Blind Melon was to me the best band of the earlies '90s. It had a beautiful sound that it's very rare to listen in these days. The Sound Of No rain it's so pure and Hippie that you have to listen it.
By: Shanker Gopala

well, it still gets you goin on the dance floor!

By: OgdeN
- 10. Ironic by Alanis Morrisette
Simple. Subtle. Straightforward. In a time when songwriting was non-existent, Morrisette made it cool, and made Pop music her bitch. I think Alanis defitenly paved the way for the angry chicks everywhere. Props to the Creative Canuck
- 9. Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen
He's still got it. If I could pick the greatest artist of all time, The Boss takes the cake. Springsteen can basically do anything, he should be president. This song is so beautiful. Not only was it influencial in music, but DEFINED one of the greatest movies of the 90s, Jerry Maguire. Bruce Rules, plain and simple. Springsteen, you complete me. You had me at Rosalita.
- 8. Leaving Las Vegas by Sheryl Crow
I know I know, All I Wanna Do was the bigger hit off of Tuesday Night Music Club, but I think the lyrics in this song sum up the 90's slightly better. It has that survival/unemployed but gonna make it tone to it. Great.
- 7. Desperately Wanting by Better Than Ezra
Originality is what got this song on the list. The early 90's were all about songs that had a meaning, but were pleasing to the ear. Better Than Ezra was sort of the front runner of that whole group of bands and thats why theyre recognized here.
- 6. Dont Speak by No Doubt
I kinda want to make this even higher cause I think it was such an influencial song. Gwen Stefani totally conquers a role that has always been so hard to do for a woman, the lead singer. She performs her task with the utmost talent, not to mention passion, and though this ballad doesnt necessarily show it, No Doubt oozed energy, and still does. No Doubt may have not started the Ska thing but they certainly opened it up to the mainstream world.
- 5. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
Ahh, British Rock. We need British Rock, its like oxygen. In the 90's there was no bigger British band than Oasis and they play the soundtrack to many a memory of mine in middle school. You will always be my Wonderwall boys.
- 4. Dammit by Blink 182
Oh come on. I hate punk too but you have to admit, YOU LIKED THIS SONG. Blink created a new type of punk, not concerned with politics anymore, and thats ok, not all musicians should be politicians. Blink sums up all there is about high school in the 90's and identifies with a generation that just wanted a good time and needed a 3 man band to show them how.
- 3. Everlong by Foo Fighters
There really is no other band quite like the Foo Fighters. They take lyrics to another level of excellence and create poetry. I made #3 Everlong just because of all of their songs, Everlong is not only extremely popular but also one of their deepest songs. It sounds great on the album version, awesome accoustic, and UNREAL live. Dave Grohl is one talented mo fo, and this song proves it.
- 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Tempted to put it at number one, but I gotta give it to Kurt and Dave. Eddie though, gets the award for most influencial style. No recent band can say they are not based on the style Pearl Jam created. Puddle of Mud, Staind, Nickelback. These bands are spawns of Pearl Jam who learned from the greatest. Jeremy is their most touching song, though all of them should be showered with praise. This band saved music in the 90s, and made it what it should be, real.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
As great and as promising this song is, I hesitate to put it at #1. Is it the greatest song of the 90s? Was the entire decade dedicated to grunge, flannel and teenage rebellion? The reason I place it as number one is purely based on the power it possesses and the legacy it has and always will hold. Cobain is the only artist on my list who is deceased, and in my eyes that means he is the only legend of the 90's. You deserve #1 on every list, we miss you Kurt.
IF I HAD MORE ROOM AND TIME TO RANK THEM- DMB-Satellite/TLC-Waterfalls/Counting Crows-Round Here/REM-Losing My Religion/Lenny Kravitz-Fly Away/Outkast-Rosa Parks/Fiona Apple-Criminal/U2-Where The Streets Have No Name (really should be in the top 10)
By: Anonymous
- 10. This Space Reserved For All That I Missed by Spacehog, Blur, Weezer, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Etc.
- 9. Wasting Time by Collective Soul
Because it is as good as any collective soul song. Talented band
- 8. Omaha by Counting Crows
Just good music
- 7. Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots
Stone Temple Pilots were good. very good. This song shows that they can be diverse from their Core album hard rock.
- 6. Creep / Just by Radiohead
This was a toss up. Radiohead has perfected the art of meaningful songwriting and it was hard to narrow it to these two.
- 5. Longview by Green Day
Nobody likes green day, yet they sell 20 million albums in the 90s. They were popular for a reason.
- 4. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Message conveyed loud and clear. Not about some stupid topic like women's thongs. Don't get me wrong, I like naked women, but they really make weak subject matter for meaningful music.
- 3. Pennyroyal Tea by Nirvana
The most influential band for popularizing good, meaningful music. This song conveys Kurt's best emotional studio performance.
- 2. Alien by Bush
Written off as nirvana copies, Bush was never given the chance by critics. This song proves them wrong.
- 1. Nothingman by Pearl Jam
They are often overlooked because they got "too big". The reason for that though is because of their validity in music.
In the above list, I chose not the most popular songs of the decade, but the "best" songs of the most influential bands based on artistic merit, meaningful lyrics, and musical perfection. Not necessarily musical perfection in firey guitar solos, but more the way the music conveys it's own message to you that the lyrics alone would not. Obviously, cutting an entire decade to ten songs leaves many out, but this is more of a reference to the best songs, not a complete guide.
