What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Barry Nulty
- 10. Eulogy by Tool
Heavy, intelligent, atmospheric anthem from the amazing album Aenima dedicated to the comedic genius an modern day prophet, Bill Hicks.
- 9. Feel Good Hit of the Summer by Queens Of The Stone Age
I dare you listen to this song and not want to know the words immediately after hearing it for the simple reason you'll want to sing along next time!
- 8. Out Of Space by The Prodigy
The greatest dance song of all time. Ravers and Rockers alike can appreciate this classic tune.
- 7. Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin
The video that kept you up all night after watching it. The scariest looking creature ever imagined screaming with an ever increasing high pitch right in the face of an innocent lil' ol' lady. Pure evil and pure genius.
- 6. Song 2 by Blur
Sorry I was wrong! This is yet another song that gets every ass off its respective seat and demands you to touch the ceiling with just that in a frenzied stupor!
- 5. Teardrop by Massive Attack
Massive Attack's finest moment. A wonderful wonderful deeply emotional and involving song that will almost bring a teardrop to YOUR eye.
- 4. Scooby Snacks by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Just a pure happy sing along song.
- 3. Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine
Probably the only song besides "...Teen Spirit" that gets EVERY guy and gal out of their seats jumping around like crazy no matter what their taste in music. Its impossible to remain still and quiet when a band produces this much energy in a song. Get off your ass and scream!:"F**K YOU I WON"T DO WHAT YA TELL ME!"
- 2. Planet Of Sound by Pixies
If this band never came about in '87 there would be no such thing as: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Bush, Radiohead etc. etc. Black Francis INVENTED screaming in the middle of songs and the Pixies are the indisputed greatest rock band of all time. There would probably be more Pixies songs in this top ten if the band didn't break up in '91!
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
It doesn't get any better than this rock anthem. The perfect song. Kurdt Kobain admitted that the Nevermind album was "heavily influenced" by the Pixies Surfer Rosa album. In other words he ripped it off!, but we won't hold it against him.
Its an unfortunate and depressing thing to see people have compiled Top Ten lists with the likes of N*SYNC etc. in them. I just hope that you have woken up since you accidently clicked "Send Info" when you completed your list of what was, in your opinion, the BEST songs of the 90's!? Surely you were taking the piss!? These acts are killing the music industry as we know it and infecting our kids minds with filth and lies. Please in your wisdom stop paying attention to these fools and look within yourselves to see and know that it is just plain wrong to glorify, entertain and support the commercial idiots and corporate dictators that run the world today as we know it. At least just THINK about it!

- 10. All The Man That I Need by Whitney Houston
Whitney's first REAL soul song since 'You Give Good Love'.
- 9. Red Light Special by TLC
This is one of the greatest love song and is DEFINITELY better than the overrated 'Waterfalls'.
- 8. Street Dreams (Remix) by Nas & R.Kelly
Not many people have heard this but its REAL good.
- 7. Fantasy (Remix) by Mariah Carey
Mariah+rap=a very good song. This song was in everyones head. A true classic.
- 6. Regulate by Warren G & Nate Dogg
This is definitely one of the best rap songs ever. Nate Dogg is amazing in this song.
- 5. Weak by SWV
Too bad they disappeared, this was a good song.
- 4. Killing Me Softly by The Fugees
Truly a classic.
- 3. Juicy by The Notorious BIG
The lyrics are just amazing.
- 2. End Of The Road by Boyz II Men
This is a classic.
- 1. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
In my opinion, this song is not Whitney's best song and is slightly overrated, however, 1992 belonged to Whitney and The Bodyguard and this song is the best selling song of all time. Enough said.
Other good songs include 'Crossroads', 'Love Takes Time', 'One More Chance', 'Dreamlover' and 'Dear Mama'.

- 10. I Know (What You're Doing) by Dionne Ferris
Good song, never get tired of it.
- 9. ...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
I HATE Britney Spears! She's my least favorite "singer" ever. With that said, I really like this song. It doesn't make any sense, I know, but I guess this song was before she became a "superstar" and I hated her.
- 8. You Get What You Give by New Radicals
This was a great song, enough said.
- 7. The Sign by Ace of Base
Whatever happened to Ace of Base...
- 6. U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer
Whenever I hear this one, I think of 1st grade skating parties and making up actions to it.
- 5. All Star by Smashmouth
The summer before I was a freshman, I set a goal to memorize this song... and I did it!
- 4. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot
I just heard this one last year, but I love it. It's an anthem and as long as there are big butts, this song will live on.
- 3. Waterfalls by TLC
Whenever I hear this song I think of 5th grade...
- 2. I'll Be There For You by The Rembrants
I hear it every night when I watch Friends rereuns and I still haven't gotten tired of it!
- 1. MMM Bop by Hanson
Okay, cheesy, but it was cool when I was a 7th grader and that CD did not come out of my stereo for a year, so I think it wins.
DIShonorable Mentions: My Heart Will Go On, all Britney Spears except #9, Macarena, and any N*Stink, I mean N*Sync.

He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks a larger drink, he drinks a cider drink...
