Five legendary massive 90s airplay hits... with no physical single for sale
But because of old Billboard rules, 2 of them weren't allowed to chart, 1 of them charted as a double single with other less famous song, and 2 of them finally charted but way past their airplay peak (Torn no. 42 Hot 100, Iris no. 9 Hot 100).
Which one is YOUR LEAST FAVORITE????

I never liked Iris....overrated
My favorite is definitely Fugees.

Never really cared for I'll Be There For You. Then again, I'm not really into Friends either, so that might factor into my relative distaste for it.
If Fly by Sugar Ray ft. Super Cat were in this poll, that would've been a close second for me. Don't really care for that one either, even if it's a bit more unique.

I liked them all at one point or another but if I had to hear them all today, Iris would be the one I'd least want to listen to.

All of them are genuinely good, besides the Friends theme, which I don’t see much outside of the show it’s from.

Not familiar with the last one, so I choose that one by default.

"I'll Be There For You" is perfect for a theme song, but I have no interest in ever hearing it outside of Friends, especially in full length form. "Iris" is okay, but it's my second least favorite here.

The Killing Me Softly cover is the worst one for me. I always switch the station when I know they are going to play the Fugees version.

All five of these are really good and iconic, but I easily enjoy "Killing Me Softly" less than any of the others, which are all among my favourites. Not surprised at this result, though.

At this point I don't like any of them, but I voted for "I'll Be There For You."

Iris is easily one of my least favorite 90's songs. Killing Me Softly and Don't Speak were both deserved #1's.

Voted for The Fugees. Not a fan of the "Killing Me Softly" remake. But I like the original one.

I don't mind the remake or original of Killing me Softly. Cam someone tell me what's wrong with the song and why you do not like it?
