• 10. No Surprises by Radiohead
  Amazing, would've been higher but though variety would be good

  Different and brillient

  More quality nineties rock
• 7. These Living Arms by Tea Party
  Something different, awesome

  Ever looked out the window on the bus and watched the world flow by
• 5. Brick by Ben Folds Five

  R.E.M at their best, beautiful
• 3. ONE by U2
  What can i say, its brillient
• 2. Mrs. Potter's Lullaby by Counting Crows
  Its infectious and i never seem to get bored of it
• 1. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
  In 1995 when rock seemed lost on the airwaves, the album voted on BBC and by Q-magazine as the 2nd best ever slipped through almost unnoticed.

Was also considering, REM - Daysleeper, Counting Crows - Colorblind, Smashing Pumpkins - 1979, Wallflowers - One Headlight, Radiohead - Airbag

• 10. Nine Inch Nails by Closer
  This sex driven industrial tune, brought out the best in lead singer Trent Reznor and despite all the underlying sexual themes the song got major air time on MTV.
• 9. Rage Against the Machine by Freedom
  Standing out as a group with a political opinion and agenda like no other band of their time, RATM's "Freedom" put the band on the map and got a lot of people's attention really fast.
• 8. November Rain by Guns N Roses
  Not a particularly huge fan of the band, they still deserve credit for this rock masterpiece that spanned nearly 8 minutes in length.
• 7. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  A trip out video combined with one of the greatest lead singers of all time made for one of the biggest hits of the decade.
• 6. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
  Huge hit in the early 90's and a song that put STP among the top acts in the country.
• 5. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
  A song that experienced alternative and mainstream success, Billy Corgan's band recorded one of the more timeless songs of the decade.
• 4. Rooster by Alice in Chains
  A song inspired from the grim reality known as Vietnam, Alice in Chains took Grunge and rock music on to a whole new level with this incredible song and video.
• 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  The song that has kept Pearl Jam a favorite among many Grunge era fans.
• 2. Enter Sandman by Metallica
  A rock anthem, that is still a standard in mainstream metal.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  The turning point in rock and music in general in the early 1990's.

Honorable mentions in the decade include Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead,Mother Love Bone,Mudhoney,Screaming Trees,Sonic Youth,and Mad Season. All these bands had a lot to do with the rock resurgence in the early 90's, however I feel these were the best tunes of the 90's.

• 10. The Saga by Cormega
  Great lyrics, sick beat, Cormega is true hip hop
• 9. Get Away by Mobb Deep
  If u don't know why this is on the list just download it and listen. Great song.
• 8. Party N Bull Sh*t by Biggie
  Awsome beat, biggies voice made for this track
• 7. Slippin (dirty Version) by Dmx
  DMX spills his gust on this one, he talks about how F*cked up his life was, and how he fought of his demons, this track always gets me
• 6. Its Yours by Wu Tang
  Wu tang is soooooooo hype, and this has gotta be one of there best
• 5. Regulators by Warren G
  a Classic, the mellowness in warren n nates voice gives this song something I've never heard before. Promise u'll bob your head
• 4. Reene by Lost Boyz
  Mr Cheeks tell about his lost love in the way only he could, its so real u can feel his pain.
• 3. Thug Love by 2 Pac
  Bone thugs and 2 pac what more can I say, this song is gangstar, 5 different rappers ripp it up. (listen when u wanna get pumped)
• 2. Pain by 2 Pac
  This is one of pacs songs that never got to popular, dunno why. This song explains the everyday strugle in the ghetto, and the pain comes along with it
• 1. The Message by Nas
  Hip hop beat with some acoustic guitar put together in harmony, and to make it even better Nas saved his best lyrics for this one.

I know this all hip hop, but the last good rock music was made long ago, and no dance or trance cause this is probably an american or canadian site and u just wouldn't appreciate it to bad. Anyways this is in no way the top 10 hip hop songs, theres to many good songs to narrow it to 10.

  Until that point was the only song i didn't like of Aerosmith (since i've hate everything they have recorded) But many people like this song and brigs good memories for them.
• 8. Unforgiven by Metallica
  Personally the best hard song of the 90's (not metal) Great balance with hard electric guitars and acoustic guitars.
• 7. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Great mush song, maybe not with outstandig lyrics or anything like that but its just simply one of the best songs of the 90's
• 6. Beautiful Day by U2
  One positive song for any ocassion, it makes us feel alive and gives us the vive to sing with it. Very very good song.

  Very good song. Personally it has the bes written ending of a song :"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you be the sun in somebody elses' sky but why can't it be mine?"

  Great song by a great band, and alsgo great video. The violins help alot to this song and the lyrics are also very good.
