    By: john k
    • 10. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
      With the bass line taken form queen and the rich white boy suburban raper this song is not only catchy but funny too, and it is perfect for cruising the streets with the bass turned up, and the windows rolled down
    • 9. It's A Shame About Ray by Lemonheads
      this is one of the great songs of the 90's that was perfect for soothing one's soul no mater way it was disheartened, this of course has to be due to the placid vocals of Even Dando
    • 8. Honey Don't Think by Grant Lee Buffalo
      one of the great forgotten songs by one of the great forgotten bands of the 90's...a perfect mix of lyrics, harmony, and music
    • 7. Name by Goo Goo Dolls
      everyone knows the goo goo dolls are good, but this is by far there best song form there best album(a boy named goo) it is a lot like iris... but it came first, the lyrics are much better and much deeper ,and it hasn't been over played (in my experience anyway)
    • 6. Juke-Joint Jezebel by Kmfdm
      with a relentless bass line and a hypnotic effect the becomes more intense as you increase the volume this song is defiantly designed to be use as a escape for reality
    • 5. Hero Of The Day by Metallica
      in this classic metallica song they decided to try singing instead of just shouting and screaming... i just cant get enough of this song
    • 4. Everlong by Foo Fighters
      This is a beautiful song that always makes me feel mushy
    • 3. The Bends (the whole album) by Radio Head
      I love radio head, and i love this album, and i couldn't pick just one song so i picked them all (i guess it's kind of cheating...so don't tell anyone)
    • 2. What I Got by Sublime
      This has to be one of the best "feel good" songs ever written... and it makes me want to walk around to the beat acting all tough
    • 1. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      Best song ever... end of story

    i would like to give mention to the Strokes, they would of been 2nd on my list but they are not from the 90's... they are form the 00's... but check them out defiantly the best band of the new century
