• 10. Would? by Alice in Chains
  Layne Staley's menacing growl dominates this cut, which appeared on the soundtrack to cult flick "Singles."
• 9. How I Could Just Kill A Man by Cypress Hill
  B-Real keeping it real. All he wanted was a Pepsi!
• 8. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
  Trent Reznor is one of the coolest people alive. Very poignant and harrowing.
• 7. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
  Not sure what it was about either, huh? But it was a great song from the bald one. Not bald then, but anyway...
• 6. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  Immense song, any of Soundgarden's singles could have been here, but this was obviously the most well-known.
• 5. Black by Pearl Jam
  Say what you like about Eddie & co, this is a haunting song and anyway, members of Pearl Jam were in Green River, THE first 'grunge' band to emerge on Sub Pop.
• 4. Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction
  Perry Farrell was a dude. And still is.
• 3. She Don't Use Jelly by The Flaming Lips
  Remember them on 90210? Now everyone is their biggest fan
• 2. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
  One of the best ever music videos accompanied an equally hilarious song.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Didn't start it all, as the first 'grunge' vid on MTV was Alice in Chains' "Man in the Box". But everyone remembers this, don't they...

90s music could not have moved forward without contributions from the following artists in the 1980s: The Replacements, Husker Du, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Springsteen, Prince, The Clash, Green River, Mother Love Bone, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, The Pixies, and a whole lot more, but I'm getting tired of writing. Honorable mentions: Pavement, Radiohead, Massive Attack, The Cure, Jeff Buckley, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, blah blah...

• 10. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
  When I first heard this song, I hated it, but its really genious in its construction and the slow melody in the bridge is just amazingly beautiful.
• 9. She Walks Over Me by Hole
  Hole was my introduction into the angry female indy rock scene. This song has my favorite lyrics of all the Hole songs: "Anorexic magazines it smells like girl, it smells like girl!"
• 8. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
  Hands down the most influential band of the 90's. I think this song captures everything "Nirvana" in that it Kurt was a very melodic songwriter and it incorporates a sort of ballad in the beginning and a very grungy chorus.
• 7. Say You'll Be There by Spice Girls
  You might not like the Spice Girls as a group, but if you are a true lover of good music, you can appreciate the production on this infectious pop song.
• 6. Uninvited by Alanis Morissette
  This song draws you in from the beginning because it is modal and changes keys right in the middle of the melody. This seldomly works, but when it does, along with a fine performance by Alanis, you get this masterpiece.
• 5. Never Is A Promise by Fionna Apple
  This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard the lyrics are stunning and the production is apropriately simple. A Ballad at its best.
• 4. Longview by Green Day
  Green Gay "Dookie" actually my very first CD and for a while my only CD(I was a little behind the times)So I new the lyrics and riffs inside and out. This was one of the songs that I enjoyed the most.
• 3. Your Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
  This song was pivitol in my entire perspective of music because it did a perfect job of painting such an angry and emotional image. Alanis Morissettes performane and the lyrics on this song are immaculate.
• 2. Big Pimpin' by Jay-z
  I put this song second merely for sentimental value because it was my introduction to the genius that is Timbaland.
• 1. Down Rodeo by Rage Against The Machine
  To me, this songs lyrics expressed the essence of RATM and everything they stood for "So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun, these people aint seen a brown skin man since their grandparents bought one." Pure Poetry.

Doesn't Music Kick A**!!!!!
