22 Songs from the '90s You Forgot You Were Obsessed With
You're wearing '90s clothes. You're fondly remembering '90s brands. Even looking at a choker makes you, well, choke up.

Icons from that era are doing throwback concerts and staging revivals, and that made us think: Which songs would we want to bring back? Here are 22 songs you forgot you were totally, utterly obsessed with in the '90s. Hear 'em and weep.
