    • 2. Longday by Matchbox 20

    • 1. Machine Head by Bush
      I just love Gavin...He's so dreamy! 16 Stone is really only GREAT album though...

    I just want to say, that I hate Nirvana, and I understand that 'ol Kurt did wonders for the music scene of the 90's, but was he that great? I don't think so. Why is Nirvana on everyone's list? The only good thing that came from Nirvana was Dave Grohl!

    I don't know about order or if I'm missing any songs(although Black has got to be up there at the very top), but these songs were definitely some of the best of the 90's...although most of the good 90's songs were from the first half of the decade and many other Pearl Jam songs could have easily made the list (Alive, Jeremy, Evenflow, Daughter, Corduroy, etc.)
