    By: James
    • 10. Mishale by Andru Donalds
      Heard it when I was 9. I'm 17 now, and I still love it. To spare some dignity, I'm putting it at 10, even though I would probably put it higher.
    • 9. I Believe In Love by Elton John
      Woah. I even surprise myself by putting an Elton John song, but I like this one.
    • 8. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Great song. I probably put it at 8 given the fact that I played it way too often and got a tad tired of it.
    • 7. Uninvited by Alanis Morrisette
      Yes. I have a soft side. I heard it during a very memorable summer, and every time I hear it, I remember that summer, which was the greatest.
    • 6. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
      Great great song. Really the only R.E.M song I like.
    • 5. Scream by Michael And Janet Jackson
      Love it! There's a short but SWEET guitar solo in the middle, and the song overall is awesome!
    • 4. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
      The lyrics are so ingenious. GREAT song.
    • 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Simply because it's the only song that I spent 8 hours trying to find online, before I had music downloading programs. It's awesome. The video rocks!
    • 2. I'll Be Missing You by Puff Daddy
      Explanation: I only like the version with Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" accompanying Puff Daddy's spoken tribute to Notorious B.I.G. The other version is kind of plain.
    • 1. Creep by Radiohead
      Do you want to know why? Because I live a life that can only be described by those lyrics. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I live every day thinking that if I died at this moment, nobody in this world would give a damn. This is MY song.


    By: Dan Jarzyna
    • 10. Fly by Sugar Ray
      Catchy tune...just happened at one of the best times of my life, kind of signifies pop to me
    • 9. Lump by Presidents Of The Usa
      what kind of message are they trying to get across? she's lump she's lump, she's in my head...yeah she is cuz it's so damn catchy

      Change is the only constant in life.
    • 7. Creep by Radiohead
      Yeah we're all weird sometimes
    • 6. I'm A Loser by Beck
      I'm a loser baby so why don't ya kill me, good for people who are not self concious...like who gives a f*ck what other people think!
    • 5. Nothing But A G Thang by Dr. Dre
      I had to put a couple fun songs in here, kick back and light up a spliff yO!
    • 4. Don't Speak by No Doubt
      Friendships are hard to come by these days and losing another friend is detremental.
    • 3. Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Suicide...good or bad? hmm listen to the song
    • 2. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Going Back to your roots, where everything began, your child hood...the best times in life.
    • 1. All Apologies by Nirvana
      This song shows the true meaning of life...can it get any better?

    • 10. Indigo Is Blue by Catherine Wheel
      Once again my favorite band - beautiful haunting song
    • 9. Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush
      Kate Bush the voice and the sensuality of her music
    • 8. It 's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
      Evan Dando I miss him - the lemonheads great band with great lyrics
    • 7. Crank by Catherine Wheel
      Catherine is my favorite band and crank is one of my favorites - once again haunting vocals with sonic,mesmerizing guitar - almost better than sex
    • 6. Head On by Jesus And Mary Chain
      What a great fun band - party
    • 5. Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order
      I fell in love dancing to it
    • 4. Lithium by Nirvana
      I can feel the 90's just thinking about that song - what a great explosive song , the 91's were great
    • 3. Cannonball by The Breeders
      Kim Deal - Great Guitar and fun band
    • 2. Here Comes Your Man by The pixies
      The pixies one of the most innovative , interesting and driving bands. Great song
    • 1. Black Metallic by Catherine Wheel
      A song that makes you stop in your track - original in every way Rob Dickinson has an incredible voice and the band is as hard and as strong as any alternative rock band I have ever heard - a must hear before you die


    By: Art_Vandelai
    • 10. When I'm 84 by The Beautiful South
      Not a well-known song, but describes how most of us feel about growing old - I'd rather jack!
    • 9. Ladykillers by Lush
      Just a great song - total sonic wall treatment, power pop at it's finest.
    • 8. Razorblades And Bandaides by Econoline Crush
    • 7. Higher Than The Sun by Primal Scream
      When I first heard this, I thought it was New Order. A great song to dance to, @$@^ to, or just listen to with the volume up loud.
    • 6. The Only One I Know by Charlatans UK
      These guys picked up where the Stone Roses left off. Charlatans were definitely the best of the Manchester bunch.
    • 5. My Lovers Box by Garbage
      Just think about what she's singing, and picture Shirley Manson. Mmmmm! What a rocking tune!
    • 4. Underwhelmed by Sloan
      If the Beatles had mated with Nirvana, this song would have been born. This band was pigeonholed as "a grunge band from Halifax" far too early. A couple of years later, and they would have been bigger than Pearl Jam and STP. Still writing amazing power pop.
    • 3. Echobelly by Dark Therapy
      Another song that just catches the listener up in its whirlwind. Passionately sung by the haunting Sonya Aurora-Madan, this song is just beautiful - not much more can be said.
    • 2. Speedway by Morrissey
      People always seem to get Morrissey wrong. Depressing? Yes, but look at the emotion, find the humour - whether dark or just silly, there's something in a Morrissey lyric that speaks to everything. This is Morrissey at his most biting and the distortion and massive drumbeet only feed the sense of anger and keeps the listner breathless after every listen.
    • 1. Losing My Religion by REM
      Best song of the decade by far and away. Sets the standard for the 90's.

    • 2. Wait And Bleed by Slipknot
      great song for a misunderstood band,makes your adrenaline rush.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      not their best song but look what it did to rock and more importabtly to the youth of the time who couldn't relate to a particular genre of music.

    i don't understand y every1 puts backstreet boys,s club 7 and spice girls in their top 10 cos that isn't proper music, proper music comes from inside and to make proper music you must actually write it and play your own instruments, not like all those fake bands.
    By: JM Specht
    • 10. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
      Another great song by them.

      Sure, you wanted to see it be #1. But nobody beats the Pumpkins.
    • 1. Muzzle by Smashing Pumpkins
      Quite possibly the greatest song of all time. "I fear that I ordinary...just like everyone"....

    I'll give an honorable mention to anything else ever made by the Pumpkins.
