• 10. Angry All The Time by Tim McGraw
  Written by Bruce Robinson, McGraw does it nicely. If you can, check out the version Robinson does with his wife Kelly Willis...pretty good too.
• 9. Fading Away by V-roys
  This band is no longer around, but they had two great records. This song is abou the singer's sister, who died of cancer. Mostly mistaken for a break up song.
• 8. Windfall by Son Volt
  
• 7. Joey by Concrete Blonde
  
• 6. Sunken Treasure by Wilco
  Yet another great band that gets little attention. Rent the DVD, I AM TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART, for a good feel for this band.
• 5. Haywire by Jayhawks
  The most underrated band of the 90's.
• 4. Lightning Crashes by Live
  Makes me think of my daughters birth. Fantastic song.
• 3. Lost Cause by Beck
  Great acoustic song. He's an eclectic artist, getting better with time.
• 2. One Headlight by Wallflowers
  
• 1. Let The Bad Times Roll by Paul Westerberg
  Fantastic song by an aging "thrash punk". Westerberg fronted the Replacements, he still does great work.

A couple of these songs are more recent than the 90's, but they stick in my mind right now, so I posted them. FREDDY

• 10. Long December by Counting Crows
  This song is f***ing great. The counting crows are truly talented and this is a fine example of their abilities. If you have never listened to this song then you really should. IT is the BEST.
• 9. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  Eddie Vedder is AMAZING. This c.d., Ten, is one of the best c.d.s in the world. This song is so great and ver vivid.
• 8. Ironic by Alanis Morrisette
  This song is great, even though many things she describes in the song are not ironic. Yet, everyone loved this song and knew it by heart. Isn't it ironic?
• 7. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  You cannot have a list of definitive songs from the 90's without including Nirvana. That band is probably one of the best of our lives.
• 6. The Sign by Ace of Base
  One of the few things to come from Sweden, and boy are we glad they came.
• 5. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
  What can you say about this band? Wow is all I can say, and this song is one of their best.
• 4. Spiderwebs by No Doubt
  
• 3. Satellite by Dave Matthews Band
  This band is one of the greatest of our time. This was the first song I ever heard by them and I have loved them ever since.
• 2. Everybody Hurts by Rem
  This song is very touching and it has very deep ties to me.
• 1. New Age Girl by Dada
  This song is great, I love it.

I have soooooooo many other songs that I love from the 90's. A few of the other contenders for the top ten are Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hold On, Waterfalls, Bittersweet Symphony, Under the Bridge, Buddy Holly, Crash, and there are too many more to name. The 90's rocked, almost as much as the 80's.
