Nostalgia factor

-

TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas says people are still “hungry” for ’90s music. “That music was just so feel-good. If you had a bad day, you could throw on a song from ’90s and feel better,” she says. So how do the acts on Sunday’s I Love the 90’s show stack up?

TLC: The peak of enduring ’90s greatness. Ridiculous­ly catchy songs with enduring messages. All that and a bag of chips.

Sugar Ray: They lasted a lot longer than anyone anticipate­d thanks to songs that defined angsty high school love. But does anyone remember them?

Naughty by Nature: Hiphop hooray! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey ... . Blackstree­t: “No Diggity” was the bomb diggity. Biz Markie: “Just a Friend” and nothing else. Oh, baby, you ... . Montell Jordan: “This Is How We Do It” can still make your body roll.

All 4 One: Boyz II Men-lite. In the best way possible.

Snap!: Two Eurodance anthems — “The Power” and “Rhythm Is a Dancer” that fill the club dance floors on ’90s night. C&C Music Factory: A phrase — “Everybody dance now!” — that defined the era. Nevermind that whole lip sync drama.
