• 10. Dead From The Waist Down by Catatonia
  Thought I'd end with a tender song. Cerys' voice is amazing.
• 9. Richard Iii by Supergrass
  More rock!!!
• 8. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here by Weezer
  THE song to listen to when you wind up a situation without knowing how you got there.
• 7. Everlong by Foo Fighters
  Looking through other lists, I notice that this song is quite popular, more popular than I ever thought. Not that it surprises me, this song rules.
• 6. When I Come Around by Green Day
  Was my number 1 for many years. I lost myself for four minutes when I heard it live.
• 5. Always Your Way by My Vitriol
  Reminds me a lost weekend I once had. Tender.
• 4. Days Of The Pheonix by Afi
  Awesome lyrics, though nearly incomprehensible. The screaming "Whoaaaah" does it for me!
• 3. Stand Inside Your Love by Smashing Pumpkins
  Ultimate love song without the ribbons and bows of sickly-sweet pop music.
• 2. Night Vision by Hell Is For Heroes
  Heard this on MTV2 and instantly thought it was a classic.
• 1. Another Morning Stoner by ...trail Of Dead
  The vocals climb from sleepy to screaming; the guitar riff circles incessantly through the song and the drums in the middle kick ass. The lyrics are deep.

I can't believe there are SO many people with such little taste in music advertising their "lists" here. If my taste influences you to download any of the above 10 and feel the way I do about them, then my work here is worthwhile.

• 10. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  Great meaningful song. Chris Cornell has a near perfect voice.
• 9. Everlong by Foo Fighters
  
• 8. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  In my oppinion Nirvana are one of the most overrated bands in history but this song is definitely one of the best of the 90s.
• 7. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
  One of the powerhouse bands of the 80s. Best song off their last great album (the black album).
• 6. Lightning Crashes by Live
  Classic
• 5. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  One of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.
• 4. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  The best live song ive ever seen. Been a fan of the peppers since 1988 and these guys are honestly provide the best live performances of any band ive ever seen.
• 3. Go/Alive by Pearl Jam
  These two songs are what really enticed people to rush and buy Vs (sold 1million in first week!). The best intro to and album.. ever!
• 2. Alive by Pearl Jam
  Excellent live song. Easily the best pearl jam song on their debut album - vs and probably their most famous song.
• 1. Vietnow/ Sleep Now In The Fire by Rage Against The Machine
  Very, very undderrated band. Possibly best band of the 90s and pioneers of rock.

• 10. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
  Awesome lyrics and guitars. The acoustic version is good too.
• 9. Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt
  The best song on their best album to date. Gwen can sing.
• 8. Falling Away from Me by Korn
  Korn is in my opinion one of the most influential bands of the 90's. Don't get me wrong, Nirvana was influental too. Just not good enough to put on my list :). The part where he starts singing (with him yelling the lyrics in the background) gets me everytime. So beautiful.
• 7. Placing the Blame by Self
  One of my favorite bands, not many people have heard of them (or should I say him - most of the work is done by Matt Mahaffey) - amazing lyrics.
• 6. Dissolved Girl by Massive Attack
  Massive Attack is the master of trip-hop, and this song is my favorite by them. It was in the movie 'The Matrix', in the beginning - it's the song Neo is listening to on his headphones.
• 5. Burden in My Hand by Soundgarden
  My favorite song by one of, if not the best rock band of the 90's.
• 4. Jesus or a Gun by Fuel
  I can always recognize this song by it's opening guitar chord. Great vocals - their album 'Sunburn' is one of my favorite albums of all time.
• 3. Halcyon and On and On by Orbital
  A classic, used in the beginning of the movie 'Hackers'. Good stuff.
• 2. Karma Police by Radiohead
  A great song.
• 1. Killer Inside by Better Than Ezra
  The best part is when it hits the violin solo that blends into the guitar solo. Amazing.

This was reeeeeally tough. At first I tried to cover lots of genres and pick the best from each genre, but I ended up focusing on rock, alternative, hard rock, and electronic music.
