These are lyrics taken from songs released in the 1990s. No artist is repeated (okay, I might get an argument on one). Give yourself one point if you guess the artist's name and one point if you know the song title. Good luck. A link to the answers is at the bottom of the list. Also, please feel free to send me suggestions to add to the list. -PJR
