Remember what it was like to hang out with your friends at the mall in 1993, jamming out to the rock songs that would come on over the mall speakers? The age of mall culture for teenagers is more or less dead and gone, but the memories 90s teens made still remain. Let\u2019s look at just a few such songs that you definitely still remember from your mall rat days.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Princes\u201d by Spin Doctors from \u2018Pocket Full Of Kryptonite\u2019<\/p>\n

This one was likely a go-to at malls and shopping centers back in 1993, considering how popular it was and that notable upbeat alt-rock sound. \u201cTwo Princes\u201d by Spin Doctors had that pop-rock quality that made it a palatable hit, and that\u2019s certainly what it became. This song peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 3 on the UK Singles chart. It reached the Top 10 almost globally.<\/p>\n

Blind Melon\u2019s sole hit was all over the radio back in 1993, so it comes as no surprise that it made it to mall speakers often that year. \u201cNo Rain\u201d is a fine mix of alt-rock, neo-psychedelic, and folk, and plenty of young listeners vibed with it. So much so that this song made it to No. 1 on the Album Rock and Modern Rock Tracks charts in the US. If you were an MTV fan, you definitely remember that music video, too. Sadly for Blind Melon, \u201cNo Rain\u201d would be their only entry on the Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cLinger\u201d by The Cranberries from \u2018Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can\u2019t We?\u2019<\/p>\n

This jam from The Cranberries<\/a> is still their most enduring hit after all these years. And back in 1993, it was one of those rock songs that you just couldn\u2019t escape on the radio or at the mall. Not that you\u2019d want to, anyway. The dreamy alt-rock classic \u201cLinger\u201d by The Cranberries peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and No. 14 on the UK Singles chart. It also reached No. 4 on the Alternative Airplay chart in the US.<\/p>\n
