By: Jason
- 10. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This was a Chili Peppers classic, who could not like this song.
- 9. Let Her Cry by Hootie And The Blowfish
The melancholy hit from Hootie and the Blowfish, this song was key in the pop rock part of the 90's
- 8. Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam non-album radio classic...this song is probably one of their best overall
- 7. Find A Way by A Tribe Called Quest
One of the final and best songs from one of the most influential groups for Hip Hop
- 6. Stinkfist by Tool
One of the best hard rock/metal songs of the 90's from one of the top bands of the 90's
- 5. Glycerine by Bush
One of Bush's best songs...one single guitar with an alternative touch, this song couldn't be wrong
- 4. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
Another classic from the grunge era that was so prevalent in the 90's
- 3. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
One of the greatest songs that STP ever wrote, and one of the best songs of 92/93
- 2. Alive by Pearl Jam
Again...im not a big Pearl Jam fan, but this song did a lot for the grunge music scenen in the 90's
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Im not a big Nirvana fan...but this song defines the 90's rock scene
There are so many more classics from the best era of music yet that I couldn't fit on this list...candlebox, more tool, no doubt,presidents of the united states of america, more tribe called quest, sheryl crow, dave matthews band, live, ben folds five, de la soul, notorious big, 2pac, the cranberries, and whoever else im leaving out that makes up the great period of music

- 9. One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
- 8. End of the Road by Boyz II Men
- 7. Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey
- 6. Fantasy by Mariah Carey
- 5. You'll See by Madonna
- 4. It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion
- 3. Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams
- 2. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
- 1. My All by Mariah Carey
Quite simply the perfect pop ballad - music, vocals, emotion are all amazing
By: David Kerr
- 10. Jars of Clay by Flood
Christian music's first big hit. Even more importantly, amazing vocals combines with fabulous guitar and bass. It deserves it's #10 ranking. (Even better live)
- 9. All For You by Sister Hazel
An amazing song. I don't know if there is much else to say about it. Simply amazing. If only Sister Hazel did now what they used to do.
- 8. Ana's Song by Silverchair
Amazing lyrics, vocals, and rhythm. Uses normal chords abnormally, and makes me love their music.
- 7. Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms
Their only hit, but it was a big one. I still know people that know all the words.
- 6. Slide by Goo Goo Dolls
As the Goo Goo Dolls moved away from harder rock, they found a good sound that became a mold for other bands. Great song, great sound, great band.
- 5. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan was so much better as part of the pumpkins. Hopefully his new band, Zwan, starts sounding like them.
- 4. Lightning Crashes by Live
Mellow when it needs to be, rougher when it needs to be. This song did everything, and had amazingly deep lyrics. *believe it or not*
- 3. Closing Time by Semisonic
It's great! Enough said.
- 2. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
I know you loved it! I know it! I still know all the words! LOL
- 1. 6th Avenue Heartache by The Wallflowers
Maybe Jakob Dylan is trying to copy his father, but this song is the best song to come out of the 90s. Jakob has lyrical and vocal talent, and The Wallflowers are definitely the best band of the 90s.
I know most of them are mainstream, but that's all I really like in the 90s. Don't like my list? Sorry!

- 3. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
- 2. Aenima by Tool
- 1. The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe
I don't think there is too much to comment on each of the songs, because most of them speak for themselves. I've tried to put songs on here that have personal meanings to me, and are musically great in themselves.
