10. Daysleeper by R.e.m.
You cant talk about the 90's and leave these guys out of it, just came out with their best of album, check it out.
9. Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Awesome band, never ones to be dull.
8. The World I Know by Collective Soul
Very good 90's band, but this song is by far their best work.
7. Anthem For The Year 2000 by Silverchair
Very good band that dropped off the map like a stone, but you gotta love what they gave us in their flash in the limelight.
6. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Before you all bite my head off for putting this band so low on the list I want to say that they are here because if you dont know nirvana set the bar in the 90's you have no clue about the music of that decade.
5. Iris by Googoo Dolls
Honestly my favorite songs from this band come after the turn of 2000, but their earlier work is not to be missed.
4. Two Step by Dave Matthew's Band
Im not as huge of a fan as the vast majority of people out there, but I must admit they make good music.
3. Karma Police by Radiohead
my favorite song off OK computer, but the whole album is a trip. No other band out there is quite like radiohead.
2. Shit Town by Live
Personally my favorite band, lots of people forget some of their best songs like beauty of gray and white discussion.
1. Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
Pick nearly any song off meloncholy and infinite sadness and it could be number one. You talk 90's you talk SP

10. Unplugged Album by Nirvana
I enjoy Nirvana much more when they don't crank up the distortion. Don't get me wrong, they still sound great, but they're musical ability is more apparent. The last song on this album is incredible.
9. Look Away by Hootie and the Blowfish
Darius' vocals are smooth. The song itself is a non single nestled on one of the great early nineties albums, "Cracked Rear View Mirror"
8. Alive by Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder is among my favorite vocalists and Pearl Jam's songs are poignant and they are musically comparable to any other great band.
7. Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots
The musical landscape of this song is beautiful.
6. A Long December by Counting Crows
Although this song is not on their best album, "August and Everything After" it still shines. This is a melancholy glimpse into life and a hope that his fortunes turn around.
5. Unforgiven "1 or 2" by Metallica
Metallica has a lot of great songs. Their lyrics are often overlooked by people dismissing their music as mindless pounding, however people that listen to their words will discover the profoundness of what they're saying.
4. Having a Blast by Green Day
I really like the way they fused some melody into the punk scene. They continue to release great songs.
3. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
This is really an arbitrary song but her album, "Jagged Little Pill" has got to be one of the best albums ever made. The sincerity of her anger on some of the tracks like "You oughta know" is great to listen to. I like the honesty of her music and the wit of her lyrics.
2. Cryin' by Aerosmith
This bluesy song never gets old to me, that is the hallmark of a classic
1. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve Pipe
An absolutely epic song; instrumentally it is beautifully arranged and the theme will continue to hold true.

10. Creep by Radiohead
So Special!?
9. Learn To Fly by Foo Fighters
The Foo Fighters at there best
8. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
Yeah Trophy!
7. Feel Good Hit of the Summer by Queens of The Stone Age
Nicoteine Valium marijuana ectasy and and alchol Cccc- Cocaine!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Basket Case by Green Day
The light after grunge
5. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
Chris Cornell is with Ratm now minus zack and man do they still kick butt
4. Loser by Beck
the slacker anthem of a generation
3. Kill A Man by Rage Against The Machine
These guys kick ass. i wonder where Zack is now?
2. Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
My fave band of the 90's. This is the 'Pumpkins at there peak
1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
unarguably the best song of the 90's because it kicked off grunge

