The Classic Rock Beagle's Countdown to the Top Songs of the 90's

It took a while, but the CRB's Top Ten Songs of the 1990's video is on the air.

Now this is embarrassing. The other guy made a mistake. Shock, faint, surprise. One of the last 15 on his list actually came out in 1989. The single was released in 1990, but it was on an album released in June 1989. Nice job, dobbs. You had one job. Anyways, Lenny Kravitz goes back on the Big 15. The rest of the list, you'll have to wait for the video. Aroo!

Last cuts among weeping and wailing:

Sugar Ray Every Morning
Jewel Foolish Games
Lenny Kravitz It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over
