      This is a fun song with fun lyrics and a great sound!
    • 9. Hero by Foo Fighters
      I love this song!

      I just love this song! It is fun to listen to and gets you in a good mood.
    • 6. School of the Hard Knocks by P.O.D.
    • 5. Jenny Says by Cowboy Mouth
      This is a good song and a good band and if you have never heard of them you need to cheak them out.
    • 4. Sugar by System of a Down
      This is just a all out cool band with great music and catchy lyrics.
    • 3. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground

    By: Adam
    • 10. Aenima by Tool
      I think Tool's greatest song.
    • 9. Metropolis Part 1 by Dream Theater
      The most amazing, most underrated band of all time (next to Rush).
    • 8. Epic by Faith No More
      Yeah I know this song isn't from the 90's, but it was released in '89 which is close enough, besides, Disposable Heroes was '86.
    • 7. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Although my personal favorite is Suck My Kiss, you have to hand it to them, they did an AMAZING job on this incredible song.
    • 6. All Over You by Live
      Not their most popular, but I believe it is definately their best.
    • 5. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      It was either this or Fell On Black Days. Difficult choice, but both are incredible songs.
    • 4. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Despite the fact that this is one of the most overplayed songs of all time, it is still one of the greatest. No questions asked. Period. (just look at the video!)
    • 3. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
      This is just one of those songs that you have goosebumps for the whole way through.
    • 2. Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins
      One of the greatest songs ever. How many other bands can write songs incorporating 31 piece string orchestras and still rock the house?
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      No questions asked.

    There were so, so many songs to pick from, and a lot of great songs were missed by some great bands like Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, REM, Radiohead, Bush, Foo Fighters, Green Day, White Zombie, etc. And this is simply one person's opinion so please do not get fired up over my selections.
