How many of these songs from 1996 do you still sing along to? It is easy to credit the songwriting for delivering something memorable that sticks with you, but there are often more elements that go into it. How did the singer deliver the track? Is the music catchy behind it? Is it a challenging song to sing that leaves you wondering what was just said? Does a certain word catch your ear? All of those elements factor into the 12 songs we have chosen for this feature, and they remain some of the best sing-alongs you will get from 1990s rock.
It was in 1996 that we received one of the great stadium sing-along anthems in rock. Oasis‘ “Don’t Look Back in Anger” never fails to draw a stadium-full of sing-alongs. And speaking of “anger,” who doesn’t love a song you can shout along to? Whether it be Rage Against the Machine‘s “Bulls on Parade” or Tracy Bonham’s “Mother Mother,” there were some great moments to get aggressive in your singing.
If you feel so moved, we have included each of the songs along with the entries. Go ahead and sing along. The most memorable lyrics are provided, but they are likely part of your musical DNA at this point in life.
