Top Ten Singles, 1996 (was sent out to friends, not to P&J)

Here's my top ten. It's worse than last year's top ten, but this year was better than last year (meaning that this year's number 100 is better than last year's, though I've forgotten what either of them are).

SINGLES:

1. Hole "Gold Dust Woman"
2. Angelina "Release Me"
3. Los Del Rio "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)"
4. Quad City DJ's "C'Mon N' Ride It (the Train)"
5. Stone Temple Pilots "Big Bang Baby"
6. That song by Stabbing Westward I heard the second half of once on MTV.*
7. Butthole Surfers "Pepper"
8. Mary J. Blige "Not Gon' Cry"
9. Banda Rugido "El Vanao"
10. No Doubt "Don't Speak"

[*Song was "Shame"]
