    • 10. Who Feels Love? by Oasis
      okay, i know -one hit wonder- but the first time i heard this song i couldn't get it out of my head for days, and i still love it.
    • 9. Extraordinary by Better Than Ezra
      she took the decade by storm with her refreshingly brutal music.
    • 8. Green Eyes by Coldplay
      definitly the most defining band of the 90's for me---my favorite.
    • 7. Romeo And Juliet by Dire Straights
      unequivocally their most popular song. honorable mention: 'plush'.
    • 6. Butterfly by Weezer
      this song just holds so many memories--great song, gifted band.
    • 5. Anna Begins by Counting Crows
      one of the best bands/songs of the decade.
    • 4. Fortunate Fool by Jack Johnson
      a magnificently crafted song, wish there were more like it.
    • 3. A Plain Morning by Dashboard Confessional
      just a chillingly perfect song.
    • 2. Tripping Billies by Dave Matthews Band

    • 10. Missing by Everything But the Girl
      Hypnotic vocals, soothing music and heartfelt lyrics. Had to be in the Top 10.
    • 9. Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry
      Another catchy song that probably defines 90s pop/rock pretty well. One of the most memorable guitar riffs around.
    • 8. Children by Robert Miles
      A wonderfully soothing piece of musical display. The one song that got me into the trance/dance scene.
    • 7. Counting Blue Cars by Dishwalla
      Great, catchy song from a relatively unheard-of band. Their other songs are pretty good too.
    • 6. Turn the Page by Metallica
      This is simply an amazing cover of the classic song by Bob Seger. If only we could hear more like this from Metallica.
    • 5. Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden
      I'm not really into love songs by high pitched guys, but this song really struck a cord in me. Go figure.
    • 4. Zombie by The Cranberries
      Simply haunting performance here by a yet another great Irish band.
    • 3. With Arms Wide Open by Creed
      This was a soaring piece and a breath of fresh air into the alt. rock scene.
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Arguable the best rock song of the decade (if not more). Mr. Cobain will always be remembered for this masterpiece performance in rock.
    • 1. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
      An incredibly powerful song that will truly stand the test of time. Features great vocals and one of the most memorable minute and half of music towards the end.

    There are numerous other great songs that I've failed to iclude. Titles that are worth a mention are "Losing My Religion" by REM, "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia, some other songs by Goo Goo Dolls, etc. The 90s was a good time for music indeed.

    • 2. Headstrong by Trapt
      It's great when you're kinda low and need a "pick-me-up" to bang your head to.
    • 1. Crash by Dave Matthews Band
      Perfect for almost any moment, except when you're looking for some good rage music for when your pissed

    I love Dave Matthews, my boyfriend would have put Soil (Halo) in there but there wasn't any more room. We like other bands like Kid Rock, Nirvana (We love Kurt), Disturbed, Marylin Manson, Guns-n-Roses, Led Zepplin, Concrete Blonde, Nickel Back, and more, and more, and more...
