3. Counting Crows, "Mr. Jones"
4. Gin Blossoms, "Hey Jealousy"
5. The Jayhawks, "Waiting for the Sun"
6. Adam Ant, "Wonderful"
7. Duran Duran, "Ordinary World"
8. Ini Kamoze, "Here Comes the Hotstepper" (Ex-cuse me Mistah Officah!)
9. Annie Lennox, "No More 'I Love You's"
10. Oasis, "Champagne Supernova"

I still love the Jayhawks.
I would have added:
"Linger", Cranberries
"Today", Smashing Pumpkins
"No Rain", Blind Melon
All from '93, actually.

Jim - Glad to hear that; they need all the fans they can get. I actually have to credit WARC for introducing me to them. Wish I could remember who played it ...
D* - Those tracks are all very evocative of the era, but I don't have specific collegiate memories associated with them; they are MTV flashbacks for me. Indeed, I actually should have included "Friends in Low Places," not because I like the song but because I have a very specific drunken-house-party memory attached to it.
