      Smells Like Teen Spirit made a bigger impact but this is seriously catchy. One listen and you'll be singing and nodding your head.

    • 10. Love Walked In by Thunder
      Fantastic ballad - it was a close run thing with the levellers, mesh, stereophonics, blur, ocean colour scene and many more also deserving to be here
    • 9. Finished Symphony by Hybrid
      the best trance/electronic group purely because they are so original
    • 8. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Defining a generation - it couldnt really be left out
    • 7. What Is Love by Haddaway
      there are so many great early 90's dance/techno tracks - any of which could have been listed here - but this is my fav
    • 6. Waking Up by Elastica
      along with Connection (remember the controversy with 70's/80's group wire) elastica produced some fantastic songs on their first album....
    • 5. Ready To Go by Republica
      just plain great!
    • 4. Whatever by Oasis
      Well there had to be an oasis song in it somewhere - and this had to be the best
    • 3. Right Here, Right Now by Fat Boy Slim
      The dance song of the decade..
    • 2. Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage
      dont you just love shirley...
    • 1. Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode
      My personal fav - and by far their best song

    So many great songs came out - yet so few of the really great defining songs ever made it into the top ten let alone to no. 1 - it seems cheese rules above all else - which is a shame for the people who really appreciate what music is all about...
