      Masterpiece.

    • 10. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix a Lot
      C'mon y'all...this song IS the 90's. no matter how much you would like to destory this song, it will neva go away. Accept it and change the words...I like big balls and I cannot lie!!!
    • 9. All Apologies by Nirvana
      I love this song and it will continue to rock my tube socks until someone pens another tube sock rocking worthy song.
    • 8. Everything by Marilyn Manson
      Everything and anything by Manson was controversial and anti-cool in the 90's. Manson was the GOD OF GOTHS during the 90s. Mechanical Animals...that album started today's rally to save youth from corrupt music. Manson set a stage for the new millnia's "hard" bands like Slipknot and Mudvayne...Manson paved the way...
    • 7. When I Come Around by Green Day
      I remember hearing this song for the first time at the age of ten and seeing my destiny...this song is like The Who's "Tommy" of the 90's. Dookie pretty much summed up the 90s.
    • 6. Hey Jelousy by Gin Blossoms
      hey jelousy....hey josie..what's the freaking difference???
    • 5. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
      Practically forgettable until the noon/lunch break show on your local alt/pop station...then they just have to dust off this golden oldie of the nineties for all to hear...I want sex and candy, mama this surely is a dream....
    • 4. Pepper by Butthole Surfers
      This song is the ode to epic poetry...not to mention the clever name of the band.
    • 3. MMMBop by Hanson
      Freaking catchy song...anyone who grew up in the late nineties will understand this music choice...for this song is the song that always pops into your head when you least expect it.
    • 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      One of the best songs ever.
    • 1. Shakin' That Ass by Groove Armada
      this has to be the most annoying song ever written, produced, or even thought about, period. however, it has stuck around through the nineties and is now a staple for every music collection...YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THIS SONG NOW...THIS IS THE SUBLIMITAL MESSEGE SPEAKING!!!!

    • 10. Six Underground by Sneaker Pimps
      Melodic, beautiful effort here. Just caught me from the moment I heard it.
    • 9. Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
      I agree with the guy that said he's weird, but this song rocks.
    • 8. Stars by Hum
      You might not remember this one right off but it still has a real mid-nineties goodness to it.
    • 7. Don't Cry by Guns N Roses
      Hey I really love these guys. I could put all their songs on here from Use Your Illusions I and II.
    • 6. Pets by Porno For Pyros
      This may have been the late eighties, but I think it was around 1990. A damn good song.
    • 5. Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots
      This song rocks, although about a not so nice subject. You can feel the adrenaline.
    • 4. Firestarter by Prodigy
      The birth of techno, a great tune. Still the best techno yet. Techno that didn't copy the other techno. Stood out on its own.
    • 3. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
      See #2. Superb.
    • 2. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      This is a thing of brilliance. I listened over and over...Still do.
    • 1. Estranged by Guns N Roses
      Song just goes and goes, pure beauty. Axl claimed this was their best ever. I agree completely.

    I should add some more Oasis to this. They are a hell of a band.

    • 6. Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrmann

    • 4. Bitch by Meredith Brooks
      you go!!!!
    • 3. Good Riddance (time Of Your Life) by Green Day
