Looking Back On A Week When We Obsessively Looked Back At The ’90s

• 20,000 Googlers agree: The words “VH1′s 100 Greatest Songs Of The 90s” are the new “Zac Efron.”
• We felt a little ’90s emo, and then wondered if we could stretch that emo feeling out over two weeks.
• We lamented two hours spent watching Akon and friends dressed up like Super Mario Bros. 2 villains when we could have just been playing Super Mario Bros. 2. (Or BurgerTime, for that matter.)
• Our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament got eight times uglier.
• No, you’re not metal enough for Slayer.
• We sent one intrepid reporter ice skating with Seal. (Well, not literally.)
• Just how useless are music bloggers?
• Lil Wayne: not as down with Zac Efron as we are. (Zac Efron!)
• We learned not to lend Dolly Parton’s brother any money, because he’ll just spend it on trips to Biscuit Time.
• Team coverage of Jingle Ball 2007 was nearly derailed by Kate getting bumrushed by crazed Jonas Brothers fans.
• And don’t forget, if you’re a music critic, you only have, like, hours left to vote in our Idolator Pop 07 poll! The deadline is midnight tonight. That’s Friday, Dec. 21, on or before 11:59 p.m. Get those ballots in!
