  "Some cheap wine, cigarettes, this place is always such a mess. Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn." Its too good I loved the first time i heard it and ever since.
• 9. The Freshman by The Verve Pipe

  Although at sometime hard to understand this song is one that gets me everytime.
• 6. Better Man by Pearl Jam
  Their best song by far.
• 5. Another Lonely Day by Ben Harper

• 4. Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
  Awesome lyrics and this is one of those songs you can't get out of your head.
• 3. Good Riddance by Green Day
  This song has way more meaning than the prom song it turned out to be.
• 2. Wonderwall by Oasis
  This song will never get old with vocals like that.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Great song, great band, beggining of a genre.

There were way to many great songs in the ninetys to fit them into a list of ten so I should have put some GNR on there but oh well

• 10. Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover by Sophie Hawkins
  "Damn I wish I was your lover. I'll rock you till the daylight comes. Make sure you are smiling and warm. I am everything. Tonight I'll be your mother. I will do such things to ease your pain. Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed."
• 9. What's UP by 4 Non Blonds
  "...and I try, oh my god do I try. I try all the time, in this institution And I pray, oh my god do I pray. I pray every single day for a revolution. And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed. Just to get it all out what's in my head.
• 8. Omaha by The Counting Crows
  "Omaha. Somewhere in middle America. Get right to the heart of matters. It's the heart that matters more. I think you better turn your ticket in And get your money back at the door."
• 7. Serve the Servants by Nirvana
  "Self appointed judges judge more than they have sold"....."I just want you to know that I don't hate you anymore. There's nothing I can say, that I haven't thought before."
• 6. Whipping by Pearl Jam
  Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached. Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back. Why must we trust all these rusted rails? They don't want no change, we already have...Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved! Ohh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough. I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too..."
• 5. I alone by White Discussion
  "...and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth and the clock is finally dead. I'll look at you, you'll look at me and we'll cry a lot, but this will be what we said: This will be what we said. Look where all this talking got us, baby."
• 4. Organ Grinder by Marilyn Manson
  "I'm the face of shit and piss and sugar. I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey. What I want, what I want is just your children. I hate what i have become to escape what I hated being. Here is my real head. Here is my real head. I wear this f**king mask because you cannot handle me. Here is my real head!"
• 3. Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine
  "Fight the war, f**k the norm. Now I got no patience. So sick of complacence. With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E. Mind of a revolutionary. So clear the lane, the finger to the land of the chains. What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy."
• 2. On a Plain by Nirvana
  "I'll start this off without any words. I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled. Love myself better than you. I know it's wrong, so what should I do? The finest day that I ever had was when I learned to cry on command."
• 1. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
  "I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair. Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair"....

The '90s. Where to begin? So much good music and so much crap! Never has there been such a contrast. Can anyone actually consider N'SYNK, Brittney Spears, Shania Twain, Backstreet Boys, etc... musicians? The sad answer to this question is "yes", which is compellingly mind-boggling. With so many artists to choose from, I repeatedly see these names on a '90s Top Ten list. This is truly sad. I know you've been spoon fed your art, but it's time to think for yourself children.

• 10. Beck by Loser
  Apathetic theme song for many Gen-Xers and teens of the early 90's
• 9. Crazy by Aerosmith
  These guys have been around for thirty years, but they're still going strong. Great Video with Alicia Silverstone and frontman Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv.
• 8. Red Hot Chilli Peppers by Under the Bridge
  
• 7. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
  Epic Rock song spanning nearly 9 minutes, great Slash guitar solo at the end.
• 6. Crash into Me by Dave Matthews Band
  Nice Mix of Jazz and Rock that
• 5. End of the Road by Boyz 2 Men
  Biggest R&B tune in the 90's, biggest "boy band" of the decade and pop group for most of the nineties
• 4. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  Another important alternative song from a band that was more acclaimed than Nirvana (partly due to Cobain's tragic suicide) that has helped inspire other rock bands for years to come.
• 3. Nothing but a G-Thang by Snoop Doggy Dog and Dr. Dre
  Helped put rap music into the mainstream
• 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Biggest Hit from the Alternative Scene
• 1. One by U2
  This post can apply to most songs by this Irish group, whihc has been the most consistently successful group of the 90's and the 80's. "One" stands out for its moving lyrics and musicality.

I'm sure alot of people would say I missed out on alot of groups. Alot of the pop/rock/rap stuff that became big in 1999 and on like Britney Spears, Eminem, Creed, Limp Bizkit, whatever
