• 10. Falling Away From Me by Korn
  Korn were one of the most in fluential rock bands of the late 90's ansd still continue to be today. fantastic song from freak on a leash.
• 9. Song 2 by Blur
  great song.
• 8. Faith by Limp Bizkit
  They are pretty much dead now , but I still have respect for this band no matter what anyone else says. great cover.
• 7. Teardrop by Massive Attack
  really relaxing song. this is a really out of character song for me, but i love it all the same.
• 6. Ana's Song by Silverchair
  Silverchair in their prime. Neon Ballroom was my favourite album, closely followed by frogstomp. I can't say i like the chair anymore. They aren't what they used to be.
• 5. M n M's by Blink 182
  First release of this great band, oldie but a goodie with a funny video clip.
• 4. Adam's Song by Blink 182
  There is so much debate over Blink 182, but no matter what, they will still be my most favourite band ever. I don't care whether people call it punk , or pop-punk or pop, there a fantastic band with tremendous talent who have worked their butts off to get where they are today. Who freakin' cares , it's music! Adam's song features some fantastic drumming from Travis (as always) and i just really like the song in general!
• 3. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day
  Another popular choice, but everytime i hear it , i think of al the great times i've had w/ friends. sounds cheesy but its so true
• 2. Changes by 2pac
  I'm not usually into rap, but this song has a fantastic message and the death of Tupac Shakur was devastating.
• 1. Bittersweet Syphony by The Verve
  best song of the 90's!
