What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?


    By: Citizengreen
    • 10. Bulls On Parade by Rage Against The Machine
      This song became the anthem of the mid-90's, thus propulsing "Evil Empire" to be one of the top selling CD's in the decade!!
    • 9. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
      What can i say about Radiohead in general?....THEY ROCK!!
    • 8. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
      Nine Inch Nails spun controversy everywhere with their lyrics, and questionably insane videos. And this single, is one of the most recognizable songs ever!!
    • 7. Tomorrow by Silverchair
      "Frogstomp" is still an awesome CD to listen to, and definitely one of the best of the 90's. Never did i think 3 17 year olds could rock like that!!
    • 6. Faith by Limp Bizkit
      It was awesome when it came out...too bad they couldnt keep the energy and raw feel of "Three Dollar Bill Yall."
    • 5. Homebrew by 311
      311 is hands down one of the best concerts you can possibly attend, and the fact that the guys keep it down to earth with their grassroots, is badass. Keep it real til the end!!
    • 4. F**k Da Police by Ice Cube
      I hate 'em........stay away from my stash!
    • 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Though i dont like the song anymore, (I did the first 1,500 times i heard it) You cant deny the impact the single had on music.
    • 2. Loser by Beck
      When i first heard this song, i felt a new type of music was being born. Beck composes music with scratching, samples, and any type of percussion, or instrument you can think of!.....2 turntables and a microphone is all you need baby!
    • 1. Blind by Korn
      KoRn brought a whole new underground genre to the scene, which became a METAL revolution in the late 90's, early 2-thou's.

    My list isnt really in any order, those are just the 10 artists i beleive affected the 90's the most. So many more Artists id love to add, but the list is only 10 slots!! CRAP!!
