How do we love the '90s? Let us count the ways. It's a time that brought us Sex and the City [1], JTT, and along with them, sexy tunes [2] that were off the racy charts. Ahead, we've rounded up 50 of the hottest, heaviest songs — and as it turns out, some are a lot dirtier than we remembered. Have a listen, and don't be surprised if you start blushing once you hit play.
