• 10. I'm the Only One by Melissa Ethridge
  
• 9. Do You Sleep by Lisa Loeb
  
• 8. Let Her Cry by Hootie and the Blowfish
  
• 7. I Believe by Blessed Union of Souls
  
• 6. Foolish Games by Jewel
  
• 5. Brings Me Down by Collective Soul
  
• 4. The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe
  
• 3. Lightening Crashes by Live
  
• 2. A Long December by Counting Crows
  
• 1. Brick by Ben Folds Five
  

I'd like to put my opinion in here. I don't understand why people are putting various artists like N'sync, Ricky Martin and Lou Bega in their top 10 songs of the 90's. These artists are not talented and pretty much were a discrace to the 90's in general. If this list if going to be devoted to good music then why bother incorporating artists like them? The worst however that I have seen is mixing these artists in a list of actual good music. What is the point? Now I'm not trying to say that my list is better than anybody else's because that is just not the case. I did not take too long at making it and yes, there are better songs than these. But I feel that these are some of the songs that made the 90's amazing.

• 10. Creep by Radiohead
  Amazing song of self loathing.
• 9. Polly by Nirvana
  Most people don't understand the deeper meaning in the lyrics of this song. Based on an actual horrific event in which a girl was kidnapped, raped repeatedly, and tortured with a blowtorch Kurt Cobain shows the things from the aggresser's point of veiw...one of my favorite Nirvana songs of all time.
• 8. Possum Kingdom by The Toadies
  For me this song is the essence of the 90's.
• 7. Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins
  In my opinion, the greatest band of all times. This song is beautifully written, and comes with the most amazing music video that I have ever seen.
• 6. Good Riddance by Green Day
  Best song I have ever heard come from a pop/punk band...period.
• 5. Jane Says by Jane's Addiction
  This song got me addicted to this band.
• 4. Suicidal Dream by Silverchair
  This song basically explains itself. I love this song because I can relate to it on a personal level.
• 3. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
  Wow...that's all I can even say about this song.
• 2. Frances Farmer Will Have her Revenge on Seattle by Nirvana
  Not a big hit, really didn't even make a blip on the screen, but nevertheless this is my all time Favorite Nirvana song. About a West Seattle actress who was brutally raped, beaten, and eventually labotomized in a mental institution, this song is the most amazing song I have ever heard from the mouth of Kurt Cobain.
• 1. Muzzle by The Smashing Pumpkins
  I can't even put into words how I feel about this song. It's amazing. Sang with so much emotion and with lyrics that almost evertone can relate to, this, in my opinion, is the greatest song that came out of the 90's.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is by far the most overrated song of the 90's. In my opinion that is the worst song Kurt Cobain ever wrote. In fact, I would have to say that I feel that way about most of the Nevermind album, with the exception of Polly, Lithium, and Drain You. Go listen to Bleach, then tell me that Smells Like Teen Spirit changed the world.

  Nothing gets my adrenaline pumping like this alternative british rock anthem.
• 6. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  great voice, great lyrics, great song!
• 5. All Apologies by Nirvana
  Nirvana is one of the greatest bands. Songs like this show some incredibly peotic lyrics, a great melody with an awesome dark undertone.

  Green Day's greatest acomplisment as a band, and one of the best goodbye songs ever written
• 2. Glycerine by Bush
  Sad, beautiful, and true
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  This one's pretty obvious. No song before this has shown this kind of gutsy irreverance and animosity. This is why many said that Kurt Cobain was the spokesman for our generation. Brilliance at it's darkest.

There were two awesome rock revolutions. The timeless rock of the late sixties, early seventies, and the neopunk grunge that captured the early nineties. Rock has never been as deep or cool sense.

• 10. Wannabe by Spice Girls
  yeah, yeah -- we all hate it now, but without it record producers wouldn't have forced the pop phenomenon as hard as they have.
• 9. Everything Zen by Bush
  The first 'alternative' single that proved even alternative music would become derivative.
• 8. Macarena by Those Dudes
  Terribly infetious -- For a few months the entire world seemed fixated on a dance that no one seems to be able to forget.
• 7. Mo Money Mo Problems by Notorious BIG featuring P - Diddy
  And Rap officially went pop.
• 6. My Name Is by Eminem
  And rap official became offensive...again...

  Travis and Coldplay do not have careers without this song.
• 4. Long View by Green Day
  Blink 182 and SUM 41 can begin thanking them any day now.
• 3. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
  Without NIN -- Linkin Park, Limp Biskit, POD, Marilin Manson and Evanescence would exist
• 2. Ain't Nothing But a G Thang by Dre and Snoop
