    • 10. Criminal by Fiona Apple
      She caused a lot of controversy with the video... the song is amazing though.
    • 9. Creep by Radiohead
      Very moving and emotional.

      Great song...

      Fun song!

      A lot of people listed Glory Box and Sour Times (also good songs) but I think this one is better. The first time I heard it, I was just entranced.
    • 5. The Freshman by Verve Pipe
      I used to listen to this every day...
    • 4. God of Wine by Third Eye Blind
      Slow song by TEB, overlooked, and full of emotion.
    • 3. Chinese Burn by Curve
      The best techno song I've encountered...
    • 2. Pure Morning by Placebo
      And maybe I'm a little biased, because Placebo's my favorite band, but I'd advise you to check this out.

    By: Mark
    • 10. Basketcase by Green Day
      this song came on like a storm when it came out and kickstarted the whole pop punk explosion thats still going strong today.
    • 9. Bombtrack by Rage Against The Machine
      one the most original, talented and important bands of the 90's and this song is their most definitive moment.
    • 8. No Rain by Blind Melon
      who didnt either love or totally hate this song? either way, classic 90's material.
    • 7. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      this song should be on every top ten list for the 90's. classic.
    • 6. Epic by Faith No More
      one of the most original acts of the 90's. all their albums rock but this song started it all
    • 5. Cordouroy by Pearl Jam
      pearl jam defines 90's rock and this song totally rocks
    • 4. Street Spirit by Radiohead
      could very well be the best band in the world right now. what i think is the best song on their groundbreaking album
    • 3. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      i think the best song by my favorite 90's "alternative" band. actually this whole album smokes
    • 2. The Unforgiven by Metallica
      probably my favorite song of all time. way better than "enter sandman"
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      without this song there would not be what we know now as 90's rock. "rape me" and "lithium" should also be noted

    other honorable mentions would include "Stop" by Jane's Addiction, "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots, "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys, and "Blind" by Korn
