Honorable Mentions to My (Forthcoming) Top 40 List

Before I post the my list of Top 40 songs from the 90's, I feel as though I owe it to those songs that just missed making the cut to write a short post honoring them.  While they don't have quite the meaning/memories behind them as the actual Top 40 songs do, this list represents the secondary tier of songs, the "deeper cuts" if you will, of songs that shaped my childhood and memory of the 1990's.

Perhaps this will whet your 90's appetite for the Top 40 entree that will be served to you tomorrow.

(Disclaimer:  There are actually 44 honorable mentions here.  I realize and acknowledge the absurdity of having more honorable mentions than actual songs on the list, and I take full responsibility for the superfluous nostalgia created by this.)
