    By: John
    • 10. Freedom/? by George Michael
      WOW! How catchy can a song possibly be? George Michael is just a great performer. I know this song is totally POP but its just too good to not make my top ten.
    • 9. Right Here Right Now/? by Jesus Jones
      Who has ever heard anything else by these guys? I know nothing of this group yet I can't get this poppy political hit out of my head! easy come easy go....I guess?
    • 8. Brian Wilson(live version) by Bare Naked Ladies
      What a tight band. This group shows how serious they can play in this humerous yet serious ode to the great(yet total FREAK) Mr. Brian Wilson. Lyin in bed a' just like a' Brian Wilson did...
    • 7. Staring at the Sun(live version)/Popheart EP by U2
      Two guitars, two voices, and one stage. Bono & The Edge sound absolutely fenominal in this 'unplugged' rock hit turned into a soul searching ballad. Only these two could make magic like this happen.
    • 6. Let Me Go/? by Cake
      Cool intelligent music. These guys dip into more music genres than just about any band I can think of. Keep up the good work.
    • 5. Jeremy/Ten by Pearl Jam
      Such a pivital & timelass song. Geat video also. Ten is by far PJ's most real albumn.
    • 4. December/self titled sophmore albumn by Collective Soul
      What a well produced song & albumn. Rollins is a true composer & easily the Brian Wilson of this generation
    • 3. Plush(acoustic version from Head Bangers Ball) by Stone Temple Pilots
      I can't stop listening to this song. Scott Weiland was cetainly @ his peak when he perfomed this song!
    • 2. Wrong Number/Galore by The Cure
      A total barnburner by one of the best songwriters of the last 1/4 century. Check out the aucoustic version on there greatest hits albumn.
    • 1. One/Achtung Baby by U2
      Probably the greatest ballad of all times by the greatest band of all times. Bono rocks!

    There were so many great songs in the 90's I wish I could have included but here you have my top ten list.
