Off the top of my head, without doing much research on the matter...i'm going to say it was 1999. Here were some of the "hits"...

"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" - Eiffel 65
"Bawitaba" - Kid Rock
"Dolphins Cry" - Live
"Believe" - Cher
"All Star" - Smash Mouth
"Amazed" - Lone Star
"Bailamos" - Enrique Iglesias
"Desert Rose" - Sting
"Every Morning" - Sugar Ray
"Genie in a Bottle" - Christina Aguilera
"Freak on a Leash" - Korn
"Higher" - Creed
"With Arms Wide Open" - Creed
"Kiss Me" - Sixpence None the Richer
"Livin La Vida Loca" - Ricky Martin
"Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)" - Lou Bega
"Nookie" - Limp Bizkit
"Sandstorm" - Darude
"She's So High" - Tal Bachman
"Slide" - Goo Goo Dolls
"That's The Way it is" - Celine Dion
"(You Drive Me) Crazy" - Britney Spears
"You're Still the One" - Shania Twain

and of course...the #1 90's song..."You Get What You Give" - New Radicals...i think that's CH's favorite song ever.

Now...on top of some of those smarmy shitty songs already listed, this is when you had all that boyband craze shit start. A Teens, Aaron Carter, 99 degrees, all that shit...

and i mean, how did the world not end when you had Creed, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Kid Rock leading your "rock and roll" charge? Oh...we had to wait for Puddle of Mud, I guess.

So I'm sure that anywhere between 1951 and 2015 qualify...but god almighty, 1999 was just...awful.

Something bad happen to you in 1999 that these thoughts broke loose?

"All Star" continues to get worse every time I have the unfortunate experience of hearing it.

1999 was pretty terrible...I do like Freak on a Leash, though...

Some music gets better with age. However, I feel like some of the most popular music of the last few years will not.

I like a lot of those songs! 92.7 Kiss FM was my jam in 8th grade.

It's on the list.

The more I look at this list, the more it pisses me off. A perfectly acceptable alt-lite song like "Slide" has no business on a list with anything by Ricky Martin, Limp Bizkit, or Creed. I'd hate to see what you think of "Iris," the best late-era Replacements song they never wrote.

That "She's So High" song by Tal Bachman was, is, and will forever be terrible.
But I do like a couple songs on Zack's shit list.
Desert Rose, You're Still The One, and Slide hold a special place in my heart for purely sentimental reasons.

Westerberg co-wrote "We Are The Normal" with Goo Goo Dolls.
GGD use to be taken seriously, until Johnny decided he wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi.
Still some good tunes in the mix, though.

I want to believe that Westerberg wrote all their songs. "Name" could have been his.

I'm weird in that I can't categorize the popular music of my youth by year, I do it by school year. Some of the songs I think of as '99 songs may have been '98 or 2000.

"Heartbreaker" was late 1999, right? Can't deny how good that one was. And "Blue" was a classic, as was the eiffel-65 remix of "The Bad Touch." And "The Rockerfella Skank"! Good times, great oldies.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams came out in 2000.

I was referring to the Mariah Carey/Jay-Z duet.

I'd probably know it if I heard it.

P.S. - "Every Morning" isn't that bad.
If you took out the vocals from Bawitaba, Nookie, and Freak on a leash -
those are actually pretty good (from a drummer-trying-to-warm-up point of view).
It's the lyrics and vocals that sink those tunes.

Let's not try to give any credit to Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, or Korn...

Let's not forget "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty Bastard, which led to the greatest wikipedia entry of all time:

The Goo Goo Dolls were the band for people who found the Gin Blossoms a little too rough.

I will not deny that nor will I deny that I still like half of Dizzy Up the Girl.

Good musicians - shit songs, image, singers.
Right place, right time.
I've seen Kid Rock on a couple of different food shows, and I'd like to hang out with him and have a beer, or 12.
Durst isn't the wurst.
Korn I just never really understood, my childhood wasn't that angsty. But the guys in the band can play.
That being said, I've never bought, nor do I currently have any of their albums.
"Bands" like Godsmack and Disturbed bother me WAY more than LB, Korn, or Kid Rock.

i dunno when crazy town's 'butterfly' came out, but it was in the late 90s vicinity, and that was the fucking worst.

yeah and in 15 years, "safe and sound" will be considered "not that bad" by a lot of people from this generation too.

"slide" is probably one of the least offensive on that list but it is still drenched in pop sweat and was overplayed to death.

the point is, these weren't just random songs on the radio that year. some of those defined the end of the decade, and when you have ridiculously obnoxious frontmen like kid rock and fred durst leading the way, you're not exactly in for a renaissance.

but it's funny that anybody defends any of the songs i knocked, because god forbid you like the beatles or u2 around here...holy shit, it's over. but "i'm blue", yeah, yeah that's ok. that's good.

Safe and Sound by Capital Cities is a great song.
That reggae version, not so much.

I'm pretty universal in my music tastes. I love the Beatles, U2, and "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by the forgettable electronic duo Eiffel-65.

But no, "Safe and Sound" will forever be unforgivably terrible. "Blue" is just silly and dumb. This song is rotten to the core.

Goo Goo Dolls used to play the Ballroom back in ISU before they made it big. I can handle a few of the hits from Dizzy up the girl, but going back to "Name" and "We Are the Normal"...ugh. I remember hearing them when released and thinking "this is garbage"....they haven't gotten any better with age.

That overall list of 1999....man, that is some BAD music.

There were some bright spots in the early 90's but if you check the billboard top hots from 1991-1993....holy shit that's some garbage.

Whatever years when Rap & Hip-Hop started on the long and terrible Hair Metal! path.

By and large it still shambles about on the roadside.
