Best broken beat songs of the 1990s

Hip-hop moved to the center and has not left. Grunge cleared out the arena rock standing in front of it. Dance music grew an audience that listened at home rather than in a club, while sample clearance got expensive enough that producers had to get sharper about what they took.

Songs from the broken beat albums of the 1990s, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
