By: Josh
- 10. My Own Prison by Creed
Started on the foundation of post-grunge and then went on to help rock find it's identity in the late nineties and on.
- 9. Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins
Great song by a solid band.
- 8. Everything Zen by Bush
Nirvana wannabes, maybe. But they could sure rock out!
- 7. Dead & Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots
They weren't from Seattle, but they helped popularize the grunge/alternative rock movement.
- 6. If You Could Only See by Tonic
Epitomized the catchy alternative pop/rock songs of the mid 90's
- 5. Would by Alice in Chains
Man, they could rock hard.... Jerry Cantrell is a great guitarist!!
- 4. Enter Sandman by Metallica
What other 80's metal band was able to make the transition to 90's alternative rock and be so successful at it?
- 3. Evenflow by Pearl Jam
Is there a rock singer today who doesn't try to copy the full, rich sounds of Eddie Vedder's voice?

Soundgarden's gloomy riffs influenced today's "new metal" bands quite heavily.

- 10. Never There by Cake
This song has sentimental value for me-I heard it for the first time during a trip to San Diego and it always makes me think of that trip. Plus it's catchy!
- 9. No Son of Mine by Genesis
A great pop song by a band known for their art rock style. I prefer the art rock style myself but I won't knock a good pop song. This is one of the best.
- 8. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
Absolutely brilliant song by an awesome band. This was my anthem throughout all of high school.
- 7. Fastcar by Tracy Chapman
I love everything by Tracy Chapman but this is the song I can relate to most.
- 6. Restless One by Tall Stories
A very rare song off of a virtually unknown album...the best way to describe it is "The ballad above all ballads." Great song, great CD.
- 5. Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band
Crash into me, yeah...And I come into you... AWESOME song!
- 4. The Freshmen by Verve Pipe
Another sentimental song...I remember when things used to be like this when I was in high school.
- 3. I Would Have Loved You Anyway by Trisha Yearwood
Reminds me of an old love...strange how life turns out sometimes...
- 2. 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle
It's hard to find something bad to say about this song...a friend of mine committed sucide last year and had this song played at her funeral and it fit perfectly, unfortunately. The song is beautiful.
- 1. When You Love a Woman by Journey
This was the top hit off of one of the biggest comback albums in the 90's...plus they're my all time favorite!
There are so many songs that should be up here but that's the way it works sometimes....

- 10. To Be With You by Mr. Big
the list just wouldn't be complete without at least one ballad.
- 9. Keep Talking by Pink Floyd
A mild comeback but a great album.
- 8. Even Flow by Pearl Jam
Coming from their only good album
- 7. Little Bones by The Tragically Hip
I have to give the boys from my country some credit.
- 6. Psycho Circus by KISS
When the original members came back with all their make-up back on their face, it was the greatest thing they did.
- 5. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
So far all these have been released in 1991. Did the decade just go down from there?
- 4. Enter Sandman by Metallica
Another song that pops into mind the second someone says "1991"
- 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Although I no longer actually like the song, I have to admit, it had a huge impact on me the first time I heard it.
- 2. No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne
A great masterpiece by the godfather of metal.
- 1. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
This song had everything! Played with a symphony and done with great emotion. It still gives spine tinglies 11 years later.
A tough list. Most of these songs were more influential rather than liked by me. They are the songs that had an impact on me the first time I listened to them.

- 10. Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
Very kool riff that pops up throughout this song. Awesome interlude that compliments Lenny's abilities as a g-tar player. Very much in the mould of Jimi Hendrix. Very poppy.
- 9. Monkeywrench by Foo Fighters
Fun song to listen to. High lights Dave's true abilities as a capable vocalist as he shows off his massive range. Very poppy tune that everyone seems to know n love.
- 8. Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Flea's amazing bass humps ur face for 3 and 1/2 minutes as the Chilis grind out their strongest sounding song to date. In ur face bass, with an incredibly good g-tar solo during the interlude. Chorus goes off live.
- 7. Come As You Are by Nirvana
Dave's drumming on this song is a stand out. Infectious pop song with an opening riff that will stick in your head for generations. Best part of the song - chorus.
- 6. Adam's Song by Blink 182
Powerful song with an awesome piano bit in the interlude to imply a reflective state. Make's vocal strength really stand out on this track.
- 5. Soul 2 Squeeze by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Awesome g-tar stylings of John Frusciante - maturing vocal and lyrical capabilities of Anthony Kiedis as well Flea's amazing bass works on this song make it a stand out.
- 4. Lithium by Nirvana
The trademark song of Nirvana - kool clip - n kool song. Power chords play a big part in this song - Kurt floods out all of his emotions. Cant help not sing along with this song.
- 3. Everlong by Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl)
This song will blast u away. Perfect lead up to chorus. This song high lights just how good a musician Dave Grohl really is. Clip must be rated by all
- 2. Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis
Chorus goes off, good to sing along to at a drunken party. Best vocals off Whats the story morning glory
- 1. Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Awesome g-tar leading up to last chorus, deep soulfull meaning. Amazingly good vocals - incredibly powerful chorus. Backing vocals from John adds more credit to the song. How good is the clip?
I wanted to include some Faith No More stuffs but 'the real thing' was recorded in 89. oh well. Epic, Falling to Pieces and From Out of nowhere stand out. As well - Midlife Crisis, Evidence, the gentle art of making enemies and the hippie jam song are all kool.
