It's beautiful in it's cutting simplicity and the ingenuity of the choice of lyrics.
I know I've forgotten many songs, particulary from the earlier 90s, but ten is a v. rigid amount to stick to!
By: Liz
- 10. My name is by Eminem
How can you disagree with this one? Not only is he the biggest white rapper ever, he totally lets himself go with his music...no sugar coating for anyone. This song gave the finger to everything Eminem hates about the world. Wouldn't we all just love to do that sometimes? (maybe not in as valgur a way as he did, but you know what I mean.)
- 9. Mo Money, Mo Problems by Puff Daddy
Puffy started out w/ this song and that's exactly when the hype began for the super expensive brand names began. He through his money in the faces of the public sportin Gucci and Prada and makin a statement. His motto: If you got it, flaunt it...if you don't got it, it's all good too.
- 8. Basketcase by Green Day
They didn't sell out, we just want to believe they did. Green Day was the first punk band to make it as far as Green Day...the fans who followed them from their start weren't too happy to see them on the cover of magazines and playing gigs on MTV but the boys sure as hell didn't give up on their roots. They're still as hardcore punk rocker as they were when they played in their garages 10 years ago.
- 7. Heal the World by Michael Jackson
The man might be a bit off the wall but he is genious. He knows how to keep up with the times. Every song he puts out there fits in with the musical society.
- 6. More than a women by Aaliyah
This girl could sing, dance, write...everything that the music world was demanding at the time. She was bound to be one of the most talented r&b artists ever.
- 5. OOPS! I did it again by Britney Spears
I'm not a huge fan of this girl but she put the sex in pop music. She's an icon in the music world and her look has turned more than a few heads her way. Britney Spears is the reason for the pop phenomenon.
- 4. Wide Open Spaces by Dixie Chicks
Not everyone may like them, but these chicks have been one of the key factors in country-turn-pop music. THey may not write their own music or lyrics but they are the poster girls for all country music nowadays.
- 3. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
They've been through so much as a band and it's all been in plain view of the public eye. Society was with them every step of the way and we're still with them now. Under the Bridge is a song that everyone can relate to...whoever listens to it gets lost in the lyrics and melody. It's one of the most spectacular songs ever written.
- 2. Lauryn Hill by Doo Wop (That Thing)
Her soul and meaning in all of the songs she writes and performs is remarkable. She's a fantastic artist with an extremely powerful voice and even more powerful lyrics.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
I have to agree with the popular vote on this one. It's a breakthrough song which paved the way for so many other artists today.
