Everyone who was a teenager during the 90's will agree with this selection
- 9. Power by Snap
cause i had to include a dance track
- 8. No Good [Start The Dance] by The Prodigy
Cause They are the kings of electronic music.
- 7. California Love by 2pac and Dr.Dre
RnB and Hip Hop where the big winners of the decade. especially after 1995 they owned the charts
- 6. What's up by 4 Non Blondes
It's Soooo 90's
- 5. Two Princes by Spin Doctors
Early 90's. All time classic
- 4. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
maybe the most influential band of the 90's.

ok ok i know it's not really 90's but i like this more than the original

same as #3. The MTV Video Music awards 1997 version is propably the best song i've heard
- 1. Black or White by Michael Jackson
took me more than 1 hour to make that list. i'm not 100% sure about the #1 but jacko deserves it
i was born on 1979. so i'm 1/4 generation x-er and 3/4 90's kid. in my opinion the 90's was the most revolutionary era in music after the 50's (rock n' roll). anyway the 80's will always have a big piece of my heart.

- 9. The Way by Fastball
Song about a journey. Good Beat. Good Lyrics. Enough said.
- 8. Time of Your Life by Green Day
Alas, I choose one of the band's less hardcore songs. I do believe that there is an aura about this song that forces every human to look back upon something when listening to this song, whether it be graduation or whatever.
- 7. Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
How many of you out there can not like this song. "...step outside, but not to brawl...I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl..." Absolutely Classic!
- 6. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
Yes, constant drum beat, the wailing voice...its all components for yet another great song.
- 5. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
A good 'pick-you-up song.' In a down mood? Listen to this song and you feel your foot tap and you lips sing along, garuanteed.
- 4. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
This may be a popular one on this list, but I must put it on. The shear sound of the lyrics makes you feel somthing crumble inside of you.
- 3. Losing My Religion by REM
Yes, this song definately deserves a high rank. As Henni put it,"really really lovely. Just beautiful."
- 2. Bittersweet Smyphony by Verve
Many of you have heard the tune, but probably couldn't ID it. I suggest you download it! It's retitious beat grows on you.
- 1. Ants Marching by Dave Matthews
By far, the meaning and feeling of this song is quite powerful and a great song by a great band.
Other notables: Zoot Suit Riot-Cherry Popin' Dadies, Intergalactic- Beastie Boys, Breakfast at Tiffany's- Deep Blue Something, I'll Be- Edwin McCain, What it's Like- Everlast, Smells like Teen Spirit- Nirvana, Why Don't You Get a Job- Offspring, Vitual Insanity- Jamiroquia, Kiss Me- Sixpence, None the Richer. Thanks and I bid you "Farewell!"
By: The Father of Rock'n'Roll
- 10. In Bloom by Nirvana
We all know, or we all SHOULD know, that Nirvan was definetly the band that broke through the 80's hairbands, and totally redefined rock n roll for the decade. We definetly needed a change, and Nirvana was our answer. When Smell Like Teen Spirit was released in 1991, all the kids who were listening to Poison, Bon jovi, and Winger had been introduced to grunge. And you know what, THEY FUCKING LOVED IT. This is the second track off of "Nevermind" and is a kick ass song.
- 9. Primus by Jerry was a race car driver
You gotta love that funk 'ol band Primus, always coming up with good shit. This one is on "Sailing the seas of cheese". It can also be heard on Tony Hawk's Pro Skagter, the first game. With excellent beats and kick ass bass, Thsi is definetly one of the best songs of the 90's.
- 8. Third Eye by TooL
After 3 years of being out of the studio, due to heavy touring and song wrting, Tool rocked back into the Charts with "Aenima" in 1996. This track, the 15 minute last song on the CD, is filled with illusionary and hypnotizing chords and beats, as well as complex and meaningful lyrics. Also contains a speech by Bill Hicks. Whether you love drugs or not, you'll love this song.
- 7. What the Hell have I by Alice In Chains
First of all RIP Layne Staley (1967-2002), you will be missed. This song appears on the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack. One of the many AIC song that rocks and kicks ass. Such a tight song with excellent lyrics. If you have not heard it, Fuckin download that shit right now.
- 6. War? by System of a Down
On their debut self-titled CD. This is a band that will stick around for quite a while. Their lastest work "Toxicity" did not end up as many sophomore efforts have in the past [For example: (Remember, this is opinon, so dont get pissy pants) Silverchair's Freak Show, and Godsamk's Awake] Wicked good song, listen to it if you havent.
- 5. Freedom by Rage Against the Machine
On the self titled CD, again a CD you can play the whole way through and not have to switch a track. A political hardcore song tht makes you want to hit something
- 4. Even Flow by Pearl Jam
Off of "Ten", their debut album, which is one of those albums you can play the whole way through with out stopping. Definetly their best work they've done. Sad to say, but they should quit now, because they will never match that album.
- 3. Rooster by Alice In Chains
Off of their breakthrough album "Dirt" released in 1992, aroudn the same time that many breakthrough rock albums came out such as Nevermind, Undertow, Ten, and Core. The song is about Jerry Cantrell's father in the Vietnam War.
- 2. Just Go by Staind
Best song Staind has ever done. I know they have kind of gone mainstream and quieted down since "Dysfunction", but they are still an excellent band. If you are a Staind fan or a hardcore fan and have not heard this album, I suggest you buy it and play from track one to the end.
- 1. Opiate by TooL
Such a kick ass song, anyone whos is anyone should know this song too. It is off of their first release, the EP "OPIATE". Not played as much as such tracks as "Sober", "Prison Sex", or "Stinkfist (Don't get me wrong those songs kick ass too) but definetly deserves as much credit.
This is my list. Any rock n roll fan woudl agree, and if you dont you suck. If you would like to discuss music or anything in general, feel free to e-mail me at bostonbastahd@hotmail.com
