Yes, everything released by the Bee Gees in the 90s was very underrated.

Came here for Ace of Base - Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry. Stayed for the rest!

— @TheRetroGuy2000

24. Aerosmith - Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)

25. Sting - Fields of Gold

I just added a couple to my playlist...some hidden gems

— @ShaddyRaddyNY

26. Kiss - God Gave Rock & Roll to You II

27. Garland Jeffreys - Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll

I know one cannot argue taste, but there's a reason these songs were "underrated" and underappreciated. Even the greatest of hitters cannot get a hit each time they approach the plate.

— @jacksquat4140

28. 2 Unlimited - Here I Go

29. Michael Jackson - History (Remix)

Passionate Kisses by MCC is awesome!

— @dadll1090

30. Depeche Mode - Home

31. Jessica Folcker - How Will I Know (Who You Are)

midge Ure "breathe" how I loved this song !!

— @verolang4039

32. Marcella Detroit - I Believe

33. A-ha - I Call Your Name

I'm looking for a son that probably was from 98 or 99. I don't remember the lyrics but I think at the beginning the singer (female) would say *where are you where are you" and then she would sing out loud like Aaaaaah and say something and the background will repeat. She would repeat again this. It played on Canadian TV Much Music.

— @AnGElHisPANo

34. Whitney Houston - I Learned from the Best

35. Eurythmics - I Saved the World Today

I love that "Ready to Go" from Republica is on here. I bought the cassette single in the mid-'90s and I still make sure to watch the song's music videos a couple of times a year. Also, I hadn't heard Aretha Franklin's cover of "A Deeper Love" in about 30 years! I remember hearing many of the other songs in this compilation.

— @marcusdj813

36. Marc Anthony & Tina Arena - I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You

37. PM Dawn - I’d Die Without You

What has happened to mankind when the past is better than 21 century

— @tonyruggiero1

38. Bizarre Inc. Feat Angie Brown - I’m Gonna Get You

39. Glenn Frey - I've Got Mine

Erasure - "Love To Hate You" made it into UK #4. What's a pretty good result. I wouldn't call it "underrated"

— @МиссПарик

40. Scarlet - Independent Love Song

41. Kim Wilde - It's Here

Half of these artists never heard of

— @505bazza

42. Mr. Big - Just Take My Heart

43. Bee Gees - Kiss of Life

I don't understand why " One man in my heart" from Human League is never referred.

— @vilmavieira7736

44. Robert Palmer - Know by Now

Rip Dana Dawson. Beautiful soul. Thank you for including her on the list.

— @BigAlistair81

— @adammarshall4317

66. Chris Isaak - Somebody's Crying

67. Tasmin Archer - Somebody's Daughter

black & white footage became a major cliche in 90s music videos

— @jenniferlawrence2701

68. Toad the Wet Sprocket - Something's Always Wrong

69. Soraya - Stay Awhile

I love it when you rediscover a song :-)
But You could make the clips a bit longer -because you barely got time to recognize some of them.

— @jannikrantaniemi44

70. Coleske - Take Me Where the Sun Is Shining

71. Del Amitri - Tell Her This

This list is mostly semi hits by artists who passed their prime 10-20 years before their song came out or forgettable 2nd or 3rd singles by one hit wonders. There's maybe 5 songs I'd seek out to listen to out of the 90 😂

— @mikedidyk8233

72. The Human League - Tell Me When

73. Genesis - Tell Me Why

It’s like I put on a “greatest hits of the 90s” vid but that triggered some disturbance in the fabric of space-time and created a wormhole and now I’m in an alternate reality watching this.

— @clareatkinson2516

74. Boyz II Men - Thank You

75. John Farnham - That's Freedom

Peter Murphy "Cuts You Up" was 1990 and was his biggest commercial hit, but technically the album it came from was released in 1989 and I often hear it on "80s flashback hours" on the radio. But a true underrated 90s song of his would be "I'll Fall With Your Knife" from his 1995 album "Cascade". I do remember hearing it on the radio only a handful of times, but I still keep it on my 90s playlist.

— @wolfsage7589

76. Boy Krazy - That's What Love Can Do

77. Live - The Dolphin's Cry

Thank you !!!

— @DavideMontini-o4s

78. Lightning Seeds - The Life of Riley

79. Sailor - The Secretary

"Blackeyed Boy", "Home". Remember these songs. I was 13. 🥲

— @ivernik

80. Strike - U Sure Do

81. Foreigner - Until the End of Time

"PM Dawn - I'd Die Without You" me recuerda el estilo de "Smile" (Robert Downey Jr. ): ¡VIVAN LAS CANCIONES DE LOS 90 RARAS Y OLVIDADAS! ❤❤❤

— @cibernautablog

82. Roxette - Vulnerable

83. Def Leppard - When Love and Hate Collide

The 90s: The Last of The Great Decades… so glad we lived it.

Have they invented a time machine yet?

— @TruthThatReigns_B4

84. Tina Turner - When the Heartache Is Over

85. Journey - When You Love a Woman

Garland jeffreys...Le top

— @cecilegraveline

86. Michael Learn to Rock - Wild Women

87. Rednex - Wish You Were Here

Blue Sky mine ...j adore

— @cecilegraveline

88. Londonbeat - You Bring on the Sun

89. Curtis Stigers - You're All That Matters to Me

As a Canadian, Constant Craving is probably K.D Langs best song.

— @ericlove7321

90. Billie Ray Martin - Your Loving Arms

90% of these 90 underrated 90´s songs is forgettable.

I gotta hand it to you, I constantly am looking for hidden gems of the 80’s and 90’s, and out of this list I knew a handful (6-8 tops), thanks for sharing this deep often overlooked playlist

@arturocas90

@sebom141

I'd have also included some underrated songs listed below:

Orbital - Chime
Banderas - This Is Your Life
The Beloved - Sweet Harmony
Innocence - Natural Thing
The Mission - Butterfly on A Wheel
Gary Clail On U Sound System - Human Nature
Levellers - One Way
Inspiral Carpets - Dragging Me Down
Lena Fiagbe - Gotta Get It Right
Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby
Cher - One By One
Monaco - What Do You Want From Me
Ruff Driverz Presents Arrola - Dreaming

I'd also argue you should have picked Simple Life for Elton John instead of Believe.

Still, a great list (especially choices like Robert Palmer, Billy Ray Martin). Thanks for posting!
