i've started keeping a list of my favorite album from every year i've been alive, which gave me the idea to make a mixtape of my favorite song that came out every year from my birth to now while i'm still young enough to have them all fit on one mix. so without further ado, here are my favorite songs from the years 1990 to 2008.
tracklist
| 1 | The Breeders : Happiness is a Warm Gun |

1990: Yes, my favorite song from the year 1990 is a cover. As much as I love the Beatles' "Happiness is a Wa [...]

Track 3 from Pod

|
Track Description:
1990: Yes, my favorite song from the year 1990 is a cover. As much as I love the Beatles' "Happiness is a Warm Gun," it comes across as kind of a jokey song about sex. Kim Deal's sexiness is no joke in this version. SHOW LESS

Length: 00:04:16 Year: 1991 |
|
|
Track Description:
1991: Of course, 1991 brings us some Nirvana. This one's my favorite off of Nevermind because of the way Kurt Cobain totally gets inside the mind of a man who has joined a cult. "I'm so happy/because today I found my friends/they're in my head," is one of the great opening lines in rock music. SHOW LESS

|
Track Description:
1996: Rivers Cuomo makes it just a little bit easier being a dork. So many great lines in this song. My favorite: "How stupid is it?/I can't talk about it/I gotta sing about it/and make a record of/my heart." Although I also like the part about shredding the cello and Rivers' gangsta posturing - "I'm the epitome/of public enemy." SHOW LESS

Track 9 from White Blood Cells

|
|
Track Description:
2001: I know, I know, two TWS songs in a row, but I can't help it. It has to be my favorite song from every year. Lucky thing Jack White didn't release an album every single year from 1990 to now or else this list might be nothing but Stripes songs. Nevertheless, this song is just wonderful. It's difficult for me to put into words how much I love it. It's sweet but not cloying. And it conveys perfectly the feelings of childhood. Not to mention the cute music video. Sigh. SHOW LESS

"I lived with my true love and she lived with me./'Romance is the douche of the bourgeoisie'/Was the very first thing she imparted to me." Another great one: "She said 'you don't make enough to provide for me.'/I said 'what about the stuff that we quote believe?'" ...So I guess that's it.

Lovely idea. I laughed when i saw lithium because that would have been my favourite around that time too. Well maybe not 1991. I was 6 and probably would have cried listening to Nirvana.
