    • 8. Jump Around by House Of Pain
    • 7. Right Here, Right Now by Jesus Jones
      Just a catchy tune.
    • 6. Can't Touch This by Mc Hammer
      I know those parachute pants look retarded now but even 10 years down the track you can still hear the chorus on the streets. Hey, whatever happened to Hammer anyway?
    • 5. Ice, Ice, Baby by Vanilla Ice
      U can really hate this guy but you can't beat that bass rift.
    • 4. Ring, Ring, Ring by De La Soul
      This must have been the only song ever with the central theme being being an answering machine. Catchy anyway.
    • 3. How Bizzare by Omc
      A big hit from 1996. Dosn't this song just make u feel happy for some reason......no.......maybe it's just me.
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Still cant figure out the lyrics but anyone will bang their heads to this.
    • 1. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
      Extremely catchy lyrics and guitar that kills.

      Just scraped in two years after his death. Just a pretty good tribute to possibly the best rapper of the 90's.
    • 9. My Name Is by Slim Shady
      The song that started it all for White Rap.

      Just a catchy tune.
