      Another great pop alternative hit.

      These guys are nerds. I like that. I like this song.
    • 7. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

    • 6. Ruby Soho by Rancid
      Ok I have to start including some of the more alternative punk stuff, even if this song was still a big hit... if I had my way every house would have a copy.
    • 5. Freak by Silverchair
      An Aussie band which HAS cracked America. Good song. Too bad the band has now lost all their rock roots.
    • 4. Prisoner Of Society by The Living End
      Was a huge hit in Australia, for a band that is huge in Australia. So what if they haven't cracked America yet?
    • 3. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) by Green Day
      Green Day proved punk bands CAN be versatile with this huge hit.
    • 2. Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve
      Hey, they may not've written it, and they may've got into trouble for using the symphonic background music, but it's still a great song.
    • 1. The Impression That I Get by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
      Ska had a period where it was big in the 90s. This song signifies that. Must've heard it a gazillion times but still turn the radio up when it's on.

    I left out a lot of ska and punk and Aussie music that I like, because it will never count as "great" even if the music was, indeed, "great".

      The most underrated band I know of. When I first started listening to them, I knew one or two songs I liked. Then I found out all these other songs that I liked were actually Live songs. This is my personal favorite.
    • 1. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
      Quite simply the best song from the best band.

    Really hard choices there. Runners-up: Would? by Alice in Chains, Violet by Hole, Breathe by Prodigy, Creep by Radiohead, Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine, In the Meantime by Spacehog, Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt, and Buddy Holly by Weezer.
