    • 10. Rusty Cage by Soundgarden
      One guy that used to play for the Cincinatti Reds had told me that this song was always played to warm them up before games...
    • 9. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
      Any STP Song would have done
    • 8. Fell On Black Days by Soundgarden
      The heaviest band of the grunge period..who where more metal than anything...make a realitivally soft song...and it was amazing.
    • 7. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
      Starts off with a weird acoustic part, goes into a james bond riff, then explodes into the strangest..yet..crazy..awsome..masterfull solo.
    • 6. Say Hello To Heaven by Temple Of The Dog
      A band put together for a death of a friend, and one great cd.
    • 5. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      One of the greatest video's to go along with an all time classic.
    • 4. Any Song Off Of Euphoria Morning by Chris Cornell
      The most underlooked, underatted cd of all time...blues, soul, rock, jazz, punk, and everything else all incorporated...The first single cant change me..was the worst song of the cd..if that tells you anything
    • 3. Sober by Tool
      The song that really got a great band going.
    • 2. Man In The Box by Alice In Chains
      One of those songs that gets everybody singing...but this time they are all singing the guitar part at the begining..
    • 1. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      The band that should've been the kings of rock..not nirvana. Though not even my favorite song of them, this one just happens to be the one everyone likes..and i know soundgarden has been on 3 times but..they where the best band of the 90's..thats why when they broke up..rock died...notice backstreet boys and all the other junk started around then...

    • 10. Everybody Hurts by REM
      Immediately after thinking this song I can recall the way the nineties felt. Isolation, materialistic, artificial, and meloncholy.
    • 9. My Girl by Nirvana
      My favorite Nirvana song. It is a music embodiment of my ex-girlfriend.
    • 8. Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson
      Full of anger and isolation. It makes me recall high school.
    • 7. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
      Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Makes me recall biblical stories and how they correlate with my life.
    • 6. Fall Semester by The Get Up Kids
      This song makes me recall the memories of the fighting with my parents...College.
    • 5. Never is a Promise by Fiona Apple
      This song is truly beautiful from someone who is usually very angry. You can almost taste Fiona's Manic Depression through the notes of this song.
    • 4. Digital Bath by Deftones
      The assemblige of this song is amazing. It makes you feel like you are in a broken down crackhouse.
    • 3. A Long December by The Counting Crows
      It fills the void of winter and the often shallowness of life.
    • 2. 1*15*96 by The Ataris
      This song is full of despair yet catchy. It is the perfect soundtrack to a long distance relationship or a depressed day.
    • 1. Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth by Primitive Radio Gods
      The most simplistic yet multilayerd song I have ever heard. So much depth and so much disconnection.

    To sum up the nineties listent to Mazzy Star, REM, Weezer, STP, Nirvana, Marylin Manson, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Samples.

    • 2. Helmet by Unsung
    • 1. Regret by New Order
