• 10. Alive by Pearl Jam
  Pearl Jam strikes one more time. This song features a great guitar solo at the end of the song.
• 9. Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains
  I particularly like the unplugged version.
• 8. Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam
  It's a shame that this song wasn't allowed on the Ten album due to it's similarity to a Jimi Hendrix song. If it would have made it, Ten would have been that much better.
• 7. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
  Plush heads one of the best albums of the nineties in Core.
• 6. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
  Disarm has a unique sound and is one of the all time greats. My favorite Smashing Pumkins song.
• 5. Self-Esteem by The Offspring
  This is a great song and Smash is a good album. I wish that Offspring would have kept the grunge sound.
• 4. Machinehead by Bush
  I think that this song is Bush's masterpiece along with Glycerine. By the way I think that sixteen stone is one of the most underrated albums of the nineties.
• 3. Man in the Box by Alice in Chains
  Another classic Grunge song. Great vocals and music from the late Layne Staley.
• 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  One of the most emotional songs of all time. And also has the most disturbing and in my opinion best video of all time.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  This song changed the face of Music virtually overnight! The best song of the nineties, period.

I think that the nineties, at least the early nineties, rival the seventies as one of the greatest era of music ever.

  One of my top favorite songs, awesome, by the guy that is somehow related to Rob zombie (no one still knows what it is really...)
• 9. Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine
  Awesome song by an awesome band. Deffinately worth a listen.

  Kid Rock did a few good songs, but this was probably the best one of all, and his first hit.
• 6. Faith by Limp Bizkit
  A remake of a classic song, this one is a top favorite of mine.

• 3. Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dogs
  "I'm going hungry" Bah. Just put it here because I love to annoy people by singing it. LOL
• 2. Plowed (Say a Prayer for me) by Sponge
  Of Empire Records fame, this song is that one song no one knows the name of or the band, took a little research, but easily found. God, I have no life. "Say a prayer for me"
• 1. Glycerine by Bush
  "Don't let the days go by... Glycerine" God, do I love this song. Kinda me and my girls song... yeah. Love ya babe.

Notable mention: Goo Goo Dolls Iris. Beautiful song. Nuff said.

• 10. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  I used to party under the bridge...just out of town. I don't see any of those people anymore. "Under the bridge downtown, forgot about my love."

  Actual words from the letters of a stalker wanting to kill Sarah if she wouldn't love him! That's crazy *ss sh%t. "I will be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away. And after I kiss away the tears, just close your eyes, dear." Sends shivers down my spine.

  This song was sang to me by a very good friend of mine. It was also the song playing on the radio when his uncle called to tell me that he had been in a car accident. He didn't make it. "There's a calm surrender, through the rush of day."

• 10. The Last Drink by The Odds
  What ever happened to this band??? They were pretty popular for a while there??? Dunno...but they left us with some great songs. This just being one of them.
• 9. Today I Hate Everyone by The Killjoys
  The title is self explanitory. It's a fabulous song. They know us so well!!
• 8. Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane
  Great song...nice guy!
• 7. Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip
  This songs is not okay!!! What happened to this man is apalling!!! The Canadian judicial system should have been very ashamed!!! But what a well written song!! Makes you think.
• 6. Fifty Mission Cap by The Tragically Hip
  This whole album has a whole lot of songs that reflect on actual events. All very well written. This one's about the Toronro Maple Leafs player that disappeared in the 50's. "The last goal he scored won the Leafs the cup, they didn't win another...the year he was discovered."
• 5. Friend Of Mine by Treblecharger
  "I'll make no claim on your design. I will not call you a friend of mine." Full of bitter lines and great beats.
• 4. 4am by Our Lady Peace
  Amazing. Brings a tear to my eye. Well written, Raine.
• 3. New Orleans Is Sinking by The Tragically Hip
  Affectionately known as "Trag" to us Canadians, they are probably one of the very best and this is one of the very best songs EVER!!!
• 2. Run & Hide by The Watchmen
  If you dig good rockin' tunes...this band is for you.
• 1. Old Apartment by Barenaked Ladies
  Funny, funny, funny. What a great Canadian band!!!

I am Canadian and also a HUGE fan of Canadian music. Not that I have anything against musicians from anywhere else in the world, I just feel a strong sense of patriotic pride whenever I hear a good song by a Canadian artist. And nowadays, you can't turn on the radio, muchmusic, or MTV without hearing something Canadian!!! Way to go Avril, Sum 41, Shania, Barenaked Ladies, Nickelback, Lillix, etc. And, look out world...Canadians aren't sitting back and listening to the music anymore...they're making it!!!!!
