  My first concert.
• 6. Two Princes by Spin Doctors

• 10. Spice Up Your Life by The Spice Girls
  They Were Great, too!! I loved "Ginger" / Geri Halliwell.
• 9. Du Hast! by Ramstein
  I may not speak German, But this song kicked ass! Had a kick ass video with those guys with masks on. There is an English version on the CD. "You Hate Me"
• 8. Diesel Power by The Prodigy
  KICKS ASS!! Great CD!!
• 7. Digging In The Dirt by Peter Gabriel
  And, Another One!
• 6. Steam by Peter Gabriel
  Great Song!!
• 5. Where it's at by Beck
  "I got two turntables and a Microphone!"
• 4. C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang Clan
  "Cash Rules Everything Around Me- C.R.E.A.M., Get tha Money- Dolla-Dolla Bill, Y'all! Yee-aaah!!"
• 3. Ice-Ice-Baby! by Vanilla Ice
  "Word To Yo Mutha!" "Yep-Yep!"
• 2. This House (is their house) by Tracie Spencer
  Another song that radio stations refuse to play because someone wants to hear that GRUNGE-CRAP!!
• 1. Voices That Care by Voices That Care
  Why in the hell doesn't ANY radio station remember this song, and And if they did, why in the hell don't they want to play it again. Dumb asses! They could have played it for the troops during "Operation:Iraqi Freedom" and over in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. But, no-o-o-o-o! The Radio stations have to play what the "Corporate Machine" tells them to play ---no respect for the listening audience! Shut the radio stations down -- shut 'em all down UNTIL they learn to LISTEN to the AUDIENCE!!

• 10. All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow
  the jangy, dancy feel of folk-pop-rock made this one stand out in all three genres.
• 9. One by U2
  what would a list be without U2?
• 8. Doo Wop That Thing by Lauryn Hill
  One of the more refreshing tracks of the late 90s
• 7. Thank You by Dido
  though she made waves when eminem featured this track in the Stan single, the feel of the song alone made quite a stir (from the Sliding Doors soundtrack)
• 6. After The Rain Has Fallen by Sting
  one of the underrated songs from Brand New Day - though i think this one's even better than the album's title track
• 5. Wonderwall by Oasis
  one of the greatest songs of all time - great lyrics, great melody
• 4. Building A Mystery by Sarah Mclachlan
  made lilith fair such a huge hit
• 3. You Oughtta Know by Alanis Morissette
  all that angst - all under her skin makes one feel her anger
• 2. Ray Of Light by Madonna
  who would've thought that she'll bring the 20th century to a close with music that make you jump, dance, and feel refreshed all at the same time.
• 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  The groundbreaking song amidst big-haired pop from the late 80s and early 90s
