I think somebody just dropped all pretense of an alias.

Not many, the '90s was a pretty poor period for music in my book. Dominated by grunge and hip hop.

I overlook that crap, there were still other good stuff around.

I don't remember any of those. Wasn't the 90's Blind Melon, Lords of Acid, and Champagne Super nova?

The only music worth listening to in the 90's came from the Pacific Northwest.

Except for the Stones Voodoo Lounge, of course.....

You messed up when you put Skid Row as being the best of anything.

I nominate anything off of DLR Band.

I thought most people liked Skid Row, never really come across people who hated them... anyway. I always (till Thick is the skin) thought Bolan/Snake were a song writing great team, Bach too.

Anything from Queensryche`s "Empire" or "Promised Land" albums.

Me Wise Magic & Can't Get This Stuff No More were 90's. I'll also give some props to Human Beings. A crunchy Van Hagar song that led to Sammys departure...what could be better?

You won't find a bigger Skid Row fan than me, but the idea that they put out the best songs of the 90s is frankly laughable.

I'll get crap for this, but screw it. Journey released an album mid 90's with Steve Perry on vocals. No mega hits on it, but a solid album, especially for Perry fans.

I like and used to listen to all songs on this list except the last two which I haven't heard.

I'm not a PJ fan but Black is one of the best songs of that decade.

Detachable Penis

by King Missile

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again
This happens all the time
It's detachable

This comes in handy a lot of the time
I can leave it home when I think it's going to get me in trouble
Or I can rent it out when I don't need it
But now and then I go to a party
Get drunk

And the next morning I can't for the life of me
Remember what I did with it
First I looked around my apartment
And I couldn't find it

So I called up the place where the party was
They hadn't seen it either
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'Cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party
But they were no help either

I was starting to get desperate
I really don't like being without my penis for too long
It makes me feel like less of a man
And I really hate to have to sit down every time I take a leak

After a few hours of searching the house
And calling everyone I could think of
I was starting to get very depressed
So I went to the Kiev and ate breakfast.
Then as I walked down Second Avenue toward St. Mark's Place
Where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street
I saw my penis lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven
Some guy was selling it
I had to buy it off him
He wanted 22 bucks but I talked him down to 17

I took it home
Washed it off
And put it back on
I was happy again
Complete

People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached
But I don't know
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass
I like having a detachable penis
