If you were ever alive and in a sporting mood in the 90s, you surely remember Jock Jams! They were a series of compilation albums that was sure to pump the crowd at any basketball game of the era. We’re talking about Eurodance and party hip-hop, where the club meets the arena.
Five volumes were released between 1995 and 1999, in addition to an “All-Star” edition in 2001. They ran out of steam quite a bit after the first couple, but they’ve undeniably left quite the cultural footprint.
So I’ve decided to rank the very best that Jock Jams ever had to offer, according to how much they embody the Jock Jam ethos. Which is to say, how much they make you want to simultaneously dance and cheer at your local stadium. You might not recognize all the band names, and even the titles might sound foreign, but you’ve almost certainly heard all of these songs hundreds of times.
