      Politically charged Rap fused with Rock? the best combination since cerial and milk! f**k i wish they was still together.Bulls on Parade and Freedom could be on here.

      who thought Aussies could go this far? this such a good song,also Tomorrow and Freak are good aswell.
    • 8. One by Metallica
      Enter Sandman could be on there,but this song is SO much better even tho its slightly 80's.Master of Puppets should be ther aswell.
    • 7. Pretty Noose by Soundgarden
      the best known song of theirs around my area,this provides everything a Garden fan needs!simply the best.Also The Day I Tried To Live,and Jesus Christ Pose came close to going up there.
    • 6. Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots
      Scott Weiland is so controvertial i love it! he still made good music even when he was facing charges! Plush should be there,same with Creep and Days of the Week.
    • 5. Freak On A Leash by Korn
      This isnt my best song of theirs,mine is definitely Did My Time,but considering how damn popular this Korn song is,i gave thiz one tha nod.Blind is also a master of all altmetal songs.

      Tool is one of the most meaningful,complex bands out there,i cant wait till they do a new album!Sober/Aenima come close second and thirds to this song.

    • 1. Down In A Hole by Alice In Chains
      No one knows this band really,but this is such a good song!This is where Creed and Godsmack came from remember.Rooster is a MEAN song aswell.

    NWA - Straight Outta Compton/f**k Tha Police/Gangsta Gangsta/A Bitch Iz A Bitch.Too Bad these is all 80's if ther is a top 10 80's song list,put all these on,truly influential shit right there.Early Metallica is always tha best aswell.

      Protest songs = ratings
    • 9. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
      Perfect video and a great song from one of the best bands ever
    • 8. Sex and Candie by Marcy Playground
      I love this song, the chorus is great
    • 7. Unforgiven II by Metallica
      BEst song out of ReLoad
    • 6. Paradise City by Guns n' Roses
      Its the best song to close a live show
    • 5. Alive by Pearl Jam
      Great song, Eddie's vocals never fit so well
    • 4. Say it Ain't So by Weezer
      Awesome tune from an awesome band
    • 3. Song 2 by Blur
      Best 2 and a half minutes ever produced
    • 2. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
      Their best song IMO, the vocals fit in so well and the DeLeo Bros are awesome
    • 1. Lithium by Nirvana
      This is my favorite song because it's very deep and interesting from an artistic view, not so overplayed which is a plus

    Honorable mentions to: Foo Fighters, Oasis, REM, Chilli Peppers and Silverchair
    By: ColdBain
    • 10. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
      Cool song, though considering all my Smashing Pumpkins mates, this is the only song I really know of theirs, but is on my favourite top ten list. Quite a cool song, and love the video to it even/ better
    • 9. Crossroads by Bone Thugs 'N Harmony
      I love the entire song, the first time I heard it I was kinda tranfixed, it was one I heard when I was like, 10 years old, and there is this one line where one of the fellas goes "I don't wanna die..." that really hit me, so it's been an emotional favourite, *sniff*
    • 8. Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd
      I don't think it's quite '90s' but it's another favourite of mine, quite alternative, but hey, there isn't anything wrong with that
    • 7. Stripsearch by Faith No More
      Faith No More again, just a neat little song with funky techno 'bops' and so on. Love the line 'F for Fake', dunno why...I like wacky and 'open' lyrics
    • 6. Wish by Nine Inch Nails
      I was a bit caught between Starf**kers Inc, Head like a Hole and Mr. Self Destruct for this spot, but I think 'Wish' is another one of my favourites, for a long while actually. I liked this song before I even knew it was done by Nine Inch Nails.
    • 5. Can't Happen Here by Stabbing Westward
      Yet another 'album conclusion' song, this from Stabbing Westward's first album, 'Ungod'. It was good to listen to, and it seemed to change direction of where the 'music was going' up until the point where Chris Hall starts singing. I love the repetition of the line "When everytime I close my eyes..."
    • 4. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
      Nothing Else Matters was the song that really opened the door for me into Metallica's world, I of course went onto other songs like The Unforgiven and so on after hearing this, so yeah. Very moving as well.
    • 3. Epic by Faith No More
      I don't know what does it for me with this song...the guitar solo, the change in Mike Pattons voice, or the piano at the end, whatever it is, Epic has been a favourite of mine ever since a little kid.
    • 2. Waking Up Beside You by Stabbing Westward
      The last song on Stabbing Westward's third album, Darkest Days, again, it's a 'concluding album' song, which I thought was quite a stunner.
    • 1. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
      I sat through the entire Downward Spiral in discomfort, but once 'Hurt' came on and played itself out, the entire album seemed to come into focus for me, so it was really a great song that could be taken in on so many different levels. (I love The Downward Spiral now of course)

    I can say that these are my favourtie 'top ten' but the list does change and go on, these are just songs I've found I an go back to after everything and every fad I go throgh, so blah, fun fun, music is still good
