I'm sure it's probably "Inside Your Heaven," thanks to AI, but I refuse to acknowledge that song even exists and thus shall not be voting for it.

None of those I would choose. Of that list, I've only heard 'tonight tonight' and 'give a little bit' on any outside source (other than my computer) and of those two, I'd say the Goo Goo Dolls was prolly the bigger hit (based on pop radio. overall, 'tonight x2' definately)

From that list, "Back That Thang Up" and "Tonight, Tonight" are well known and since this is the era where R&B and hip hop dominates, I'm gonna say that BTTU is the most well known of the bunch.

Yeah, I think "Back That Thang Up" slightly more than "Tonight Tonight." Remember, this was back when the big trend in hip-hop was to do songs about girls' butts, precipitated by Sisqo's "The Thong Song." Plus, I remember the video for it seemed to be played all the time on MTV. Perhaps retrospect is embellishing its impact, but these songs just seemed huge at the time, and the fact that it seems like genius compared to the average hip-hop song today.
The argument for "Tonight Tonight" is probably because of its beautiful video, which wound up winning Video of the Year at the 1996 VMAs, as well as the enormous sales of Mellon Collie.... Plus, it was following up "1979" which was a success at pop, and I don't think it's hard to see a pop station playing it between Celine Dion and Quad City DJs.

I also remember "Tonight, Tonight" being used in MLB playoff promos. I wouldn't be surprised if it had received TV/movie exposure from elsewhere too.

Of those, I remember "Back That Thang Up", "Tonight Tonight", and yes the "The Ketchup Song" the most.

Never heard of the Juvenile song and probably wouldn't care to...
The Smashing Pumpkins, Sublime, Carrie Underwood and Goo Goo Dolls are the most well known in my opinion...
And if any of you know me at all, you'll know there was only 1 choice for me amongst these.

Of the choices, Juvenile and Sublime have probably gotten the most airplay here in the Tampa Bay area. Although Goo Goo Dolls are getting their fair share too (we'll see how long they live on as a recurrent/gold).

Juvenille may have been bigger at the time, but Sublime has held up much better. Therefore, i vote for Sublime.

Either "Back That Thang Up" or "What I Got". I have no idea which song is better known overall, but to this day I still hear "What I Got" on one of my pop stations at least once or twice a month, and even more on the alternative station, so I'm going to go with that.

Well if we are suppose to be voting by which was the best known overall by the public, it would probably be "Back That Thang Up." But I do not know that song, though I've probably heard all of them before, the only two I can recall are "Tonight, Tonight" and "Give A Little Bit." "Give A Little Bit" wins by a landslide for me.
