• 10. Breakdown by Mariah Carey
  So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
• 9. Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
  This song gives me so many memories. I remember just listening to it over and over
• 8. What I got by Sublime
  a song that tells the truth. awesome band
• 7. Again by Janet Jackson
  just a great love song.
• 6. Free Fallin by Tom Petty
  I'll admit it. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan. and this is his best in my opinion.
• 5. Clumsy by Our Lady Peace
  Such a relaxing great song.
• 4. To Be With You by Mr. Big
  One hit wonder...yes. Awesome song...oh yeah! It doesn't get much better than this.
• 3. Crazy by Aerosmith
  Personally I think Aerosmith is the greatest band ever. The hits just keep coming from them, and the Big Ones compilation is one of the best greatest hits albums ever.
• 2. Nothing Compares to You by Sinead O'Connor
  One of the best all time ballads. Everytime I hear it I just relax and close my eyes and listen to the awesome lyrics.
• 1. One by U2
  We're one but we're not the same. Well we hurt each other than we do it again. Come on folks, you gotta admit this song is a classic! I love it.

90s music has so much variety, that if I were to do this another day, my list would be quite different. rock on! peace

• 10. Miami by Will Smith
  Did I mention he was the best rapper? No, ok, well he is.
• 9. Get Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith
  He rules!!!
• 8. Invisible Man by 98 Degrees
  This is such a deep song.
• 7. Tearin Up My Heart by NSync
  The first few songs are usually not the best, but in this case it was.
• 6. Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden
  This too is a great love song. It too has sentimental value for me.
• 5. It's So Hard To Say Goodbye by Boyz II Men
  These guys have been around for a long time. This song sends cills up my spine.
• 4. Where You Are by Jessica Simpson feat. Nick Lachey
  These two make a great couple and they make great music together. This is a very romantic song.

  This is the most beautiful song. These guys are amazing!

I know there are a lot of boy bands on this list, but that is what I like. I'm not into a lot of rap or country or alternative. Pop is my kind of music. If you couldn't tell I have a thing for love songs.

• 10. Maybe by Collective Soul
  Collective Soul...! Ed Roland is a master at writing songs. I have like 10 other song by them i'd recommend..
• 9. Vanessa Williams by Save The Best For Last
  Simply the Best Love Song Ever!!
• 8. Live by All Over You
  Second Best Live song... Impressive when you look at the other Live songs I have listed..
• 7. Dreams by Cranberries
  This song and "Linger" are the Cranberries best.. I fell in love with this song when I was watching "You've Got Mail"
• 6. Good by Better Than Ezra
  These guys aren't one hit wonders if this is the only song you've heard by them... "In The Blood" "At the Stars" and "Desparatly Wanting" are also quite good.
• 5. They Stood Up For Love by Live
  Live is clearly one of the two greatest band ever... along with the Goo Goo Dolls... "Selling the Drama" "Dolphin's Cry" "Lightning Crashes" All AWESOME songs...
• 4. For The Movies by Buckcherry
  Far superior to "Lit Up" or "Dead Again" both good songs, but this one is slower and not as heavy...
• 3. Name by Goo Goo Dolls
  These guys are such great artists.. in the Genius type of sense... "Blackballoon" "Naked" and of course "Slide" could be like somewhere in 11-15 if this was a 15 song list.
• 2. Glycerine by Bush
  I might have listened to this song about 500 times in the past few years. Other good songs by Bush are "Chemicals Between Us" "Machinehead" "Come Down" "Little Things"
• 1. Shimmer by Fuel
  This is clearly the greatest song of any Decade, only challenged by my #2 song. Over all Fuel isn't that great... there other songs like "Sunburn" or "Hemorage" just don't cut it when compared to "Shimmer"

Left Out Groups like... Tonic, Our Lady Peace, No Doubt, GIN BLOSSOMS!!, Dave Matthews Band, Train, The Flys, Sixpence None the Richer... and also some solo artists...

• 10. End Of the Road by Boyz II Men
  Was absolutely massive.
• 9. Waterfalls by TLC
  From Crazy, Sexy, Cool. Hit in 96, it was brilliant!
• 8. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
  Classic.
• 7. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
  Another big hit of the year, like My Heart Will Go On, though in diff years, 1997 i think.
• 6. My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
  The first time i heard this, i knew it would be the biggest hit of the year (1998) and i was right! Of course, overplay set in and everyone became sick of it.
• 5. Wannabe by Spice Girls
  Their debut hit in July 96 and the song that shocked everyone. Still my favourite group.
• 4. Girls and Boys by Blur
  Quirky and damn happy song!
• 3. My Favourite Girl by New Kids of the Block
  Can't really choose between their songs, they had so many hits! Valentine Girl, Hangin' Tough, Please Don't Go, Cover Girl,etc They even set a billboard record for being like the 2nd band or something to have 2 hits in the US top 10!
• 2. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
  I remember buying the cassette album and memorising all the lyrics, rap and all!
• 1. U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer
  He and Vanilla Ice were the great icons in the early 90s, in 1993 i think.

MINE'S NOT IN ORDER, taht would be too difficult. Too many songs to mention, most of my choices were based on how well they did in the charts. As for songs i like, like Take That- Back for Good,Maria- Ricky Martin, Ray of Light- Madonna, Oasis songs, etc, too many to mention.
