- 8. One Headlight by Wallflowers
Stirring and cold, Jacob Dylan comes to terms with the death of a loved one
- 7. Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money I by Primitive Radio Gods
This is still one of the more innovative and original songs I've ever heard, lyrically and musically
- 6. There She Goes by The La's
Sweet and melodic, simple and touching
- 5. You Get What You Give by New Radicals
Too much of the music of the nineties came across as self-absorbed. Here was a song the wasn't afraid to examine the world and see something optimistic in it
- 4. Sweetest Decline by Beth Orton
If you've never heard anything by Beth Orton, you're missing something. Gorgeous melodies and a voice to fall in love with
- 3. The Fly by U2
Small musings done U2 style
- 2. What's the Frequency, Kenneth? by REM
REM finally made a rock album. Took them long enough
- 1. Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies
A perfect pop song examining the creative process
I know I picked too many of the better known bands. There were a few that probably deserve to be on here, given their impact in the 90's (Nirvana, Radiohead, Bjork, Tool, Sarah MacLachlan, etc.) but this list is really about individual songs, not the bands themselves. So I think these songs overall are a fair choice.
By: Peg

- 8. Adam's Song by Blink 182
- 7. Frozen by Madonna
- 6. Amazing by Aerosmith
- 5. Don't Walk Away In Anger by Oasis
- 4. Ordinary World by Duran Duran
A perfect song about lifes stages. It has a different meaning for everyone, so regardless of how you interpret it, you can relate.
- 3. Forgiven by Alanis Morissette
Finally... someone spoke out on the hypocrisy of the Catholic church.
- 2. A Stroke Of Luck by Garbage
Just a different kind of love song, wondering if this love was sent meant to be or just another mistake.
- 1. Come Undone by Duran Duran
What can I say? Duran Duran was the best in the 80s, and they're the best in the 90s.

By: racquel
- 10. Whats Going On by All Star Tribute

theres so many other beautiful songs but theres only 10 i have to choose
By: Klaus gerber
- 10. Sober by Tool
Tool is simply an intelligent rock band. Nothing more, nothing less.
- 9. Sugar by System Of A Down
In a time where so-called "Nu-Metal" bands comparable to boybands spring up like mushrooms, System Of A Down produce their own unique sound, while still providing the grooves the producers of cloned-bands like Linkin Park, Crazy Town... use to target their kiddy-audience
- 8. Flesh And The Power It Holds by Death
Chuck Schuldiner is godlike in his ways of playing the guitar. Even if you totally hate death-metal, if you're a musician, you should listen to this song, and bow down to his techniques
- 7. Out Of Space by The Prodigy
Starting as a house/rave band, Prodigy can now be considered a rock band, but without using the old ways of producing rock sound, substituting instruments for computers
- 6. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
The other great man of industrial and production: Trent Reznor. With a minimalist but still complicated sound he prepared the path for Marilyn Manson and comparable bands
- 5. Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry
Ministry is the most influential industrial band in the genre. Others like Fear Factory or Prong imitated their style
- 4. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
Although I generally like harder stuff, and I think that "One" or "Dyers Eve" is better, both are from the 80s, so Nothing Else Matters is my pick for the 90s
- 3. All I Need by Air
Air revolutionalized the Easy Listening genre. "Moon Safari" is also amongst the top ten albums of the 90s
- 2. Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine
Crossover with political lyrics and an unmatched groove and unmatched live energy. Sadly they've also split up
- 1. Epic by Faith No More
One of the most unique styles and mixtures. Sadly they don't exist anymore
OK, my listing is more to the heavy side, but on most lists above I found people listing the stereotypes of the charts of the nineties, forgetting the music that really changed stylea all over the world. OK, maybe I should've added Nirvana, but I only habe 10 slots...
