• 10. This Used To Be My Playground by Madonna
  This song reminds me of my childhood, and it has always been one of my favourites.
• 9. I'm Just A Girl by No Doubt
  In this song Gwen Stefani just lets everyone know that she's not going to be pushed around, and that was a really great message to be sending out.
• 8. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
  They're a great band, and it's hard to pick just one song, but I think this one is their best.
• 7. Thirty Three by Smashing Pumpkins
  sad, but moving song.
• 6. Basketcase by Green Day
  Great song.

  Has a great message and the song stays with you long after you heard it.
• 4. Goodbye by The Spice Girls
  Very moving song.
• 3. Sober by Tool
  Amazing and powerful song.
• 2. How Could I? by Oleander
  Very powerful song.

  This song is one of the best ever.

• 10. Wonderwall by Oasis
  Such a good song..but I put this one at #10..cuz Liam Gallagher is a d*ck. (makes good music...but he's just a d*ck, ya know.)
• 9. Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child
  YES, very corny, I know. But I felt the need to include a song that gave the message.."you go girl"
• 8. Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
  Such a sad song...especially if you've lost a loved one..but its just so beautiful.
• 7. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
  This is my Ex-boyfriend anthem. Though parts of the song are graphic..it makes me want to go out and kick some ass.
• 6. Nothin But A G-thang by Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre
  This song is the Shizznizzle fo' rizzel...its off tha hizzel..How can you listen to this song and not feel a need to drink a 40 and role a blunt
• 5. Changes by Tupac
  Tupac,along with Biggie, in my opinion, was the best rapper ever. No one could ever match him
• 4. Enter Sandman by Metallica
  I dont care what's going on..if this song comes on I rock out. I dont care if I'm at my great grandma's tea party..I air guitar it and leap around:)
• 3. No Rain by Blind Melon
  Such a laid back, 'chill' song. I love it. Anytime I hear it I feel like running barefoot through a field.
• 2. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  The Chilli Peppers rule...they never go wrong..and this song is amazing
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  ...what's better than Nirvana? This song is def. #1 to me, because you could freak out to it at a party, or freak out to it alone in your room.

• 10. Girls And Boys by Blur
  a great blur song really does sum up 90s essex girl behaviour but a lively song in its own right. usually i find blur a bir pretentious but this song is a nice little satire told in an unpatronising way
• 9. Bedroom Dancing by Day One
  a very sexy song. soudntrack to cruel intentions
• 8. Of Montreal by Happy Yellow Bumblebee
  i love the childish storytelling way of this band, other songs include its a very starry night and penelope, i dont know it jus brings me back to childhood and how i used and stil ldo to an extent personify animals and make up little storys.
• 7. Marie by Sheryl Crow
  its on one of her albums, cant remember which one , its a kind of biography in the same vein as elenor rigb, really sweet gentle tune, nice little story
• 6. Haleluyah by Jeff Buckley
  usually im not really into lyrics , beleiving that the tune is what makes a song or not, but thissong really does hav amazing lyrics about love, not soppy in an false americanised hollywood movie way just a moving and intimate song.
• 5. A Poetic Reteling Of An Unfortunate Seduction by Bright Eyes
  again im not sure when this was made but its a beautiful song bya great band , if u like screwed up pity me teenage angst thisis the band for u.(it does get a bit much sumtiems if u listen to a whole album)
• 4. Devil Made Me Do It by Voodoo Glow Skulls
  if u like the ska punk cross over like sublime u shud like this band.
• 3. Youre Not Alone by Olive
  not usualy a huge dance music fan but htis song is really soulful and somehow the electronics accompanying it only serve to make her voice seem more emotional
• 2. Sleeping Satelites by Dunno
  not sure if this is a 90s song but think it is. real dreamy beautiful song.
• 1. Sublime by Pool Shark
  best most amazing band ever, only discovered them a few weeks ago and cna't beleive how i coped without them. this song is predicts bradleys demise due to his drug addiction. the best version is the live one if u want to download it.with sublime ppl seem to only remember the hits like daterape so please do remember that much of the best stuff was bootlegs i suggest gin and juice party keg girls and great escape which is really beautiful. what made this band so special is the way it felt liek they were playing to make u happy , the playing for a beer attitude , even wen they made it big , there aim was still just to have fun , the songs were good but u feel like there th type of guys u cud hava beer with an they dont patronise there audience in the way that eminem does(tho i like his music well enuf) bands nowerdays try to talk bout their own deep emotionns but miss out on connecting with the audience and making music a collective experience.

i really am worried by the amount of trash that many people have on their list , britney et al. there is so much good music out there, i mean fine hav one song like that one hte list but to ppl who hav a list replete wid trash ur missing out bigtiem on proper music. its getting even worse nowerdays the amount of trash available. i m only 18 but the 90s were a good period for music generally , at least teh early mid part , if anyone agrees wid me email me cpadelis@homail.com
