By: Rodrigo Malandre
- 10. My Iron Lung by Radiohead
A rocking song of what has become a classic band.
- 9. Crazy Mary by Pearl Jam
Amazing Cover included in the Sweet Relief compilation
- 8. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
Still find myself singing it in the shower.
- 7. Ants Marching by Dave Matthew's Band
How can he sing and play those strange chords at the same time?
- 6. Another Horsedreamer's Blues by Counting Crows
Of the erroneously unapreciated Recovering The Satellites, it's a supreme composition.
- 5. Heavy 33 by The Verlaines
Best New Zelander band. This song appears on the No Alternative compilation with unreleased songs of Smashing Pumpkins, Uncle Tupelo, Breeders, etc.
- 4. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
Amazing hit.
- 3. One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces by Ben Folds Five
How can anybody play the piano the way Ben Folds does here? This song absolutely rocks.
- 2. Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog
Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder singing together in one hell of a song.
- 1. Buttercup by Brad
Beatiful song of the most underestimated band of the 90's. Shawn Smith has an amazing voice. Check the first two albums of this Stone Gossard's side project.
The 90's produced an incredible amount of great music, only matchable bhy the 1966 - 1973 period. Examples: the Seattle scene, Helmet, Quicksand, My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, the best of Sonic Youth and R.E.M. material, Dave Matthews Band, alternative folk like Uncle Tuppelo, Buffalo Tom, the genious of Beck... should I keep on going?

- 10. Don't Speak by No Doubt
I always liked this song and i know it deserves to be in the Top ten!
- 9. Bryan Adams by Everything I Do( I Do It For You)
OOOOO need i say this is like the best love song of all time!??! This is definitely a top ten ! But i love Bryan Adams!
- 8. Born To Make You Happy by Britney Spears
This is one of my favorite songs by her. Even though im not a fan really anymore, i used to love her early stuff.. I should say first album and also second.. But what happened to her? (i guess she just changed).
- 7. Ricky Martin by Shes All I Ever Had
I'm not a huge fan of Ricky but i do love this song. The lyrics are soo sweet and i always wonder if he wrote this song about someone he really loved. It sounds so sincere.
- 6. Enrique Iglesias by Bailamos
This song is the first song i heard from him. He has made more songs and albums and i continue to buy them. Enrique has a very unique voice, yet very romantic.
- 5. Garth Brooks by The Dance
Everytime i hear this song i just almost always start to cry.. cherishing the ones you love and not regreting the sad things that can come.
- 4. Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
This song is very sad. The words are just soo from the heart.. I am sure most of everyone knows what it's about.His son and how he cannot join him yet. That is what i got from it anyways.. But yep, beautiful song indeed!
- 3. Walking After You by Foo Fighters
I never stopped liking this song after i heard it. I haven't seen anyone put this one their top ten list yet.. Very surprised. The beat is very good, and so are the words. About a guy who wants this girl but she cannot make up her mind.. But he really never gives up.
- 2. Gravity Of Love by Enigma
Although most of all Enigmas songs are great, this one really sticks to me. It has kind of a gothic romantic feel to it.
- 1. True Colors by Phil Collins
This song is very inspirational.. Its very true and if you haven't heard it then you should. Its beautiful.
If i could, i would list more . But since i can only list 10 here they are. It was hard though to break them all down.. Cuz there were soooo many great 90s songs.
