1. Merril Bainbridge - "Mouth"
Weird video notwithstanding, this sexy song is about the face hole, and in my experience, nothing makes a person hotter than thinking about smushing face holes.

2. Bush - "Glycerine"
Gavin Rossdale was, is, and forever will be the pinnacle of '90s hot boys. And this song accounts for 96% of that hotness. Dating Gwen Stefani didn't hurt either.

3. Divinyls - "I Touch Myself"
Every generation thinks they discovered sexual expression, and I love that for all of us, but we '90s freaks and geeks know that sex was discovered on the day that Divinyls released this song.

4. Janet Jackson - "That's The Way Love Goes"
You'd be hard pressed to find a Janet Jackson song that didn't exude sensuality. Between her silken soulfulness and the six-pack, Ms. Jackson (we are so nasty) takes me there. Bonus hotness: see if you can spot Jenny from the Block pre-Bennifers.

5. Sneaker Pimps - "6 Underground"
I still don't know what a Sneaker Pimp is, or if this song is about like, New York City's 6 train, but I know this song makes me feel things in our 6 Underground.

6. Guns N' Roses - "Don't Cry"
TW: This video contains scenes of domestic violence and guns.
I know that, in the year of our Lord 2021, Slash is definitely the hottest GNR alum, but in the '90s, boyyyy. I'm sweating thinking about Axl Rose screeching at me in a throwback flannel.

7. 4 P.M. - "Sukiyaki"
Yes this is a cheap and cheesy version of a version of a version of a song, but I have a soft, wet spot for a capella music. Especially a capella sung by gorgeous men in oversized blazers.
Listen to it here:
8. Frente! - "Bizarre Love Triangle"
If the love triangle ain't bizarre, did it ever really happen?
Listen to it here:
9. La Rissa - "I Do Both Jay & Jane"
An electronic bisexual anthem? I'm gagged!

10. Keith Sweat - "Keep It Comin'"
I mean, the song is called "Keep It Comin'," need I expound on the thesis?
