The 1990s were full of many different types of music styles inspired by unique events. There was an introduction of Grunge (see our list of post-grunge songs), Ska, and an insurgence of techno/dance music to fill dance floors.
The 1990s ended with the fear of Y2K and the crash of computers. Many thought computers would not recognize the new century. Nothing became of it but it did generate a great financial income for many. Without the 1990s though, we would not be writing this song list. Enjoy our list of the top 1990s love songs!
The Nineteen Nineties were the dawn of the Internet. Plus, Apple introduced the iMac.
We are not here for a history lesson. Rather you are here to learn about 20 great love songs of the 1990s. While providing DJ entertainment for most of the 1990s, we can definitely attest to all the songs on the list. Without further ado, here are our favorite love songs of the 1990s. We made our collection of love songs like a list of our favorite first dance songs too. For a complete list of 90’s songs, see our list of the top 100 1990s Songs for Weddings.
