By: Jake
- 10. Psycho by System Of A Down
It was very hard picking one System song, because every song they've written rocks. This one is just about the best.
- 9. Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit
All Limp Bizkit albums suck apart from the first one, and this is the best song they've ever done by a mile.
- 8. Blame by Korn
Deep and dark, this is the new age of Korn, and it rocks.
- 7. I'm With Stupid by Static X
Very dumb, but in a good way.

Great lyrics and screechy guitars. Best album opener in a long time.
- 5. Trigger by In Flames
The defining rock song of the decade (screw Nirvana).
- 4. The Gillette Calvacade Of Sports by Glassjaw
Best band in the world right now, Glassjaw have made a ton of good songs, but this one beats all. Its fast, weird and funny.
- 3. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
Creepy and violent, this is Trent Reznor at his best.
- 2. Mx by Deftones
Chino Moreno's voice is just so amazing. The song is kind of sexy too...

The saddest and most disturbing song ever, it'll make you cry, or at least depressed.
I had to do this, because pretty much all of the other lists here SUCKED BIG TIME in my opinion.
By: Okk
- 10. Pretty Fly For A White Guy by Offspring
- 9. Lithium by Nirvana
- 8. Would by Alice In Chains
- 7. My Song by Jerry Cantrell Band
- 6. Angry Chair by Alice In Chains
- 5. Jeremy by Pearl Jam

- 1. Sad But True by Metallica
By: Scotty MC
- 10. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan wrote some of the finest rock songs of our generation and this one is one of his finest. With its blend of feel-good harmonies, sparse vocals, and kick-you-in-the-pants guitar delivery, it's a song for the ages that also lets everyone know what a good time for rock n roll the 90s was.
- 9. Prince by Gett Off
Prince proved that he still he had it with this classic number. Who can hear this song and NOT get horny? No one has ever been able to put as much sexual energy into a 4-minute groove fest like His Purple Majesty and no one ever will. This innovative artist has been producing some the best and most original music for the past 25 years and will probably contine to do so for the next 25.
- 8. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
What else can I say about this song that hasn't already be said? A beautiful, haunting song by one of the most creative, original, and important bands of our time. This song lifted them to new heights of awareness in the 90s and helped them to survive the dark times was known as the 80s. If the 90s had gone on like the 80s, REM just may have been overlooked but the new musical landscape of the decade was the perfect launching pad for their innovative style.
- 7. Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction
This offbeat and humorous number launched Jane's Addiction into the mainstream with its unbelievably catchy hooks and sing-along lyrical delivery. Even though the track has a pop feel to it, it still retains that classic edginess that makes JA one of the best rock acts ever.
- 6. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette
While I'm not a big fan of Alanis, I know a good song when I hear one. This brutal dig at her ex-lover struck a chord with male and female listeners alike and cemented her position as a new musical force to be recokned with. The addition of two of the decade's greatest musicians (Dave Navarro and Flea) sure didn't hurt the production value of this record, either!
- 5. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
When the boys from NYC came back with a vengance in '92 with "Check Your Head", many of us wondered how they would fare with their next release. When Sabotage hit the airwaves in '94, there was no doubt that they were here to stay. The B-Boys are one of those rare groups that actually get better with age and constantly redefine their sound. This track with its blend of old school rock, heavy backbeats and low-tech hip-hop vocals hits the nail right on the proverbial head. And don't even get me started on the video!!
- 4. I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters
Right smack dab in the middle of the 90s when things were beginning to get stale, here come the Foo Fighters with this groundbreaking and powerful piece of work. To rise out of the ashes of Nirvana and to come back so strong, Dave Grohl should have called his project Phoenix. To produce a record of this caliber and importance is a testament to his strength, talent, perserverance, and incredible sense of humor. What makes it even more amazing is that DG himself played every instrument and performed all the vocals himself in addition to writing & producing. Talk about a solo artist!
- 3. Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Red Hot Chili Peppers deliver a sound like no other band before them and like no band after them that tried to ride on their coattails. This song showcases their ability to blend the best of funk, hard rock and dance grooves into a sex-drenched anthem that can move even the lamest of booties into a dancing and head-banging frenzy.
- 2. Alive by Pearl Jam
Following closely on the heels of Nirvana, Pearl Jam was one of the bands that defined the no-nonsense, anti-fashionista rock movement of the decade. This song was one of their best compositions and epitomized everything they stood for. Concerend with making powerful, thought-provoking music & telling guitar-driven stories about modern American life, Pearl Jam reamins one of the most important bands of all time, not just the 90s.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
This is not Nirvana's best song by any means but it is THE song that changed the face of popular music in the 90s and its influence can still be felt today. This song ushered in a new genre of rock and arguably was the impetus for ending the chart domination of pop-metal hair bands. It sill sounds as fresh and powerful today as it did back in 1991.
