I'm going to try to stick to the less obvious stuff for now.

 

Technically from '89, apparently, but included on their first album on a major label in 1996.  1997 (single)

I can't say as I really like this song, but the video is pretty sweet.

Because ironic use of cheerleaders is my favorite '90s music video trope.

I don't think I even heard this one during the 90s, but this video had me enraptured.

And a lesser known Offspring single. I have mixed feelings about The Offspring. They're a little too punk for my liking, and they and Green Day are somewhat responsible for the great punk ruination of 1998. But still, some of their songs were very good.

And I say, "How about, breakfast?" to Tiffany.
She said, "I think I could go for some waffles.
As I recall, waffles are the best breakfast."
And I said, "Yeah, well, that's totally true."

Bought the album for "Superman's Dead," but this ended up being my favorite song on it.

One of the nice things about the '90s was that Weezer was good. I always enjoyed the concept of this particular video.

I'm going to cheat and post two different version of the same song. This next one is a Cake song. Cake has, for a very long time, been my favorite band. Accordingly, this is one of my favorite songs by them. It's from their first album, released in '94.



Now, we skip forward to 1998 and here's a live version:



I recommend listening to both versions. Cake is a band that expands and improves on their music constantly without being too jammy about it. The differences in the instrumental segment is what really stands out for me. It was vastly improved in the live version. What I like about Cake compared to jam bands is that I can't ever tell if they're making it up on the spot, or if these portions are planned.
