    By: Rich
    • 10. Shimmy Shimmy Ya! by Old Dirty Bastard
      again his whole first CD was just great. And, I could have named any song off of it.
    • 9. Gin And Juice by Snoop Dog
      the whole cd kicked ass
    • 8. Everybody Hurts by REM
      just a good song.
    • 7. One Head Light by Wall Flowers
      great song.
    • 6. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Endless hours of F-Zero on the Super Nintendo while listening to this song, along with the rest of the CD.
    • 5. Come As You Are by Nirvana
      amazing song nothing more needs to be said.
    • 4. No Rain by Blind Melon
      just a great song. That and the freckled girl in the bumble bee suit was always fun to laugh at.
    • 3. Nothing But a G-Thing by Dre Dre (Snoops first appearance)
      the song just kicks ass
    • 2. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
      It was crap but everyone has it in MP3 form, and listens to it under the guise of a joke.
    • 1. Two Princes by Spin Doctors
      Whether you admit or not, everyone liked this song for a bit

    This list is in no order, and basically contains the names of songs I could remember at 6AM. I left a ton off the list, some probably more deserving than the ones that made it. Maybe I will put together a second list at some time.
