• 10. MMMBOP by Hanson
  I got it stuck in my head in like 1998, and it is still there 4 years later.
• 9. Hook by Blues Traveler
  Bet you dont remember this one.

Too many good songs to list.

• 10. Good Riddens (Tiime of Your Life) by Green Day
  Good song
• 9. Aint Nothin But a G Thing by Dr. Dre
  What?? Rap is on the radio?
• 8. No Rain by Blind Melon
  A one Hit Wonder. This song stays with us though because of the singer dying of a drug Overdose, common news in the 90's.
• 7. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  No 90's List can be complete without the song that defines 90's Rock
• 6. Hyberballad by Bjork
  Ahhhh...Bjork.
• 5. Satelite by Dave Mathews Band
  One of the musicly talented groups of the 90's
• 4. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
  Good Song
• 3. Radiohead by Fake Plastic Tree's
  Nother Good Song
• 2. Gotham Lullaby by Bjork
  My favorite artist. My favorite song. The Icelandic Goddess of Beautiful Music..Bjork
• 1. Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth... by Primative Radio Gods
  An amazing song that has a uniqe outlook on the 90's

Bjork Is Good

• 10. Mystical Machine Gun by Kula Shaker
  Brilliant...
• 9. The Universal by Blur
  Excellent song and excellent video to go with it.
• 8. This Is Love by PJ Harvey
  I luuuv this woman.
• 7. Yellow by Coldplay
  If you consider Coldplay a 90's band, this song cannot be left out. The song has one of the best lines I've ever heard: 'For you I'd bleed myself/for you I'd bleed myself dry'. I wish someone told me that [Siiiiiigh].
• 6. Wicked Game by Chris Isaak
  Cool ballad. I've heard it a thousand times and I'm still wondering how does Chris [or rather, his voice] do it to go so high [hormones?].
• 5. My Favorite Mistake by Sheryl Crow
  Nice lyrics with a pathetic 'can't-live-with-you-can't-live-without-you-either'touch. Very sexily interpreted by one of the hottest females on the GLOBE (Get it?)
• 4. Driftwood by Travis
  Pure poetry. There's also an excellent acoustic version out there. Other Travis songs I recommend: 'Why does it always rain on me?', 'We are monkeys'.
• 3. Sexxlaws by Beck
  This song is all about freedom. Ideal tune to cheer one up.
• 2. Losing My Religion by REM
  IMHO, REM's best. 'Everybody hurts'and 'Lotus' are fine songs as well.
• 1. The Riverboat Song by Ocean Colour Scene
  Amazing,awesome,gigantic,spectacular song by a splendid sadly underrated band. The Gallaghers privately admit to be 'the UK's second best band' after these guys. Also check out 'The Riverboat Song','The Circle','Hundred mile high city' and many others.

Say NO to war!

• 10. Lithium by Nirvana
  Another song by THE band of the nineties.
• 9. I Would Walk 500 Miles by The Proclaimers
  The one song which makes you really want to get up and walk.
• 8. You Oughtta Know by Alanis Morissette
  Great song by a breakthrough female artists.
• 7. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  Great song by a great band, a song that everybody knows.
• 6. No Rain by Blind Melon
  God Bless Shannon Hoon for making this song. Showing that you always fit in somewhere.
• 5. D'You Know What I Mean? by Oasis
  Cool song, even cooler video, teen angst across the pond in England. The 90's were all about people being themselves, and teens were no exception.
• 4. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
  This song served to broaden the scope of rock's new form, Grunge.
• 3. Everybody Hurts by REM
  This song is cool because it remains sensitive and angry all at once.
• 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  This song is one of my favorite, after "Teen Spirit" of course, but it serves to embody all the childhood anger that Nirvana expressed through teens.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Embodied the whole '90s theme, rebellious teens, societal angst . . . we just got sick of glam rock.

• 10. All Over You (All Over Me) by Live
  Throwing Copper is a must own album for everybody on the face of the planet. It's all good, which is rare. This song is the coolest, though.
• 9. Losing my Religion by REM
  There's just not enough to say about good REM songs... yep... not enough to say...
• 8. One by U2
  Okay, by now I've really realized that I'm throwing things out of order. This song represents good music. But let's not forget Mysterious Ways.
• 7. Duran Duran by Ordinary World
  I don't remember if this was late 80's or early 90's, so sorry, if I got it wrong. A beautiful piece of work.
• 6. Say it Ain't So by Weezer
  This song is about heroine... I think... but aside from that, it and Buddy Holly are two of my favorites.
• 5. Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
  This, Today, and 1979 got me into the Pumpkins. I actually would put those songs, plus Apples + Oranges on hear if I had the room. This song was darn close to being my Junior Prom theme.
• 4. Hero of The Day by Metallica
  I always did love this song, even when I would hear the ever-so-good, yet dark 'Until it Sleeps' before it... or was it after?
• 3. Corduroy by Pearl Jam
  Pearl Jam is just plain awesome, and songs like Jeremy and Yellow Ledbetter are also signs of the times... and are cool.
• 2. Soul 2 Squeeze/ Under the Bridge (tie) by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  These songs are why so many people love the band... until they hear some of the other early stuff (not that it's bad, just different)...
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Despite the fact that I no longer get that 'super cool' feeling, due to hearing it so many times, this song got me into music. And it rules.

I'd like to also thank such artists as The Refreshments, Presidents of the United States of America, Sting, Good Charolette, Foo Fighters, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Radiohead, House of Pain, Vanilla Ice (for all the laughs), Blues Travelers, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, and several others that I can't think of right now, but I know that when I do, I'll feel like a stupid jerk... Oh yeah, Tom Petty, Seal, The Wallflowers, Outkast (a little bit annoying, though), Blind Melon, Busta Rhymes, and of course, Guns and Roses. As Wierd Al once said, "Those were the good old days"

• 10. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  I wish it would just come and wash away the rain
• 9. Cool Like That by Diggable Planets
  how come they never had anymore hits after this song? You woulda thought that which such talent, they'd still be around. Oh well.
• 8. The Kissing Game by Hi Five
  nostalgic
• 7. It Ain't Over till It's Over by Lenny Kravitz
  Lenny is the man. nuff said
• 6. All the Man that I Need by Whitney Houston
  Whitney was all the woman anyone needed in the 80s and early 90s.
• 5. If by Janet Jackson
  if she was my girl, the things she'd do to me. But she's not! :(
• 4. Unforgiven by Metallica
  cool song where the voice took center stage as opposed to the instruments
• 3. If Your Girl Only Knew by Aaliyah
  great song with great beats and a great voice. I will always miss Aaliyah!
• 2. Wade in the Water by Eva Cassidy
  beautiful gospel song by Eva Cassidy, who passed away in 1996, and was truly the world's most unrecognized talent. She sang everthing from country to folk to gospel to rock to blues---and it all sounded good. Amazing artist who didnt limit herself to the boxes that the world comforms to.
• 1. Vanishing by Mariah Carey
  this is an amazing song with breathtaking vocals and lyrics and written and delivered by a woman with one of the most beautiful voices in the history of this world.

Runners Up: Go West--Faithful ; Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirit ; Celine Dion-Pour Que Tu M'aime Encore ; Fugee La-The Fugees ; LeAnee Rhymes - Blue ; LL Cool J - Loungin ; Mobb Deep-Shook Ones ; Nas f. Lauryn Hill - If I Ruled the World.........and so many more too many to name
