Music just isn't the same now days.

Late 90s/early 00s is my era, so there's probably loads that I'll have left out. Will try to stick to 90s only:

Almost anything by Lauryn Hill, who made the best album of the 90s in my opinion: 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'. Favourites: Ex Factor, Forgive Them Father, Every Ghetto Every City, Tell Him

Macy Gray - what happened to her? Favourites: 'The Letter' (last track on first album 'On How Life Is' - inspired by her uncle's suicide note, 'I Try', 'Still')

Annie Lennox - 'Love Song for a Vampire' (truly haunting), No More I Love Yous (wonderfully bizarre)

Fugees: Ready or Not, Killing Me Softly
Eva Cassidy - Songbird
Pras - Ghetto Supastar
Sweetbox - Everything's Gonna Be Alright (love the Bach sample)
Ace of Base: All That She Wants, The Sign
Madonna: Frozen
Savage Garden: To the Moon and Back
Sinead O'Connor: Nothing Compares to You
Whitney Houston: My Love is Your Love, I Will Always Love You
Mariah Carey: Without You, Hero, All I Want for Christmas is You (one of the only good Christmas songs!)
Kylie: Where the Wild Roses Grow
Richard Marx - Hazard
Lighthouse Family - High, Lifted
Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart
R Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly
Backstreet Boys - As Long as You Love Me
Shanks and Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate
No Doubt - Don't Speak
Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
Eternal - I Wanna Be the Only One
All Saints - Pure Shores, Never Ever
Donna Lewis - I Love You, Always Forever
Brandy & Monica - The Boy is Mine
ATB - 9pm
TLC - No Scrubs, Waterfalls
Diana King - Shy Guy
Prodigy - Out of Space
East 17 - Stay Another Day
Sugababes - Overload
Pulp - Common People
Joan Osborne - What if God was One of Us?
Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
Alanis Morisette - Uninvited
Tori Amos - Silent All These Years
Des'ree - You Gotta Be, What's Your Sign?
Beverley Craven - Promise Me
Cardigans - Lovefool
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Cher - Believe
Coolio - Gangster's Paradise
Everything But the Girl - Missing
Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe (why does no one remember this song?)

Special category for songs that I appreciate both genuinely and ironically but still stand up well today: Aqua - Barbie Girl, Dr Jones; Spice Girls - Wannabe; Los del Rio - Macarena; Steps - Last Thing on My Mind; T-Spoon - Sex on the Beach

Thought of loads more 80s ones now too but already put some top ones in that thread. Is music really not as good now or is that just the usual generational view?- because I really feel quality has reduced at least since the mid 00s...

Amazing list! I second many of these (plus other tracks by quite a few of these artists) also

Lisa Loeb - Stay
Travis - More Than Us
Third Eye Blind - London, I Want You, How's It Gonna Be
Ash - Oh Yeah, A Life Less Ordinary

Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You
En Vogue - Don't Let Go
The Goo Goo Dolls - Slide, Name
James - Laid
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
Aimee Mann - You Could Make a Killing


I'm sure there's tons more but can't think of them right now.

James - She's a Star

Cornershop - Brimful of Asha

Divine Comedy - Something for the Weekend

Pretty much anything from Aaliyah, TLC and Toni Braxton

Emotions
Can't Let Go
