While the rhythm and rhyme are a little off, overall it's a great account of how the news rocks on!

Impressive job! I for one could not recall a thing that happened in any of those years if asked to...ah - the ravages of old age! :-)

3,4,5(the 5 for effort) after seeing "I love the 90's"I realized the only truly oustanding things about the decade were Disney Animation(until 1995),"Smells like teen spirit"and having a REALLY cool president.

What a bomb. An absolute BOMB! Anybody can just string a few names together. But too many syllables, bad rhymes, continuity a little messed up... The Hound Dogs could've done better than this! This song should be thrown away, what else do I have to say?

GIPE. I rated you higher than I normally would for all the pacing and rhyming problems, but only for the effort. 343

Excellent, brilliant job! You may be off a year on a couple of things but you did great! Reading farther down the 2 decades I'm with the Thought Police: things and events just get suckier and suckier. I had great hopes in 1990 and things got REALLY crappy. Also, Billy's career went down the tubes after Christy the "Uptown Girl" (she inspired so many Joel songs) left him for some New Age quack. Now Billy mostly just tours. This is one of my favorite B Joel hits and to quote him: all this crap, worse than before - I can't take it anymore! Terrific job.
