• 10. Snail by Smashing Pumpkins
  before they were big, but when I liked them best
• 9. Cowgirl by Underworld
  my first experience with electronica, and still one of my favorites
• 8. Magdalene by Alice Donut
  this band is definitely something different
• 7. Low by Cracker
  this band i thought was OK when they first came out, now I think they put out one of the best albums of the 90s
• 6. Freedom Rock by Frank Black
  teenager of the year is still one of the greatest albums. Too bad it's frank's only good one away from the pixies
• 5. Possum Kingdom by Toadies
  i don't hear enough from this band
• 4. Running Away Into You by John Frusciante
  this song by the red hot chili peppers guitarist is a trip in itself. the whole album was created solely for potheads. It has been known to get under people's skin (both sober and not so sober people). I still love it.
• 3. Crazy Mary by Pearl Jam
  I loved pearl jam in high school, and this song is among their best.
• 2. Dying To Know by Pennywise
  one of the songs that threw me into the 90s punk scene.
• 1. Reeko by Nofx
  probably the song that kept me in the 90s punk scene. NOFX is definitely the best punk band ever, and one of my favorites period.

I could go on forever. I tried to name some great songs that not everyone would know about. Why the hell do people list 10 songs by the same band? No band is that good. Remind me not to go on a roadtrip with these people.

  Couldn't have a list without them man.

  Depicts troubles of youth first hand.
• 8. November Rain by Guns 'n' Roses

There are so many more good songs of the 90's. it's unfair to just include the top 10. top 50 would be more beneficial

• 10. Greedy Fly by Bush (x)
  Engagingly heavy aswell as thought provokingly harmonizing. This song with with matching video meant alot to me. It proved that Bush was more than a one album wonder, and the darkness in the lyrics and imagery really spoke to me
• 9. Buddy by Weezer
  This band revolutionized the way we looked at musicians. Simplistic melodies and 50s pop mentality combined with lyrics that any misunderstood kid could identify with, Weezer were anti-fame lords who single handedly started the HUGE Emo movement with the album Pinkerton. And this song started it all.
• 8. The Odds by Eat My Brain
  Not particularly special in terms of musicianship. I suppose it just means alot to me personally. The Odds embody all that Canadian music was in the mid-nineties. This probably isn't thier most famous song. But fame eluded them so many times, why should that matter?
• 7. Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine
  in '92 when everyone was concentrated on Vannila Ice and MC Hammer, these guys were revolutionizing music. Mixing Hip-Hop, metal and socially aware lyrics in a way that had never been done. To say that these guys were before their time would be an understatement. It wasn't until at least 6 years later that they were finally recognized for what they'd done.
• 6. Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three
  This Matt Good sound-alike band may have dropped off the radar in the late nineties, but this song (their only hit), is one of the coolest songs to just rock out to. The stop start fiffage and keen meldic sensability keeps it fresh to this day.
• 5. Big Bang Baby by Stone Temple Pilots
  Muddy production and an intoxcatingly bottom heavy riff were the selling points to this lo-fi 90s gem.
• 4. Stinkfist by Sober
  Whether or not the world was ready for TOOL, they still came and somewhat conquered. Reverred by their fans as dark introspective geniuses, these guys were and are unlike anything radio at that time was playing. very dark, very meaningful art-rock seemingly inspired by King Crimson and Giger. But this track off the maddening reinvention album AEnima has a power over the listener that is undeniable.
• 3. Jack The World by Gwar
  Underestimated and underappreciated, GWAR are one of those bands that will live out its entirety in vult obscurity. This song with its crushing vocals, shredding guitars and cheery ska inspired choruses did nothing for their mainstream popularity, but won them alot of lifetime fans
• 2. Mary Janes Last Dance by Tom Petty
  Haunting, beautiful and insightful, the mad hatter Tom Pett shows that he can deliver the goods in a new decade with this easily the most tuneful of his single catalog.
• 1. I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage
  This band of producers know what people want. chunked out riffs, languished melodies and a beautifully deadly siren delivering the goods.
