    By: Ben
    • 10. Everlong by Foo Fighters
      A great song, especially acoustic on the Howard Stern show.
    • 9. Learning to Fly by Foo Fighters
      This song is great. Period.c
    • 8. Father of Mine by Everclear
      This song has a lot of emotion coming from Art, Everclear has always been one of my favorite bands.
    • 7. Lithium by Nirvana
      My favorite version is live at the 1992 MTV Music Awards. Nirvana will always be my favorite band.
    • 6. Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine
      This song makes you wanna get up and destroy things. Every time I hear this song, it's as good as hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time, it never loses that mass chaos feel to it.
    • 5. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
      This song is so good, I can't describe it. It's definetly classic Beasties.
    • 4. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
      Beautiful. It's a serenade that only the Peppers could've pulled off. Really like it.
    • 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      What can I say? This song has been overplayed and overrated so much, I marked it down. It's not even my favorite Nirvana song, but it's had the most impact.
    • 2. Creep by Radiohead
      One of the most beautiful and well put together songs of the past few decades.
    • 1. Santa Monica by Everclear
      This is classic rock. This is pure Everclear. Buy Sparkle and Fade, it'll be the best CD you ever own. I love that album, and this is my favorite song ever made.
