    By: A. Rahman
    • 10. The Sweetest Thing by U2
      Great song
    • 9. Supersonic by Oasis
      There's something about the chorus that I just can't get enough of
    • 8. Wonderwall by Oasis
      Probably the best acoustic song ever
    • 7. One Headlight by The Wallflowers
      The lyrics are deep and sad but still are able to create a sense of hope
    • 6. Can't Help Falling In Love by UB40
      The music to this song is absolutely amazing. The words are full of powerful emotion
    • 5. Yellow by Coldplay
      This is one of the saddest, mellowest songs ever made
    • 4. Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis
      it's got a sad aspect surrounding it with great music
    • 3. Don't Cry by Guns N' Roses
      Great video too
    • 2. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
      It's beautiful yet haunting
    • 1. Santeria by Sublime
      This is no doubt the best song ever made, for any decade, ever. It has its own entity, its own soul, definitely the best.

    Well, I know I mentioned Oasis more than a few times, but really, there are maybe thousands of songs I didn't mention. I wish this was a top 100 song list or something, I would've had fun with that.

    • 10. Come As You Are by Nirvana
      Nirvana is one of my favorite bands ever. This is my favorite from them, although I love every single one of their songs.
    • 9. Cooling by Tori Amos
      Tori is so Awesome!
    • 8. Pure Morning by Placebo
      This is the song that got me into Placebo, a great band. Without You I'm Nothing is a great album. Check it out.
    • 7. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      That guitar solo! So amazing, and a wonderfully confessional song from Anthony Kiedis.
    • 6. Bulletproof...I wish I was by Radiohead
      Every Radiohead song is phenomenal, in my opinion, but I just love this one.
    • 5. Army of Me by Bjork
      Bjork is so great, and it is hard to pick a favorite from her. But, I just love this one. It Rocks!
    • 4. Release by Pearl Jam
      Pearl Jam is such a great band, and this is my absolute favorite from them. Gorgeous song, and reminds me of a certain time in my life. From the Ten album.
    • 3. Everybody Hurts by REM
      Just an amazing song by a really amazing band.
    • 2. Epic by Faith No More
      Just a hell of a good song. Very energetic, but the piano at the end is very pretty.
    • 1. Say Hello to Heaven by Temple of the Dog
      temple of the dog is my favorite album ever! the combination of two really great bands.. soundgarden and pearl jam paying tribute to andy wood. beautiful song paying tribute to him.

    These songs are in no particular order. A few other really great songs from the nineties were: Low by Cracker, Creep by STP, Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve, Changes by Tupac, and Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns by Mother Love Bone. There are so many great songs from the nineties, that it was hard to make this list. But i love all the songs on this list as well as countless others.

    • 10. Love Gets Me Every Time by Shania Twain
      My favorite so far of my Carrollton, Georgia years
    • 9. This is How We Do It by Montell Jordan
      It made the very busy mid-1990s a little more tolerable.
    • 8. Macarena by Los del Rios
      The song heard most often at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, where I served in Georgia Dome press operations.
    • 7. The Power by Snap
      I'm gettin', I'm gettin', I'm gettin' kind of happy.
    • 6. You're Never Gonna Get It (My Love) by En Vogue
      This 1990s ladies' group reminded me of the Pointer Sisters & the Supremes.
    • 5. Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane
      He drove it all night long; but really life is a journey.
    • 4. End of the Road by BoyZ II Men
      Appropriate for the Eddie Murphy-Halle Berry-Robin Givens movie "Boomerang", this person likes the longer version.
    • 3. Gonna Make You Sweat by C&C Music Factory
      #1 before my 30th birthday, it was a hit during the Persian Gulf War. Disco briefly came back.
    • 2. Testify by Sounds of Blackness
      From an album that is one of the best R&B/soul/gospel albums I've ever heard. I'm glad to have it in my collection.
    • 1. Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness
      This record proves that one does not have to preach in order to bring an inspirational message.

    I had to think about it a little before I chose this top 10. I began to become turned off by popular music with the rise in popularity of gangsta rap & the Republican takeover of Congress.

    • 9. Milk by Garbage
      Shirley looks so pretty in this video. She always sings excellent.
    • 8. If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow
      She is the best female-rock of the 90s.
    • 7. Wishlist by Pearl Jam
      The lyrics are the best of the 90s.

      Michael Stipe is simply mi idol, my role model. I admire him completely, he sings so well, and writes such wonderful songs...
    • 5. Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor
      I like so much the music of Sin�ad's. Many people disagree with her filosophy, I don't really know it. But talking musically, Sin�ad is GREAT.
    • 4. Wannabe by Spice Girls
      I am not a big pop fan, but you cannot disagree with me that it is an excellent song for dancing, singing loud and having fun.
    • 3. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
      It is a very good one. I would say the best of Metallica. The lyrics are wonderful.

      Well, you all know what this song means: the GRUNGE revolution. I love this one.
    • 1. Don't Speak by No Doubt
      This is a song that I really, really feel. Sometimes it brings me to tears. It also has a great guitar solo and (as always) Gwen Stefani sings amazing in this song.

    The 90s were the best :)
