I am pretty sure I was present for this decade yet I found myself completely ignorant to the majority of these tracks. Upon further research, I have in fact heard these yet did not find them all that memorable. It could be that it was probably at a strip club and was slightly distracted. I however can not allow myself to suffer through this alone so I dug deep into the internet to bring these gems to you.

What really upsets me is that this song did not make it to the list...

  1. Hurray for Pat McCurdy! With that one clip alone I'd be way more interested in the Johanson ratings than the Nielsen's.
