)
15 "Hard To Handle" - The Black Crowes (“Twice As Hard” was a better song, but I won’t begrudge this pick)
16 "O.P.P." - Naughty By Nature (This was really a filthy song, especially for 1991. Great song, though.)
17 "Walking in Memphis" - Marc Cohn (Wow, nice sequencing. This guy sure fell off the earth quick.)
18 "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday" - Boyz II Men (Not my can of Coke, but Boyz II Men sure were huge for a while.)
