What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Owen Lloyd
- 10. Mysterious Ways (1991) by U2
U2 missed the 90s for the most part. Walk On and With Or Without You are much better than this one, but they came out in different decades.
- 9. Nearly Lost You (1992) by The Screaming Trees
Great early 90s song.
- 8. Pretty Noose (1996) by Soundgarden
"Don't like what you got me hanging from." It's not much better than any other Soundgarden but I like the lyrics on this one. 4th of July's another good one.
- 7. My Life (1999) by Dido
Love the whole album. I almost chose All You Want but this one seemed the smarter of the two. And I have to say, Dido's awful cute for a singer with talent.
- 6. Tomorrow (1995) by Silverchair
The best band and the best song to come from Down Under.
- 5. A Long December (1996) by Counting Crows
A very nice song. Duritz is a badass.
- 4. She Talks To Angels (1990) by The Black Crowes
An excellent, classic rockyish song.
- 3. Yellow Ledbetter (1993) by Pearl Jam
Had trouble figuring out what my fave Pearl Jam song was. Thin Air's really good too.
- 2. Karma Police (1997) by Radiohead
A wonderful song, probably Radiohead's best. Paranoid Android is great, too.
- 1. Plateau (1994) by Nirvana
Yes, it is a Meat Puppets cover. But the original had nothing on it.
I thought it was only fair to choose one song by each of the following bands, just to have a little more variety. Feel free and email me at owen_lloyd@hotmail.com and bash on my picks if you feel the urge.

- 10. Every Me, Every You by Placebo
Not a bad band which I have only just recently discovered!
- 9. Live Forever by Oasis
Could have been one of many by Oasis. 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Some Might Say' were close behind
- 8. There She Goes by The La's
A classic with a budget video
- 7. Disco 2000 by Pulp
- 6. High by The Lighthouse Family
Easily the best slow song - uplifting though. Badly abused at Karaoke in many a pub!
- 5. Scooby Snacks by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Everything's smooth, baby that's smooth!
- 4. Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner, The Lightning Seeds
Euro '96 and all that
- 3. She's A Star by James
Not quite as repetitive as 'Sit Down'
- 2. Song 2 by Blur
Anthemic - An obvious choice for no. 2!
- 1. There's Nothing I Won't Do by JX
Ahh, those school disco memories - the best cheesy dance record of the decade
Didn't realise how difficult it would be! Started with a list of about 65! Not To Forget: The classics by Reef or Nirvana. Somehow couldn't fit in any 'Manic Street Preachers' or 'Stereophonics' or any club or hip-hop.
By: Robbie

Third Eye Blind rocks

Possibly THE most BEAUTIFUL song ever. One of those songs you want to reach out and touch.
A lot of my choices are mid to late 90s, mainly cuz my mind draws a blank for the earlier stuff, not sure if it's late 80s. Others that didn't quite make it but are worthy of mentioning: Nancy Boy by Placebo; All I Need by Air; Happy by Travis; Born Slippy by Underworld; Sabotage by Beastie Boys.
