    By: Mitch
    • 10. Caroline by The Clarks
      A Pittsburgh Phenom. I have followed them since their 2nd album... Really really should be nationally know. www.clarksonline.com to find out how great they are.
    • 9. Crash into Me by Dave Mathews Band
      Love the band and probably my favorite song from them.
    • 8. Come Down by Bush
      One of my favorite guitar intros and one of the best CD's of the decade.
    • 7. You Don't Know How It Feels by Tom Petty
      Another great fun party song to sing with all your drunk buddies.
    • 6. The Freshman by The Verve Pipe
      A haunting ballad that everyone knew the words to. An instant hit and still loved by most.
    • 5. Runaround by Blues Travler
      Along the same lines as Mr. Jones, especially the fast bridge with "suck it in suck it in suck it in...."
    • 4. Mr. Jones by Counting Crowes
      A fun song that everyone tried to sing the words to but eventually mixed up the verses. Always great at parties.
    • 3. Lightning Crashes by Live
      A song that stuck with me, very powerful song about the giving and taking of life.
    • 2. Song 2 by Blur
      A fun song that demanded you turn up the radio and sing with your best accent.
    • 1. My Own Prison by Creed
      A song I felt like I heard before it was released.

    Music from the 90's is very special to me. The songs remind me of my highschool career and the carefree days of getting through school to party on the weekends. Everyone has songs that remind them of the best times of their lives, these are mine.
