• 10. Nsync by I Want You Back
  Well this was nsyncs first song that they released...and look where it got Justin Timberlake.
• 9. I Swear by All 4 One
  This was a really popular love/slow song - all 4 one tried to mimic Boyz 2 Men but didn't quite have it...this was pretty much their only hit.
• 8. All Star by Smashmouth
  I still catch my self humming this tune. lyrics are funny.
• 7. Wannabe by Spice Girls
  One of the songs that revolutionized the spice girls and made them a HUGE success.
• 6. The Sign by Ace of Base
  Everyone used to sing this song it's a good dance beat too.
• 5. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  This is a lso a good guitar song to learn. Chilli peppers are great.
• 4. I Don't Want to Miss A Thing by Aerosmith
  This was a huge hit with the movie Armageddon it is still played a lot today on radio or music video on tv. It's a great song.
• 3. Ironic by Alanis Morrissette
  Alanis rocks and she's Canadian..but everyone ALWAYS quotes this song "isn't it ironic...don't you think?"
• 2. My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
  my god you got sick of how many times this song was/is played on the radio..especially when Titanic was in theatres
• 1. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

Think about how much you used to sing these songs when they first came out on the radio.

• 10. Because You Loved Me. by Celine Dion.
  Personally, I find this song far more intriguing and better-produced than 'My heart will go on'.
• 9. Sway. by Bic Runga.
  A rare treat from the land of the 'Kiwis'. An interesting song that surprisingly established itself as the theme song for "American Pie".
• 8. If You Love Me (say It). by Brownstone.
  The tightly woven and powerful voice of the R&B trio is just one of the many interesting keypoints stemming from this song.
• 7. I Will Always Love You. by Whitney Houston.
  In my opinion, this is THE ballad of the decade.
• 6. Hero/always Be My Baby. by Mariah Carey.
  Looking back at Mariah when she was at the height of her career and comparing to her image of today never ceases to amaze me how fast image and success in the Entertainment industry can change.
• 5. Stay by Lisa Loeb
  I never get tired of listening to this song. I enjoy listening to softly spoken and 'easy-listening' songs that are perfect for a quiet day at home.
• 4. Save The Best For Last. by Vanessa Williams.
  I am an avid 80s fan, and I'll admit that one of the reasons why I nominated this song was because of its heavy 80s influence. But there's no denying that this particular hit propelled Williams to worldwide stardom as a respected artist.
• 3. Ironic. by Alanis Morissete.
  Clever lyrics and the song that defined this talented Canadian pop/rock singer.
• 2. I'll Remember/rain/take A Bow. by Madonna.
  I would never admit this in public, but I believe Madonna had a good collection of singles that were often a cut above many other artists'. I'm surprised that "Rain" didn't fare well in the Billboards when it was first released back in 1992.
• 1. Ode To My Family. by The Cranberries.
  This song is beautiful. Touching lyrics that are perfect to reflect on and be thankful for having a family.

I'm extremely biased. I listen to any genre of music, since I do not believe in limiting myself to any specific categories. However, I have a soft spot for ballads. Call me a 'sap' or 'cheesy', but I find these songs to be a good way of escaping the harsh realities of life and retreating into the world that these songs mould for its audience. Some other honourable mentions go to "Change the World" (Eric Clapton), "Diggin on You" and "Waterfalls" (TLC), "Dreams" (Gabrielle), "Got til it's gone" (Janet Jackson), "Fast Love" (George Michael), "Teenage Dirtbag" (Wheatus), "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" (The Offsprings), "Freestyler" (Bombfunk MC's), "Groovejet (If this ain't love)" (DJ Spiller ft. Sophie Ellis Bextor), Lauryn Hill (Doo Whoop That Thing), "Put yourself in my place" (Kylie Minogue), "One Night" (M People), "Wonderwall" (Oasis), "Rush, Rush" (Paula Abdul), "7 Seconds" (Neneh Cherry & Youssou N'Dour), "Fairground" (Simply Red), "Nothing compares to you" (Sinnead O'Connor), "Hold On" (Wilson Phillips), "Zombie" (The Cranberries), "Say what you want" (Texas), "Burn" (Tina Arena) and "Truly, Madly, Deeply" (Savage Garden). There would be many more I'd like to mention, but I think I've taken enough space here.
