• 10. Its The End Of The World As We Know It (i Feel Fin by Rem
  I still argue its without doubt the hardest song to karaoke in music history.
• 9. Better Man by Pearl Jam
  I cant get enough of this, and i love playing the drums to it on my steering wheel, while blairing it, cruising at a safe speed of 35 mph
• 8. Impression That I Get by Bosstones
  The song that brought ska to the people, truly revolutionary. Belongs next to jackie robinson, and elanor roosevelt as the most revolutinary event/person

• 4. Till I Hear It From You by Gin Blossomstill
  Great refrain, the sound of the 90s, gin blossoms were at the top of their game

  The best "ballad" of the 90s

  No, I'm not ashamed to admit a long time ago this was the first cassette tape I ever owned, and that my favorite episode of 90210 is when Donna meets Color Me Badd! It was the best of both worlds (I wanted to be Donna Martin!)

I loved it all, except SavageGarden b/c my mom bought a copy of their record and played it in the car constantly... so it was defintely hard to pick only 10!!! Honorable mentions to "Teen Spirit", "i'm too Sexy", "Rico Suave" (hehe), Weezer, Alanis, Oasis............

• 10. Self Esteem by Offspring

• 9. Freak On A Leash by Korn
  With a hard rock appeal and a unique sound, Korn is definitly one of the coolest band of the 90's

  the video was taped in my own city. Mellow song but still my second favorite

I guess because i graduated highschool in 1998 i am kinda of biased towards 90's music. But I think the 90's was an prolific time for rock music. Bands like Nirvana and Greenday surely are the most notable
