• 10. Sally Can Wait by Oasis
  another great underated band that released a great song that will never be forgotten
• 9. Torn by Creed
  this song shows the dark side of scott stapp and it doesn't force it in your face like manson and tool and all that other shit
• 8. Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls
  once again john resnick shows off his musical and lyrical skills in one of the best songs of the late 90's
• 7. Dammit by Blink 182
  whats a great song list without this song, any teenager can relate to this song and that makes it great
• 6. Hang by Matchbox 20
  this is the best musical and lyrical band of the 90's, and this song is just one of there many examples
• 5. The Freshman by The Verve Pipe
  this song has great lyrics and music, its just a shame nothin else has come out of this band
• 4. God Of Wine by Third Eye Blind
  stephen jenkins is a master of symbolism and this song proves it
• 3. Solitude by Edwin Mccain And Darius Rucker
  edwin mccain is possibly the greatest song writer and most under rated musician of the 90's and the lyrics in this song are amazing
• 2. She Talks To Angels by The Black Crowes
  great song, need i say more
• 1. Name by Goo Goo Dolls
  Despite the corporate rock shadow they stand behind they are one of the better bands of the 90's and this song proves it

there are so many great songs in the 90's its unfair to narrow it down to 10 favorites, all the great songs came from the early and mid 90's and it seems as if music is going downhill---i hate r&b, i hate rap, and bands like limp bizkit and kid rock are contributing to ruining music

• 10. Ditty by Paperboy
  
• 9. I Wish by Skee-Lo
  A rapper that wasn't bragging about his money, cars, and women, this song was catchy and refreshing.
• 8. Hip Hop Hooray by Naughty By Nature
  
• 7. Whoomp! There it is by Tag Team
  
• 6. Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc
  
• 5. Mo Money Mo Problems by Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, and Ma$e
  Another classic party song. The summer of '97 Bad Boy Records ruled.
• 4. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
  Everyone rips on the Iceman but face it, this song still packs the floor today.
• 3. B**ch Betta Have My Money by AMG
  Not very commercial, but a great song.
• 2. Insane in the Brain by Cypress Hill
  Love the shrill screech noise in the background similar to jump around. The circus music break beat is mint.
• 1. Jump Around by House of Pain
  This song is timeless and is still played in the clubs 10 years later. Don't try to play me out as if my name is Sega.

The 90s is when rap actually became mainstream and commercial. Most of the 90s fad music annoyed me, the whole grunge Seattle rock stuff sucked, swing sucked, ska sucked, country music was big after Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achey Breaky Heart" crossed over and country really sucked! Thank God all the fad music of the 90s is now almost dead and rap/hip-hop survived!
