We've reached 1995 in our ongoing exploration of the top 20 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 for each year of the 90s, and this time the choices were REALLY impossible. Listen for our excellent discussion of some incredible songs, plus: crises of faith, freaks, "freak flags," school dances, personalized silk pajama sets, skin hunger, Fantasia, rollerblading, and a little something we like to call the "Advent Calendar of Loneliness."

We decided to tackle the '90s output of Silverchair. We discussed the simple wisdom of youth and gave Daniel Johns some constructive criticism about his hair.  Our theme song is original music by Golden West Service & Shreddie Vedder.

On this episode, we each chose our top three '90s songs of the '70s. We had a lot of different thoughts about what that could mean, and we explored as many of those as possible to arrive at the songs from the '70s that feel the most '90s to us.   Our theme song is original music by Golden West Service & Shreddie Vedder.
