    • 10. The Real Slim Shaddy--- Stan by Eminem
      what can i say, both songs won him the music awards. a great rapper with lots of potential. some dont like him but to be honest he is pretty straight forward with what he says, instead of saying east side west side crap at least he raps about his life and experiences..
    • 9. Bye Bye Bye by Nsync
      i hate these little bastards, but they are popular so i had to list them, NO tallent, boys to men is tallent not this.....
    • 8. One More Time by Brittany Spears
      she has no tallent, but since this is about what we think are the most POPULAR songs then i got to give it here. all the 9yr olds love her.
    • 7. Dear Momma by 2 pac
      this song is so sad, im a big tough guy but this song even brings a tear to my eye.. this actually was the case for a friend of mine..

    • 5. Paradice City by Guns And Roses
      where we all want to go.. take me there..
    • 4. Shorty The Pimp by Too Short
      the first real pimp, player, in the rap game. songs were straight up and had a good beat--- outcome = winner..
    • 3. Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down
      if you workout at the gym, then you learned to love this song.. super rage in this song made you want to try that 300lbs on the bench press. yea right.
    • 2. Me So Horney by 2 Live Crew
      if the song isnt enough to rank this song the media attention would. everyone knew this group from florida because of there harsh lyrics
    • 1. Ice Ice baby by Vanilla Ice
      how could this be overlooked, whether you like him or not everyone was rocking to this song driving there 5.0 down A1A

    the 90s were great, i could sit back down and list 10 diffent song so easily that had a impact on the 90s.. but our kids will laugh at this music one day.. who knows carnival music will probably be the (IN) thing and they will look at our music like we do the 50s.. peace and love..

    • 1. Zero by Smashing Pumpkins
      No explanation, the best song from the best band ever.
