    • 3. Breathe by Faith Hill
      This song really brought country back into a popular state in the 90's too, it gave another side to country, it gave people who normally wouldn't give country music a listen a chance to taste it and perhaps see it in a much different light.
    • 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      just due to the video really..it showed alot about what we should be more aware of...
