- 2. I'm Money by Zebrahead
Little known band with great songs.
- 1. Wonderwall by Oasis
I can listen to this song over and over.
Nivana is an awesome band, people should use their imagination when putting lists together. Smells Like Teen Spirit will live on forever, but think outside the box next time.
By: Adam
- 10. Space Boy by Smashing Pumpkins
I have been a big fan of them since their first album. They are truly musical geniuses. This song is an emotional song that I will forever remember.
- 9. Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
Stone Temple Pilots is the only band to get on here twice. Im not 100% sure if they wrote this song or not, but This song is great. They deffinitly perform it well. This is my personal favorites of the band. Just wish they could get a tour going without running into "problems".
- 8. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Im not a big fan of them....but its a well written song, and they are native from my area (Buffalo NY). This song is powerful. It deserves to be on the list.
- 7. November Rain by Guns N Roses
Great song, but was missing something......Im not quite sure what though...lol. They probably deserved better, but this list was hard to make......
- 6. Loosing My Religion by Rem
Im not the biggest fan of theirs, but they deserve a lot of credit for this song. Its outstanding.
- 5. Face Of Melinda by Opeth
Not to many people have heard of Opeth, but if you ever have a chance, go pick up one their CDs at the local media play. I think if I had to make a list of the greatest bands ever, they would be somewere between #1-4. They are an intersting metal sort of band. Listen to them.
- 4. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
Im astonished that no one put this song on the list! this song in my mind is one of the greatest songs ever written. Ever. It is a song my band loves to play.
- 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Pearl jam is quite an outstanding band. Eddie Vedder is one of the greatest vocalists to this date (April 5, 2004 There is no question in my mind that this song deserves the spot of #3.
- 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Im astonished that no one put this song on the list! this song in my mind is one of the greatest songs ever written. Ever. It is a song my band loves to play.I agree......It was a great song.....but its not the greatest song of the 90's. My band is based upon grunge, and Nirvana certainly inspired us.
- 1. Unforgiven by Metallica
Ok, some people will hate me for this but, Unforgiven is truly THE greatest song of the 90's. Metallica has written some outstandingstuff over the years. I didnt like much of their stuff that was written after 1990, but this song is great. It has all the elements that make such a great song. By far my favorite song to play on my guitar.
People need to realize these are the greatest songs, not a list of the most popular songs. Music has been my life, so I thought I would share to you all my thoughts on the greatest songs of the 90's.

- 10. Plowed by Sponge
Everyone seems to forget them...maybe not the best song ever, and whatever happened to the band, but it ROCKED!!
- 9. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
Twisted, creepy, absolutely addictive
- 8. Don't Speak by No Doubt
This song got me though more breakups....
- 7. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Breakthrough song of the moneymaking powerhouse that is Anthony Kiedis and Company.
- 6. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette
Clarion call to angry women everywhere.
- 5. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
Whoohoo! Just whoohoo!
- 4. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
One of the greats. A true classic
- 3. Possum Kingdom by Toadies
Why has everyone forgotten this band? They're brilliant!
- 2. Milk It by Nirvana
My depression/rage/I hate the world song when I was in high school.
- 1. Would? by Alice in Chains
This song is a religious experience for me, that's all there is to it.
In case you can't tell, I'm longing for the early 90's. I've forgotten so many songs they used to play on the radio. Runners up: Beck, "Loser", most of the Toadies songs, PJ Harvey's "Big fish, Little fish" song, "How Soon is Now" by the Cure, a lot of Pearl Jam, Spin Doctors, Gin Blossoms, Weezer (DEFINITELY Weezer),you get the idea. I do like the later 90's but it just doesn't seem to compare.
