Well most of this bands are one-hit wonders. I just tried to think of songs that are not played as often on the radio but are still really good sosngs. I didn't pick any of the obvious great bands of the 90s: green day, nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, etc...everyone already knows them. These are a few, little bit more obscure, bands that are worth mentioning.

By: Tom
- 10. November Rain by Guns N' Roses (1991)
Probably the best "ballad" ever released. Almost "epic" in its sound.
- 9. Lightning Crashes by Live (1994)
Probably my favorite song for the longest time. Great song from an underappreciated band.
- 8. Doll Parts by Hole (1994)
Full of angst and pain from the bitch of Kurt, who just blew his head off.
- 7. All Apologies by Nirvana (1993)
I'm not a big fan of Smells Like Teen Spirit, although I love Nirvana. Yeah that songs is the song of the nineties, but I really don't think it's a great song musically, but rather a song at the right place at the right time. So I picked All Apologies cuz I like it better, but any Nirvana song could be put here.
- 6. One by U2 (1992)
Great song about love, on probably their best album aside from The Joshua Tree.
- 5. Say It Ain't So by Weezer (1994)
Gotta love Weezer. Best song off that album. Runner up- The World Has Turned...yada yada yada.
- 4. Paranoid Android by Radiohead (1997)
The best all around song by the band. All the different parts are great. A masterpiece.
- 3. Disarm by The Smashing Pumpkins (1993)
The best song by the Pumpkins. Less annoying than Today, and more emotion that 1979 or even Tonight, Tonight... but the latter song could easily be put here.
- 2. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead (1995)
Probably the best band from the nineties (i'd say Nirvana, if ya know they were still around). It's Radiohead at its best, sublime and expressive. And I feel their best album, or atleast their most complete.
- 1. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (1994)
Trent Reznor at his emotional best. The lyrics are truly personal and heart felt, something all late nineties acts lacked. Pure genius. The Downward Spiral is the definitive album of angst in the nineties.
See a pattern here? Only one song after 1995.... Kinda tells you how much music has gone to sh@t. Oh yeah one more thing? What is up with all the Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach on here? #1 Limp Bizkit is the WORST band around. They have no skill, and Fred Durst rags on all other music since he knows he is inferior. (when was the last time Radiohead wasted time doing that pointless shit) #2 Papa Roach's album didn't come out till 2000!!!
