    By: Aura
    • 10. Ava Adore by Smashing Pumpkins
      This is kind of a scary song lyrics wise, but the melody is good and the entire eery but really powerful feeling is great!
    • 9. All I Really Want by Alanis Morisette
      of course, alanis kind of began this whole angry chick music phase and was damn well good at it! jagged little pill is in my top three for favorite albums, and this song is just so amazing.
    • 8. Surrounded by Chantal Kreviazuk
      I never really noticed how good this song was until I listened to it a few more times, really closely. She brought in really great instrumentals and I think Chantal is one of the most talented singers of our time.
    • 7. Song 2 by Blur
      The first time I heard this song was from a beer commercial and i loved it so much! Blur is an awesome band and this song, although it's short, is one a great party song.
    • 6. Porcelin by Moby
      i love this song! every time i hear it i feel like sinking back, closing my eyes and listening to it, when i ever do my home spas stuff, i always put this song on.
    • 5. Pure Morning by Placebo
      i find this song very sexual, the entire essence but i love the way it
    • 4. All Apologies by Nirvana
      again, nirvana has these amazing guitars, like at the beginning, and i love the way how it's so calm and the lyrics are great
    • 3. Kiss From A Rose by Seal
      i love this song, i honestly think this is the or one of the best love songs in the world. i used to watch batman forever over and over so i could listen to that song again and again.
    • 2. The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      It's sad and depressing but the guitars are amazing, and the harmonies are great. I just don't like the whole choir part at the end.
    • 1. Lithium by Nirvana
      I heard this song for the first time and I loved it so much! It makes me feel good for some reason, I'm not sure why, but it really introduced me to Nirvana, which is now my favorite band in the whole world.


    By: Steve Sands
    • 10. No Suprises by Radiohead
      No One does Sombre like these guys!
    • 9. Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers
      Classic Richie Edwards inspired Manics 1992 Anthem, only bettered by Design For Life.
    • 8. Insomnia by Feeder
      Yes, there was life for Feeder before Echo Park, this song is simple yet sooo.. catchy.
    • 7. All The Small Things by Blink 182
      Wow, was this song really 1999? Where does the time go?
    • 6. Disco 2000 by Pulp
      Never trendy Pulp, but this song is ace, A Different Class was one of the great albums of the 90's
    • 5. Me and You Versus The Word by Space
      Liverpool rockers Space, a band who I never wanted to split - this song is absolute class - where are you now Space? Come back!
    • 4. The Circle by Ocean Colour Scene
      I feel this song is better then anything they did on Marchin' Already.
    • 3. Sonnet by The Verve
      The Verve, how I miss them, this song has such a cool slow feel to it.
    • 2. Legacy by Mansun
      The most under-rated band of all time, Mansun have such a unique style, this song has the best lyrics and such a cool video.
    • 1. Design For Life by Manic Street Preachers
      The best Indie Anthem of the 20th Century, bar none. My Favourite song of all time.

    The 90's was the decade for English Indie - the best. 2000 onwards looks like American Indie - Metal - Punk, good but English bands do it better!
    By: Fidel Velasquez
    • 10. Are You Gonna Go My Way? by Lenny Kravitz
      Just a musical masterpiece, an extremely catchy rock and roll song by a great rock and roll preformer!!!
    • 9. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      A great song with a special message about misunderstood youth, and the video just fortells the High School shootings,..great lyrics by Eddie Vedder
    • 8. Dear Mama by 2pac
      A great ode to our mothers, though we didnt come out the "hood" or have it bad in our chilhood but its definetly to say to our mothers "they are appreciated"
    • 7. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      A thunderous rock and roll experience and definetly a great rock n roll song
    • 6. One by U2
      Great song by THE greatest band of the 90's (without a doubt) and is at the 6th at the expence of my musical taste but definetly a classic
    • 5. November Rain by Guns N Roses
      A classic and one of the greatest musical compositions of the 90's fluidly mixing orchestral melodies with rock and roll instruments,...
    • 4. Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
      One of greatests bands out of the US in the 90's (just edged out by Nirvana for the #1) have managed to write up a classic song and of the sweetest melodies Ive ever heard
    • 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Just an entire generations anthem and only 3rd in my list cause the ones above are better written an have more epth in the lyrics,...but nonetheless a great Rock N roll song and efinetly the bEST rock band out of the US
    • 2. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      Musical perfection, it almost makes you wanna cry!! (was actually my #1 choice but I like Wonderwall bettter)
    • 1. Wonderwall by Oasis
      Its just a classic written by one of our generations best songwriters (if not the best) in the grander scale Noel Gallagher is really up there with Lennon, Morrison,Mcartney,and all the greats...! (just a great song along with a dulcet melody,...

    There are of course much other great songs that grtacious artists elighted us in the 90's that could might as well be in this list this is justmy attempt to rank them (but Oasis Talk Tonight should probably be in #2 and Stand by Me at #3 I just didnt want to put 2 of the same artists ;-)
