By: Martin Hadberg
- 10. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
great song!!! it got played alot in the 90's, not as much as "Smells like teen sprit" but still...

- 2. One by U2

- 1. Grace by Jeff Buckley
R.I.P - You trudly were a god-given talent!!! My favourite song of the 90's...
The definition of the 90's was Nirvana. But the 90's were alot of things...it mostly rocked by the Seattle crew: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains. But in the late 90's it pop'ed with Britney and all the other pop icons "which sucks" in my opinion, it's not really pure! most of it, is produced. But in general, nobody ruled the 90's, it was the time of "the one hit wonders"!!!

By: RIP layne and kurt
- 10. Been Caught Stealin by Jane's Addiction
Personally, I detest Jane's Addiction with a burning passion. But this song is one exception...it's GREAT! so yeah, it makes my countdown.
- 9. Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana
Probably my favorite song of all timen, even including all the great stuff from the 70's and 60's. Personally, I prefer "In Utero" over "Nevermind", even though it was bashed by critics. Each song on it is unique (like AIC'S Dirt), unlike Nevermind's somewhat repetative but successful formula.
- 8. Creep by Radiohead
OK Computer changed rock almost as much as Nevermind, Dirt or Ten, the three focal records of the 90's. Its strangely melodic, hardly-rock beat caught a line on the mainstream and influenced many.
- 7. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
Never been too fond of this band, but I LOVE this song. Kinda punkish, grunge-ish...good stuff.
- 6. Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg
Never been one for rap, except I realize that "gangsta" rap has had a great impact on our culture. Gin and Juice is one of the many anthems. Good song, too.
- 5. Rooster by Alice in Chains
The most dramatic, heart-wrenching song I have ever heard. Truly one of AIC's finest works. It ranks up there with the greatest of grunge hits. Yet another masterpiece collected within Dirt. I cannot iterate enough on the greatness of AIC's Dirt. EVERY song on it is as powerful as the last, particularly "Rooster", "Would", "Down in a Hole", "Them Bones", and "Godsmack". Even tunes a bit on the weird side such as "Angry Chair" and "Sickman" have their merits, and are as beautiful in dissonance as the stronger songs are in harmony. As far as grunge albums go, it is third in commercial success (after Nevermind and Ten) and second in critical success (after Nevermind). AIC is so greatly underappreciated, it's almost as depressing as their lyrics. Their dark, brooding but somewhat hopeful songs have inspired and influenced hundreds of bands, including Creed, Staind, Godsmack (named after one of AIC's songs), Puddle of Mud, Nickelback, etc etc etc. And AIC did it a helluva lot better than any of those bands mentioned.
- 4. Losing my Religion by REM
A big hit from an influential band
- 3. Alive by Pearl Jam
Wow...dramatic, self-distinguishable song. TEN was commercially successful...even though I dont like Pearl Jam too much, the whole Ten CD may be one of the best works of art in rock history, along with Dirt and Nevermind...jeesh, that time spawned a lot of success!
- 2. Would? by Alice in Chains
The song that really started it out for them. Layne Staley for vocals, Cantrell on guitar, amazing bass and drums. WHO could ask for a better composition for a band. Dirt, btw, was the most critically acclaimed album of the whole grunge movement besides Nirvana's Nevermind, of course. It was more successful than any of Soundgarden's records, with 5 million sold. AIC deserves more respect than they usually get.
- 1. Nirvana by Smells Like Teen Spirit
THE MOST influential song of the 90's, hands down. Really started it off for Seattle....great song, too.
Yeah, as you can tell, I'm a bit biased towards the rock genre. But still, it was the major genre of music of that time, particularly during the grunge era. Three essential albums, I would say, are Nevermind, Dirt, and Ten, in that order. I have come up with this rank by adding up the commercial and critical success. AIC and Nirvana: combined, two of the greatest bands to ever grace the planet with musical magic. AIC, with a negatively-charged emotional mood, and Nirvana with a more upbeat sound. Of course, there are other bands of the 90's - notable ones too - that did not get on my countdown, and they deserve just as much recognition.

- 10. State Of Love And Trust by Pearl Jam
Outstanding lyrics and melody. An expression of deep thought and pain.
- 9. Live-in Skin by Foo Fighters
A non-release on Foo Fighters BEST album, There Is Nothing Left To Lose. "I'm amazed that I'm still standing and I demand that we all play dead"
- 8. Black by Pearl Jam
A very moving and powerful song. Eddie Vedder's voice is amazing.
- 7. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
All that stuff about Smells Like Teen Spirit being the best nirvana song ever is bull. This song blows it out of the water.
- 6. Would? by Alice In Chains
This is an amazing song with an explosive chorus and a haunting ending.
- 5. Just by Radiohead
All in all, a summary of ninety's rock in itself.
- 4. In My Tree by Pearl Jam
A non-release off of pearl jam's worst album, but still one of my favorite songs ever. (as you can tell i'm a HUGE pearl jam fan)
- 3. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
Listen to this song, there's nothing like it!
- 2. Burden In My Hand by Soundgarden