10. Offspring by Pay The Man
why did they just putted this one instead of that shitty song "Pretty fly?", Yeah I'll know the answer a four-minute intro for a punk song, but that just makes it great, not done before or after they putted it out.
9. Dead Boy's Poem by Nightwish
Nightwish is the best gothic band I know, not hard cause I'll know only six or something (2 I like)
8. Niet Of Nooit Geweest by Acda En De Munnik
Great dutch song, such damn funny (still it was actualy meaned as a sad song, did work it just turned out to be funny)
7. 3 Doors Down by Kryptonite
With my superhuman might? Yeah'kryptonite.
6. Faith No More by Easy
Another famous song I know, but songs don't get famous for nothing ain't they? I like faith no more and this one is the best I know of them.
5. Guns N Roses by November Rain
Loveable song
4. Nena Hagen by 99 Luftballons
Germany made many great songs.
3. Aerosmith by I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
It's music from my dad, but that ain't always bad, is it? I mean when I started just to read the lyrics, I was amazed, when I heard the song I was even more.
2. Rammstein by Engel
Great song, when those angels begin to sing in the middle that's just crazy cool! not rammstein's best song, but they're best of the 90's.
1. Offspring by Come Out And Play
Such a beauty, none song can break this one.

10. Round' Here by Counting Crows
This song, everytime i hear it, reminds me of my good high school buddy Cory, who was a Goth, and was huge into the Counting Crows... he had this fast Blue Chevy, he called the Misery Machine, and we would go like 120 down a jammed highway, with this song, and the rest of the CD playing... whatever happened to that kid? typical friends!! they come and they go!
9. Scooby Snacks by Fun Loving Criminals
Ok, enough with the sad crap, here is some good fun music... i remember this song as a catchy song, id sing it to myself on the shool bus... that was a great album... Bombing the L... and hell, you have to be good to use a sample of L7 in a song!
8. Sober by Tool
I never watched alot of MTV in the 90's as much as i did in the 80's, cuz i think the 90's was the beginning of MTV's brought on death, do they even play videos anymore??? But the reason i say this is, this was one of the BEST videos on the early 90's! and an awesome song... tool at its best!
7. Brick by Ben Folds Five
This song means a hell of alot to me, it was the song i heard while in the backseat of a car, while having a girlfriend die in my arms when i was 13. Tragic song for a tragic memory... RIP srah... she's a brick and she's drowning slowly off the coast and im heading no where!
6. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
We all had this song held in our hearts! Painful lyrics! Painful Music! and an unusual video... remember the green snake lookin like it was about to bite of trents head??? Amazing song... i just cant say enough!
5. Whats Up? by Four Non Blondes
And let me say here, the hottest, best, one hit wonder of the 1990's!!! I had a crush on the chick bassist with the mohawk who wore the big red flannel coat! But didnt we all? and as i am 23, i will be listening to this song in 2 years, thing "25 years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope..."!!!
4. Far Behind by Candlebox
I like to sit in the dark, in silence, and then play this song on my stereo, From that first sound of the guitar, very emotional cry it has, all the way until th end, Far Behind is a great song for us 90's teens, because it is a closure song, i was 19 when YTK hit, and to hear the words: "And now maybe Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble As you falter to the ground And now maybe Your friends they stand beside as you were flying Oh you were flying oh so high" Dont that make you feel the high school years all over again! going to school after a big family fight, or a break up, and your best friend is there for you!
3. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
A very beautiful song, with the mellow guitar, the usage of strings and bells, a very symphonic masterpeice, with alot of feeling, by far, my favorite SP song... and you just FEEL the words in Billy Corgin's voice, and if i recall, HE HAD HAIR IN THIS VIDEO!
2. Sifting by Nirvana
You cant talk about the 90's without mentioning a Nirvana song. Kurt Cobain stood for every one of us teens of the 90's. The best ever song nirvana ever had was Sifting, which is on the Bleach album. It never got any airplay, About a Girl is the most known song from that album. I myself believe Bleach was the best album of the 90's, and in Nirvana's library. Filled with angerous guitars and drums... and Kurts screams brings back that time you beat up the school bully in 7th grade! Love Buzz, Paper Cuts and Negative Creep, were also great songs...
1. Thats When I Reach For My Revolver by Moby
This song is full of anger and pain, which is pretty much how most of us teens felt in the 90's, whe didnt have the glittery, happy, fast times at ridgemont high types of lives... we MADE teen angst what it was! and when i still think of the 90's i feel alot of pain from it... This is also not your typical Moby techno... its more of a rock song... #1 IN DEED!

10. By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
It is a good song.a very good song.
