  Kurt Cobain's mellon collie was a beautifully colored green Grunge.

  I hate to be a "bandwagoner", but this song said alot. Most of all, it said that 80's hair bands were gone and the face of music has changed forever.

Too many songs, so little time.

• 10. Photograph by The Verve Pipe
  What can I say. It is a song about the place that you are standing in, and how you feel. The song makes me feel like time is standing still and it lets me know how insignificant everything around me is except for what is with me at the time.
• 9. March of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails
  Its about people and life. You can't trust anyone because everything they say is all lies and they will eventually come back to bite you in the ass. Surprise!~!!!!!!!!

  Everything sucks and that we will all go eventually
• 2. Pearl Jam by Jeremy
  Complete Anger - The 90's
• 1. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
  What can I say. This song foretells the eventual death of Kurt D. Cobain. If you saw the video you would know what I am trying to say.

• 10. I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan
  This was my senior class song, so I tear up everytime I hear it. It really means alot.
• 9. Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim
  This is a great dancing, partying song. During my college years on the weekends this was always playing in my car!
• 8. Uninvited by Alanis Morissette
  I hated City of Angels, but I love the song. Very powerful!
• 7. Come Out And Play by Offspring
  Another fun song- one I loved to blare on my radio!
• 6. Time Of Your Life by Green Day
  This song was popular my senior year in high school, so it brings back lots of memories. I like Green Days' "ballad" side!
• 5. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
  It was very difficult to choose between this song and Interstate Love Song, but I have more memories of this one!
• 4. Lightning Crashes by Live
  This takes a more personal meaning for me. I live in Oklahoma City, and this song was extrememly popular right after the Oklahoma City Bombing. Everytime I hear it, those memories of that day come back to me.
• 3. Walkin' On The Sun by Smashmouth
  This was my cruising song in high school. We'd jump in the car on a Friday night, blare Smashmouth and cruise till all hours of the morning- ahhh memories!
• 2. Take A Bow by Madonna
  This is one of her more underrated songs, but my favorite.
• 1. Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams
  How can this not be one of the top songs of the nineties? I never get tired of hearing this song.
