    • 10. Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik
    • 9. Stay by Dave Matthews Band
      A great band and a great song.
    • 8. Free As A Bird by The Beatles
      They are by far my all-time favorite band and I think that many of their songs are great, if not greater than some from the '90's. I wasn't really sure if this song would count since John first started on it in the '60's or '70's, but I put it in because it was released in the '90's. I love the Beatles!!!
    • 7. Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey
      I like this one better than "Hero." It's just fun and it's for all those simple girls in love out there.
    • 6. One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men
      Who doesn't love this song? It touches everyone of us at at least one point in our lives.
    • 5. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town by Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam
      Another great song by a gifted songwriter.
    • 4. Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith
      And this is not just because of the movie!!! It's just a good song!
    • 3. How's It Gonna Be by Third Eye Blind
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Kurt Cobain/Nirvana
    • 1. Good Riddance by Green Day
      It's a great song that can apply to many different situations and memories, good and bad.

    Other great bands and singers of the 1990's: The Wallflowers, Oleander, Eagle Eye Cherry, Jewel, Alanis Morissette, Phish, and so many more!

    • 10. Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
      A great song to listen to during a pregame warm-up. Sparked a cultlike revolution amongst teenagers accross the country.......
    • 9. Ain't Nuthin' But A G Thang by Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg
      The very first music video I saw. There was nothing that could restrain me from that point on.......
    • 8. Tie - Iris/Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls
      Actually, most of the songs off this album (Dizzy Up The Girl) are quite quality.......
    • 7. If You Could Only See by Tonic
      Remind's me of the one that, at least for now, got away.......
    • 6. Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
      Great guitarist's song about the death of his son. 'Tis a sad one, but probably the song with the most heart of any 90's song.......
    • 5. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) by Green Day
      This song almost brings me to tears when I think about it. Leaving friends and starting anew.......
    • 4. Sell Out by Reel Big Fish
      I love the Fish. Great band, and a great song. This song has inspired me to dance on many an occasion.......
    • 3. Ants Marching by Dave Matthews Band
      I simply enjoy Dave's work. I was going to put "Crush" here, but then I thought it came out in 2000, so I thought I'd preserve the sanctity of the list.......
    • 2. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
      Fantastic song! Unmistakeable opening drum solo sparks everybody I know to sing along.......
    • 1. How's It Gonna Be by Third Eye Blind
      My favorite band. That's why I put them at the top two spots. It was hard to choose which to place #1.......

    This was maybe the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I left off some great songs, one's that easily could have made it. Just a few more are: Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince - Summertime Dave Matthews Band - #41 Matchbox 20 - Push Live - Dolphins Cry Everclear - I Will Buy You A New Life .......and many more.......

      Can't get it out of my head!
    • 2. Push by Matchbox Twenty
      See #1's comment.
    • 1. Smooth by Santana f/ Rob Thomas
      I love Rob's voice... and I love Santana and Matchbox Twenty. So why shouldn't this be number one?

    I didn't know much about pop till this year, I was a little kid back in the good old gay nineties. So don't count on me for this.
