Daine Warren wrote this one, and Bill Champlin does the vocals. Champlin also has some strong solo albums; I especially like "Runaway" from 1981.

Wonderful song written by Eric Carmen. Good video too, by the way.
- 2. All About Time by Jimmy Harnen
Great rock song. Great guitars and vocals.

Awesome rock song. Peter Beckett's vocals are great. This is off the "Shelf Life" album. Very underrated song, album and band.

- 8. It's Your Love by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

- 3. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
- 2. Hurricane (weather patterns) by Something Corporate
If you haven't heard anything by the band Something Corporate then you dont know what you're missing.
- 1. Time Of You Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day
Somehting Corporate is rather amazing. I also must add that the Goo Goo Dolls are very impressive as well. And don't let me forget Tim McGraw, who is easily the best country music artist out there.
By: Adam

the Brit invasion
- 9. Summertime by Sublime

A work of genious
- 3. 1979 by Smashing Pmpkins

- 2. Good Riddance by Greenday
Greatest Ballad ever
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Was there ever any question?
By: Jesse
- 10. Wonderwall by Oasis
when i heard this song i thought the beatles had come back...i was then bitterly disappointed. but seriously, give this album a "re-listen" it's still good and wonderwall is the best. also, this band made it ok for a "brit invasion renaissance"...just look how many bands came over after them (blur & radiohead for example). **note i know radiohead didn't "cross over" after oasis, but oasis's fans were opened up to the other brit bands.
- 9. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
this song is the figurehead for this album. try listening to this album while doing ANYTHING that requires cognitive functions...you'll become a genius i swear!
- 8. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
another epic song...wow. the masses consumed the pain in the lyrics of this song like mr. kiedis consumed drugs while writing this song. (darn...hope i spelled his name right)
- 7. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
most popular song by this band for many people. proved that it was bad to pick on other kids. scared the bejesus outta my parents.
- 6. Lithium by Nirvana
grunge...grunge ruled the cd player back then. we'll be telling our grandkids we saw this band live when we were young and they will be jealous.
- 5. November Rain by Guns N Roses
epic song. the only song from this band that you could let your parents listen to and not be ashamed. (i still wonder who would win in a fight between axl rose and mr. cobain.......oh well)
- 4. When I Come Around by Green Day
the MOST underrated band of the decade. everyone listened to them at that time and nobody ever lists them as influential, but take a listen to some of the popular artists right now and you'll hear these guys. get dookie back out of the closet and put it back in your player...it still sounds fresh.
- 3. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
crushed rocks dilluted glam image. 10 years later the band reinforces rocks glam image. funny how that worked out, huh?
- 2. Black by Pearl Jam
unreleased as a single, yet the most popular song amongst fans who actually listened to the entire album. almost everyone who hears this song identifies with it...unless they're in a coma.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
does this need a comment? changed the course of music from stuff like warrant's "cherry pie" to actually respectable music. (not to mention the fact that the song is awesome)
**lots of good music during the '90s but not a lot that is still culturally significant...i think the bands above still are and always will be.
By: Mike
- 10. Satilite by Dave Matthew's
I hate Dave, yet I need to give him his props. He has a great deal of hits, this was just one.
- 9. Bad Boys by Inner Circle
Don't know if it came out in the 90's, but it gained all its popularity during the 90's. Due to the fact that its the "COPS" theme and all.
- 8. No Rain by Blind Melon
Hoon was great on GNR's Don't Cry. The one hit is his legacy, would have been more if he didn't OD.
- 7. Name by Goo Goo Dolls
Could also be Iris, or Slide. However, "Name" put the Goo's on the map.
- 6. Good Riddance by Green Day
Could also be Basket Case, however, this song took the 90's by storm. There was not a sad or memorable moment on TV that didn't have this song inthe backround. Like the series finale of Seinfeld to name one.
- 5. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
Song blows, but the impact it left, needs to be on the list.
- 4. What is Love? by Haddaway
Everyone knows this song, it needs to be in the list.
- 3. My Name Is by Eminem
Whitey came out of nowhere, took the world by storm.
- 2. Smells Like Teen Spirt by Nirvana
Can't disagree, very popular band.
- 1. Estranged by Guns N' Roses
Just an epic of a song. Well written, well executed. Says a lot, listen to it and listen to the lyrics.
Like any list, this is very debatable
By: Andrew
- 10. The One I Want by Green Day
cd - 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Only of you!
- 9. Only Of You by Green Day
cd - 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Title says it all!
- 8. The Judges Daughter by Green Day
cd - 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Good lyrics, great music!
- 7. Welcome To Paradise by Green Day
cd - Kerplunk/Dookie! Quality stuff!
- 6. Basket Case by Green Day
cd - Dookie! Hardcore feel!
- 5. Poprocks And Coke by Green Day
cd - Shenanigans Whitney likes it so I put it on here. It's an alright song!
- 4. Scattered by Green Day
cd - Nimrod This song just means a lot to me!
- 3. Uptight by Green Day
cd - Nimrod You'll get wrapped up in this song!
- 2. F.O.D. by Green Day
cd - Dookie! Great message!
- 1. Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day
cd- Nimrod Amazing feel and great lyrics!
Ps. This list may prove to be a rather bias top ten. Many of the choices seem to be similar although they all are quality songs with quality lyrics. That is all.
