    By: Jono
    • 10. Drown Me by Soundgarden
      this songs awesome. what more can i say?
    • 9. Tricky by Rum Dmc
      im not a big rap fan, but you gotta mention this song. it had a lot of impact.
    • 8. Berlin Chair by You Am I
      This is just a great song. You am I took off after this.
    • 7. Dont Wanna Be Left Out by Powderfinger
      a cool song from what still is the best australian band
    • 6. Israels Son by Silverchair
      In my opinion, frogstomp and freak show are the only silverchair albums worth listening to, and this song really stands out.
    • 5. Pure Morning by Placebo
      So damn catchy.
    • 4. This Is A Call by Foo Fighters
      who wouldve thought that a song about fingernails could sound so good? Dave Grohl can really pull off a song that is so breezy, yet has a whole lot of emotion, but still ROCKS!
    • 3. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
      Smashing pumpkins are an great band and this song stands out from the rest.
    • 2. Rearviewmirror by Pearl Jam
      I love this song. the guitar is awesome.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Easily the best song of the 90s. This song signaled one of the great turning points of music history

    i was pretty young when most of these songs came out, but most of my cd collection is still early - mid 90s rock
    By: Kate
    • 10. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      Good Metallica.
    • 9. High by Jimmy's Chicken Shack
      What ever happened to them?
    • 8. Drive by Incubus
      I like this song, yes.
    • 7. Mmbop by Hanson
      Mmmmmmbop!
    • 6. Stop by Spice Girls
      I miss them.
    • 5. Around The Fur by Deftones
      :)
    • 4. Kenan and Kel by Coolio
      The best theme song ever.
    • 3. Losing His Touch by Jack Off Jill
      Great song.
    • 2. Make Me Over by Hole
      I loveee it.
    • 1. Time Of Your Life by Green Day
      Everyone knows this song.

    Today's music is awful.
    By: ilovemychucks
    • 10. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
      I love the smashing pumpkins. Nuff said
    • 9. Song 2 by Blur
      Oh man this song kicked so many people's asses. Still to this day have no idea what theyre saying. But i love it anyways?
    • 8. Inside out by Eve 6
      I've loved probaly every eve 6 song there is. I listen to them and just think, summer, beach, guitars, sun...*drool*
    • 7. Wonderwall by Oasis
      I still listen to this song on a regular basis. At the time, i didn't really like them at all. But when i really got into the beatles a while back, i got a whole new appreciation for them.
    • 6. Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies
      This song was soo great, i remember when i was like 6 listening to this song in the car with my dad.*nostagia*
    • 5. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      This is a really kicken song.
    • 4. Criminal by Fiona Apple
      I love Fiona as it is, but let's face it, her popularity faded along with the 90s. And this song probaly got the most airplay before then.
    • 3. Sex & Candy by Marcy Playground
      Classic case of a band that churned out one grand song and were never heard of again.
    • 2. Glycerine by Bush
      There isn't enough bush mentioned here! Bush was a GREAT band in the 90s. I loved them. Still do. And they need more credit.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Like almost anyone else will tell you. This song was revolutionary.


    By: Alec Balls
    • 10. Betterman by Pearl Jam
      There are a myriad of songs from Pearl Jam such as Evenflow, Jeremy, Black, and Yellow Ledbetter just to name a very few. But Betterman was a personal favorite. Hard choice it's just my opinion.
    • 9. Satellite by Dave Matthews Band
      The range on Dave's voice is hard to match. The band has a great variety of instruments that you don't see anywhere else. This song is simply great.
    • 8. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      Kim Thayil's earie guitar and of course Chris Cornell's vocals make this song Soundgarden's best.
    • 7. Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots
      This song was on their Core album. This album I'd have to say was one of the best albums of the 90's. Everysong on it was great, this just happened to be my favorite.
    • 6. Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine
      When you have Tom Morello on guitar there's not much you can do to go wrong. With his creativity with making simple guitar riffs sound difficult and that infamous wah wah and whammy pedal, this song makes the list.
    • 5. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      This song was originally a poem by Anthony Kiedis that turned into one of their greatest songs ever. It moves people on all kinds of levels and definitely is top 10 worthy.
    • 4. Everlong by Foo Fighters
      Rather it's full band in your face rock or Dave on an acoustic, this song rips your heart out, caresses it, and puts it back where it should be.
    • 3. Would? by Alice in Chains
      From the beginning to the end this song was good. The opening bass riff gets you pumped for the song and the chorus is amazing. This finally brings us to the end of the song with that "If I could, would you?"
    • 2. Master of Puppets by Metallica
      11 minutes of pure greatness. Between the lyrics and the solos this song was extremely close to my number one pick.
    • 1. All Apologies and Come As You Are by Nirvana
      These two songs were just unbelievably great. Way too hard to decide between them so I had to put them both.

    Honorable Mention- any Nirvana or Metallica. Also, Live was huge as well as Collective Soul, CREED (sorry they didn't make the list), Marcy's Playground (Nice little one hit wonder), and last but certainly not least Smashing Pumpkins who honestly would have made the list but I only rembered them just now.
