Being a teenager in the 90s, the bones of this playlist came together fast, however filling it out to the 200-minute length of our Session playlists took longer. I didn't want 3+ hours of songs that me and other 40-somethings listened to in our bedrooms back in the day, or, more importantly, songs we hear in the background when you're in the grocery store—there's only a couple of each of those... at least for me, but I hope for you, too.
As always, the playlist is freely available on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music and YouTube with the links above, or take a look at the track listing below and add any of the songs to playlists of your own.
