Top 10 Favourite Songs from The 90's

[an tha]

Inspired by the recent Top 5 80's songs thread....

 

There is no doubt a Top 90's songs thread already - but I can't remember it being around recently and anyway with no footy on and as a break from election talk why not have another.

 

The 90's is my favourite decade for music.

 

My 10 in no particular order.....would probably change a fair bit on any given day, but these are the 10 for me today.
