Don't get me wrong, certain genres had better years individually. Example '94's list of top rock songs is way better.
Hip-hop/R&B in '04 was amazingly good, but the other genres aren't as strong.
'95 was just consistently good across every single genre.
Even when you hit the 80s and 90s of these lists there are really good songs that still hold up.
@Hobyrim Nirvana Nevermind, Pearl Jam 10, and Soundgarden bad Motorfinger, Metalica's Black album, and Guns and roses use your illusion albums all dropped (August - September 1991)
