    By: Kelli
    • 10. Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? by Paula Cole
      Unafraid of fessing up to the need for a old-fashioned partnership...this works well for the lesbians who seek the kind of butch-femme dynamic (that became passe in the '70s) as well as the heterosexual women lookin' for a man's man!
    • 9. Kiss From A Rose by Seal
      Beautiful...
    • 8. Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? by Bryan Adams
      The acoustic guitar and Latin melody enhance the enormous chivalry of this song--quite refreshing in these politically correct times! (This is coming from a equity feminist [in the tradition of Camille Paglia, Lauren Hutton, and Christina Sommers] and a workforce/community diversity trainer to boot!)
    • 7. When I Fall In Love by Celine Dion and Clive Griffin
      The **very best** version of this song ever made--the Coles' version comes a distant second!
    • 6. Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega
      **Two** dance sensations in the same year...incredible! Lends itself particularly well to parody.
    • 5. Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin
      What a way (next to Mambo No. 5) to end the 20th Century! Sheer energy, sheer delight!!
    • 4. All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow
      Thrilled to know that the lyrics started as a poem ("Fun") and doubly thrilled that Fun's original author shared "Song of the Year" honors with Sheryl, et al. at the Grammys!
    • 3. Vogue by Madonna
      Her best!
    • 2. Walking On The Sun by Smash Mouth
      Reminds me in every way of the late '60s and early '70s!
    • 1. Change The World by Eric Clapton
      Sheer sensuality from one of rock's royalty...

    RUNNERS-UP: "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton; "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston; "Used to Be My Playground" by Madonna; and "My Heart Will Go On" by Mariah Carey
    By: Brandon Jenkins
    • 10. No Rain by Blind Melon
      The lead and rhythm guitars flow well together.
    • 9. What Is Love by Haddaway
      Great composition and form.
    • 8. Clubbed To Death by Rob D.
      If Rob D. doesn't make it as a hip hop writer, he could pass as a classical composer.
    • 7. Thru The Eyes Of Ruby by The Smashing Pumpkins
      My second favorite Pumpkins' song. It's awesome.
    • 6. Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
      A serious and powerful song.
    • 5. Until It Sleeps by Metallica
      Great riff.
    • 4. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins
      The riff of this song says "take me seriously". Awesome breakdown chorus.
    • 3. MMM MMM MMM MMM by Crash Test Dummies
      Great use of 7th chords. Nice ending too.
    • 2. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
      Just a great rap song.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Best riff, rhythm figure, etc.

    Buy MY album!!!!
    By: Mike Maher
    • 10. Machine Head by Bush
    • 9. Corrosion of Conformity by Echoes in the Well
      As strange as it may seem, many people don't know about this band but they are the best metal band since Metallica.
    • 8. Sober by Tool
    • 7. November Rain by Gun's n' Roses
    • 6. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
    • 5. Sad But True by Metallica
    • 4. Say It Ain't So by Weezer
      Weezer is the best band currently out there. This song is the best song that I ever heard from them.
    • 3. In Bloom by Nirvana
      I would have put Sappy, a Nirvana rarity, but it originated in the late 80's.
    • 2. You Know You're Right by Nirvana
      The only version I heard of this song was a live version of it on Napster. Too bad that nobody else will probably hear it since Courtney Love is blocking it from being on the boxed set.
    • 1. Lithium by Nirvana
      NIrvana is the best band of the 90's, Kurt Cobain the best musician ever. Period.
