    By: Marcelo Oliveira
    • 10. Deeper and Deeper by Madonna (1992)
      Madonna estava com o mundo aos seus p�s com Erotica. A�, veio o Deeper and Deepr e sair para a noite mudou seu contexto...
    • 9. Show Me Love by Robin S (1994)
      Deusa que durou apenas um curto per�odo, Robin S marcou forte presen�a com esta m�sica. Pena n ter folego para mais.
    • 8. Missing by Everything But The Girl (1994)
      Tracy Thorn e Ben Watts s�o chics at� dizer chega. Com esta can��o, eles dominaram todas as pistas do mundo e a m�sica virou um hino para os clubers em geral. � um cl�ssico!
    • 7. Connected by Stereo MC's (1993)
      A m�sica eletr�nica j� estava dominando o mundo quando esta m�sica surgiu para dar aquela pimenta que o ritmo estava precisando.
    • 6. I'm too Sexy by Right Said Fred (1992)
      As duas barbies tomaram o mundo com esta m�sica sexy, sacana e de batida marcante. Sucesso de um �nico disco, mas que vale a pena ouvir sempre em toda pista nost�lgica.
    • 5. Erotica by Madonna (1992)
      O furac�o loiro dava uma guinada na sua carreira, provando que era ousada e muito abusada e n�o tinha para ningu�m. Era o disco, o clipe, o livro, o show... A d�cada s� teve uma deusa imbat�vel: Madonna!
    • 4. Freedom 90 by George Michael (1990)
      O grego mais poderoso da ind�stria musical iniciou a d�cada com um disco que nem tinha nenhuma foto sua, pois estava brigando com sua gravadora Sony e s� fez o disco para cumprir o contrato. O clipe da m�sica contava com todas as top models do momento, como Cindy Crawford, Naomy Campbell, Christie Turlington, Linda Evangelista e Tattiana Patitz. Foi seu grande momento na d�cada.
    • 3. The Power by Snap! (1990)
      Quando Martha Walsh grita "I Got The Power", ela estava declarando que a d�cada seria das cantoras com vozes poderosas nas pistas de dan�a gays de todo o mundo! O tempo provou que ela estava mais do que certa!

      O conceito club estava chegando com este hino das pistas dos 90's!

    • 10. Can't by Thinkof
      A #10 cause my head hurts and i'm tired. 'nite
    • 9. Jerry Was a Race Car Driver by Primus
      See below ...
    • 8. Tommy the Cat by Primus
      Primus is just cool.
    • 7. Sabotage by Beastie Boys
      Awesome music video - awesome song.
    • 6. Eyeless by Slipknot
      Just the band in general seemed to reshape ideas and sounds
    • 5. New Noise by Refused
      Shaping punk to come ...
    • 4. She's White by The Wildbunch
      See below ...
    • 3. Song 2 by Blur
      I get pulled over a lot to this song ...
    • 2. Dance Commander by The Wildbunch
      See below ...
    • 1. The Ballade of MC Sucka DJ by The Wildbunch
      Greatest song ever. Even if no one knew who were they were ... or still don't (now known as Electric Six).

    The 90's sucked. Real music was lacking until the latter part of the decade. But i guess it was just one of those stages in music history that helped better music for the future.

    • 10. Tonic by If You Could Only See
      I love this song. It is so beautiful with such simplicity. We should all play this at one time or another for our significant other.
    • 9. Wanabe by Spice Girls
      Yes yes yes...I know. I used to listen to this back in the day, okay 5th grade. I loved it, you loved it, now we all hate it.
    • 8. Possesion by Sarah McLaughlin (sp?)
      Again, one word. Intense.
    • 7. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
      Smooth, sexual, and oh so naughty. This song is so right, yet so wrong. The music is clamning while the vocals are almost hypnotic. *note, the lyrics are not to shabby either*
    • 6. Flagpole Sitter by Harvey Danger
      Amazing, insane, and playfull. This song express's how all of us feel at one time or another.
    • 5. I Would Die For You by Garbage
      One word. Intense.
    • 4. Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage
      Persoanly...this song changed my life. Much like the three listed above. It is dark, gloomy, and expres's who I am and who many people are. Kudo's to Shirly Manson for telling it like it is.
    • 3. He's My Thing by Babes In Toyland
      Ah, we could not forget the riot girrl era could we? Babes in Toyland was one of the most famous out of this trend and "He's My Thing" in my opion is one of their best songs. Loud, angry, and deeply personal it still maintains the "Fuck you bitch" aura.
    • 2. Violet by Hole
      Again, out of the grunge era. While most people look over Courtny Love's music due to the controversy over Kurt's death, she is amazing. The music is poetic, at times even more so then Nirvanas. It is well put together and then a thrashing guitar rift will come to assult your ears. Violet in my opinion is one of the best songs Hole ever released.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Although it is the most 'mainstream' *note, not by the bands choice* this is my fav. all time song. It changed a generation and showed the world "Hi, we want to die you stupid facist pigs, now change your ways." Over all...this is one of the top songs ever in my opinion.

    Sorry for my personal opinions, and misspelling throughout. At the time of writing this I was up for about...well close to twenty-four hours. I was just to lazy to do spellcheck. Fuck you, love you, hate you. Peace out people.

    • 10. Days Of The Pheonix by Afi

      The solo is amazing and they rock supreme.
    • 3. Everlong by Foo Fighters
      This is what broke them into the leaders of rock today, GW
    • 2. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      need i say a thing!
    • 1. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
      this is the most underated song of all came out when mettalica and nirvana peaked and competed with Aerosmith and guns n roses but is a gem. and im an aussie!

    i have some points to make 1, Nirvana dont deserve to be there in my opinion, overall they were good but i dont think a particular song stood out. 2. im aussie and dont have one aussie band there. how sad :)
