• 10. Say It Aint So by Weezer
  They just had to be on the list.
• 9. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  Even though Kim Thayil is overrated.
• 8. Red Bowling Ball Ruth by The White Stripes
  What can I say, Jack White is the f***in man.
• 7. Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam
  Amazing emotion.
• 6. Longview by Green Day
  Talk about teen angst...
• 5. Song 2 by Blur
  WHOO - HOO!!!!
• 4. Machine Head by Bush
  No one since the Ramones has made 4 power chords sound so good. RIP Johnny.
• 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  ...just to be a conformist.
• 2. Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
  Who would of thought heroin could have produced such a masterpiece?
• 1. Milk It by Nirvana
  "Look on the bright side suicide"... enough said.

Sublime, 311, Tool, Metallica, and a bunch of other bands are all really close.

• 10. Am I Inside by Alice In Chains
  -MY MOST FAVORITE SONG EVER-(You probably haven't heard it, have you? Ha, ha, ha, ha, loser...you're missing out!)
• 9. Sober by Tool
  "Why can't we not be sober?"
• 8. Man In The Box by Alice In Chains
  From the best band to ever come out of my state.

  Violet is violent.

  Not my favorite band, but a sweet song.

• 3. Give It Away by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  Funk at its finest.

• 10. Creep by Radiohead
  Another song with a beautiful melody. One of my favorite slower songs of the 1990's.
• 9. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
  This is a cool song, I love it. It's a very repetitive song, but it's the best repetitive song from the 90's.
• 8. No Rain by Blind Melon
  Another Blind Melon song, and by far the most popular. Every time I listen to it I feel happy, it's almost like "No Rain" is a breath of fresh air. This song was the only famous song by Blind Melon, and it ultimately put them on the map in the music industry.
• 7. Soundgarden by Black Hole Sun
  This song has an extremely beautiful melody. Chris Cornell has an amazing voice.
• 6. Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle by Nirvana
  Although "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the greatest song of the 90's without any doubt, this is my favorite NIRVANA song. This song might not have defined an age, but it is very emotional and extremely powerful. This song has some of my favorite lyrics. "She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash on the ground" R.I.P. Kurt.
• 5. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of my favorite 90's bands. This is a great song with an awesome melody. The Peppers best song.
• 4. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
  This song just rocks. Radiohead was awesome.
• 3. Blind Melon by Change
  Blind Melon was in my opinion the most underrated band of the 90's. When Shannon Hoon died of an overdose in 1995 (28 years old) we lost an extremely talented musician. This is a beautful song with powerful lyrics.
• 2. Soundgarden by Fell on Black Days
  In my opinion, Chris Cornell has the greatest voice of any frontman in the history of rock music. Yes, better than Plant, Morrison, Mercury, Daltrey, and a better voice than Cobain too. This is truly an amazing song.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  This song defined the 90's, and is also one one the greatest songs ever. It brought grunge into the mainstream. When Kurt died in 1994, he took grunge music down with him.

• 9. Cigarettes And Alcohol by Oasis
  A recycled T-Rex riff used to convey getting pissed off your tits and smoking like a chimney, a classic!
• 8. Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite
  I used to love this song so much...like, I still do, it's the funkiest thing ever!
• 7. Place Your Hands by Reef
  Ok, the lead singer is a right ponce, but this is an amazing tune, gets everyone singing along.
• 6. Govinda by Kula Shaker
  Indie-an rock and roll with Crispin Mills and his psychedelic band of wonder rides...or just a great song.
• 5. Ready To Go by Republica
  Sums up the 90's for me really, I dunno why, just one of those party anthems of the time.
• 4. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
  So underrated! Such an amzing song...nothing would ever beat the hype of Smells Like Teen Spirit which will not be in my top ten :p
• 3. Today by The Smashing Pumpkins
  Today is the greatest...I love this song and I will do forever, it's just too happy to ignore :)
• 2. Lucky Man by The Verve
  Oh my god, this song....i can't explain, it means something on a completely different level...and it just rocks....so uplifting!
• 1. Fools Gold by The Stone Roses
  Ok Ok, so not strictly in the 90's, it came out late in 1989, but my god if it weren't for this song, the 90's music you know and love wouldn't have existed! THE grooviest song ever.

It's strictly top ten which is annoying, but other bands to remember are Blur, The Chemical Brothers, NIN, MC Hammer, Primal Scream, Cypress Hill, R.A.T.M, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth and Ash
