    • 10. Killing Me Softly by The Fugees
      This is the anthem of my childhood; as in my best friend and I used to sing it all the time...
    • 9. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
      It's the Beastie Boys.
    • 8. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      Didn't quitew understand the part "take you down the only road I've ever been down," because at my like, 7, 8 years of age I thought he'd only just walked down one street in his entire life.
    • 7. High & Dry by Radiohead
      Everyone loves Radiohead, and for the jackasses that don't, screw you. :)
    • 6. Dreams by The Cranberries
      It's The Cranberries.
    • 5. Burger Queen by Placebo
      Even though they didn't exactly release as a single, I love this song.
    • 4. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      It was this or Otherside, but since this song came out when I was like 2, and I remember hearing it (probably) since then, it had to be this. One of the defining bands of the 80's, 90's, and for me, all of time.
    • 3. When I Grow Up by Garbage
      This is the anthem of my life....
    • 2. The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang
      This is one of the most awesome bands ever!! I love all their songs.
    • 1. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
      This song gives me deja vu.

    The 90's rock. Some people are stuck in the 80's; I'm stuck in the 90's.

    By: Adam Ice
    • 10. No Rain by Blind Melon
      The beginning of what may have been one of the greatest bands of their era, all cut short by the drug and alcohol abuse of their lead singer.
    • 9. Man In A Box by Alice In Chains
      Great album, and the most raw and talented band of their time
    • 8. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
      Melodic genious through and through
    • 7. Champaign Supernova by Oasis
      Incredible riffs, and highly powerful lyrics- can you believe this song is all about drug use?
    • 6. My Hero by Foo Fighters
      An beautiful tribute to the father of modern rock, Kurt Cobain
    • 5. The Dope Show by Marylin Manson
      A much more influential and cleanly written song then "The Beautiful People"
    • 4. Come Out And Play by The Offspring
      I'm still super pissed that my ex-girlfriend stole this album when we broke up
    • 3. Don't Speak by No Doubt
      From an amazing album, this song is an incredible ode to a love which would not stand, this is Steffani's ballad to her bassist
    • 2. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town by Pearl Jam
      Though not as deep lyrically as "Jeremy", an incredible up beat song worthy of a number 2
    • 1. All Apologies by Nirvana
      From the single greatest live unplugged performance to date.

    While it is nearly impossible to nail down the best 10 of the greatest era of music to date in my own personal view, this is my attempt at if nothing else highliting some of the many great bands which have defined my life and led me to a highly secessful 8 year run as a DJ.
