Certainly not comprehensive: shouldn't be called great songs of the 90s

Here is the list of songs included: Achy breaky heart, Amazing, As if we never said goodbye, Beautiful in my eyes, Believe, Black hole sun, Black velvet, Blaze of glory, Building a mystery, Candle in the window, Champagne supernova, Change the world, Crash into me, End of the road, Fields of gold, From a distance, Give me one reason, Glycerine, Godspeed Titanic, Have I told you lately, Here and now, Hold my hand, Hold on, Hymn to fallen, I'd do anything for love, I'll make love to you, I'll stand by you, If I ever lose my faith in you, Ironic, Let her cry, Linger, My heart will go on, The power of love, Save the best for last, Say you'll be there, Someone like you, Something to talk about, Tears in heaven, Thanks to you, This is the moment, To be with you, Waterfalls, When I fall in love, When you believe, Where have all the cowboys gone?, With one look, Wonderwall, You oughta know The arrangements and keys are FULL of sharps and flats; so, it is not recommended for instrument beginners. There is NOTHING from the following bands: Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Hole, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Ministry, RATM, Alice in Chains, L7, Stone Temple Pilots, Coal Chamber, Black Crowes, Gin Blossoms, Semisonic, Letters to Cleo, Larry Gowan, .. Also nothing from musical RENT There is only ONE song from the following bands: Soundgarden, Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz Furthermore, many of the songs are actually from past decades and were likely included because they were covered by an artist during the 90s....but that is like saying that Kenneth Branagh's 90s Hamlet would belong in a book named Great Plays of the 90s. If it was written earlier, a fabulous revival or cover doesn't negate that origin. I really don't know how you can neglect to include Nirvana on a compilation about great songs of the 90s. I suppose it is a licensing problem? Anyway, with a different title like Easy Listening Pop from later 20th Century for Intermediate Musicians, it would be ok. Would not recommend.
