    • 10. Everything Zen by Bush
      A generally kick ASS tune.
    • 9. Shake Hands With Beef by Primus
      Les Claypool is among the elite, my favorite bassists. Most people never heard of this song either...
    • 8. Firestarter by The Prodigy
      Techno never felt this good before...
    • 7. Come Out and Play by The Offspring
      You gotta keep 'em separated!
    • 6. Basket Case by Green Day
      If it wasn't for this tune, I would never have become as hooked on music as I am.
    • 5. The Distance by Cake
      Horrible album (Fashion Nugget), but this is the one tune worth buying it for.
    • 4. Atlanta by Stone Temple Pilots
      Most people haven't heard of this, but it's definitely among the best tunes of the nineties.
    • 3. 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle
      I doubt anyone could say anything negative about this tune.
    • 2. The Becoming by Nine Inch Nails
      Godly...
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      In my opinion, not even Nirvana's best tune, but still the most groundbreaking song of the 90's.

    • 10. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit
      This song I play real loud when I want to do just that.. It keeps me out of jail. THis is one of the most rockin tunes that has come out in a while.
    • 9. Sabatage by Beastie Boys
      Who can talk about the 90s and not talk about the beastie boys.. Tibetin Freedom fests were great too...
    • 8. Hook by Blues Traveler
      This band is one of my favorite live bands.. John Popper is amazing on the harmonica, and this song is a great example of the bands tightness, and musical ability.
    • 7. Always on the Run by Lenny Kravitz
      Mamma said was one of the best albums from the 90's, and this is the hardest song from it, with Slash doing lead guitar.. Great riff, great tune.
    • 6. Feels So Good by 311
      311 is a great band that was realitively unheard of for a while, but they have always been a great Rock N Roll band, and this is a great song.
    • 5. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      We all know that Billy broke up the band cause noone is buying his records anymore, its too bad, cause this is a great band...
    • 4. The Impression that I get by Mighty Mighty Bosstones
      These guys are the best.. Who doesnt like a band that hires a dude to dance to the music on stage... Their live act is not to be missed...
    • 3. Killing in the Name of by Rage Against The Machine
      This album rocks. This song rocks.. Fuck you I wont do what you tell me... Who doesnt think that when your boss is yapping at you...
    • 2. Badfish by Sublime
      To pick one song off this album, or off Sublime, is hard, due to the fact that EVERY Subline song is great in its own right.. The lyrics are deep, and the music is pure.. RIP Brad...
    • 1. Blind by KORN
      Come on, who didnt get chills when this song rips in.. I was at a Rage show when this unnamed band named Korn opened up with this song, and NOTHING compares to the feeling of plain awe, and dumbfounded at how bad this shit rocked...

    Ok.. 10 songs isnt fair.. Want to mention Fire water burn, Bloodhound gang, Sex Type Thing, STP, Self Esteem, Offspring, Monkey Wrench, Foo Fighters, Age of Panic, this great band from england that I am sure not too many know about, but it rocks, Livin on the Edge, Aerosmith, Jump Around, House of pain, cowboys from hell,pantera, satellite, DMB, american music, Violent femmes, Teen Angst(what the world needs now), Cracker, Champagne Supernova, Oasis, Longview, Green Day, Cop Killer, Body Count, no rain, Blindmelon, creep, radiohead, Screamager, Therapy?, tommy the cat, Primus, Insane in the Brain, Cypress Hill, Sober, Tool, man in the box, alice in chains.. There are just so many...
