• 10. No Diggity by Blackstreet
  Just a great song. Another Dre Collaboration.
• 9. Better Man by Pearl Jam
  Here I was stuck with more choices: which Pearl Jam do I pick? (Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, etc.) --this song is definetly the most catchy.
• 8. Enter Sandman by Metallica
  Black Album. One of the greatest albums of all time. Enter Sandman -- the lead song on the album and the one that defined metal.
• 7. November Rain by Guns n Roses
  Great tune, great music video -- at the peak of the the rock generation of the 90's.
• 6. Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith
  This was a tough choice -- Crazy, Cryin, etc.... Janie's Got a Gun's just a great tune: one of my all time fav's.
• 5. Lightning Crashes by Live
  Yeah ... this band has definetly fell off. But this song hit the heart harder than any other song in the 90s.
• 4. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  take me to the place I love
• 3. Killing Me Softly by The Fugees
  Perhaps the greatest crew of the 90s. This song hit the airwaves (played a lot) and it never got old.
• 2. Gin n Juice by Dr. Dre
  Dre. The innovator. I remember listening to "The Chronic" soooooooo much .... this is the song that put hip hop into the mainstream.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  This song is the definitive song of the the 90s ... Nirvana put rock back on the map.

I'm not gonna lie -- this is the definitive list.

• 10. Loser by Beck
  Nobody could understand the lyrics of the chorus, but they loved it anyway.
• 9. Sneaker Pimps by 6 Underground
  This song makes people want to have sex.
• 8. Everlong by Foo Fighters
  I can't say anything about this one. Just listen to it.
• 7. Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
  This has produced more car accidents due to air guitar than any other song.
• 6. Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins
  "Who wants honey? As long as there's some money." Billy Corgan sums up the music industry better than anyone ever has.
• 5. Santa Monica by Everclear
  Don't know why I like it so much, but I do. Watch the world die.
• 4. Crush by Dave Matthews Band
  One of my favorite bands, with more musical talent than the entire "Top 40" combined at any given time. There are so many great songs, including Ants Marching, Crash into Me and Tripping Billies. I chose Crush because whether live with the whole band, or done acoustically with Tim Reynolds, this song sounds so good.
• 3. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  Amazing song musically, but also one that helped bring the Chilis into the spotlight. Also some of the best bass in the 90's.
• 2. Even Flow by Pearl Jam
  Great song to play loud.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nivana
  Huge influence on the rest of the decade. Obviously th "best" song of the decade is pretty subjective, so I have not just chosen a song that I like, but one that is hard to dispute as being popular, influential and meaningfull.

• 10. Waterfalls by TLC
  OK, this HAS to be on here...I remember when it was the biggest deal ever, everyone thought it was the greatest song ever.
• 9. What is Love by Haddaway
  Two words: Butabi Brothers. This song made NO sense to me whatsoever...but it still had a good beat!
• 8. Ironic by Alanis Morrissette
  How could this not be on here...everybody in 5th grade knew all the words!

  How could I NOT put this one here?!
• 5. The Impression That I Get by Mighty Mighty Bosstones
  hmmmm...I seem to be big on songs from 95, 96, and 97...but that's when music was all good to me! This song really reminds me of the big ska movement then...goood times, goooood times.
• 4. Mo Money Mo Problems by Puff Daddy and the Family
  Way back when P. Diddy was still Puffy...reminds me of all the parties/dances in my area from 1997-2000...
• 3. Where It's At by Beck
  I STILL love this song, especially the video. I had a huge crush on him in 6th grade (hee hee!)

  SO many memories of fourth grade. Every girl in my class/Girl Scout troop knew all the words to that song, and some even had the album (I was one of them!)
• 1. Barbie Girl by Aqua
  This was THE song when I was in middle school...I still know all the words, six years later...hee hee!

These aren't in any particular order-order I thought of them, I guess, but no real ranking

• 10. Step Back In Time by Kylie Minogue
  Rather cheesy song from the Pop Princess, pure 90's!!
• 9. Shola Ama by You Might Need Somebody
  Cover of Randy Crawford's song, excellent vocals.
• 8. Janet Jackon by Best Things In Life Are Free
  I think this is 90's (just). Dancy duet with Luther Vandross.
• 7. Prodigy by No Good
  Not normally into heavy music, but the Prodigy were cult in the 90's, so have to be mentioned I think.
• 6. Eurythmics by Revival
  1991 - A good 'pick me up' tune from a great band.

  Swedish band quite bit in Europe in the early 90's

  A bit country I know, but still a great tune.
• 3. Sleeping Sattelites by Tasmin Archer
  A British artist, not much exposure elsewhere, but still a top 10 to me.
• 2. Ironic by Alanis Morrissette
  From Alanis' debut album 'Jagged Little Pill.'
• 1. You Got The Love by The Source Ft. Candi Staton
  To me this is a classic 90's tune, it has been remixed more times than any song I know.
