      One of the most-played songs of 1990 - still a good listen after almost 14 years...
    • 9. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
      Yes, this was 1991! Honorable mention to ANY song from Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik album.
    • 8. Losing My Religion by REM
      Automatic For the People - possibly the best album released in 1992. Honorable mention to Barenaked Ladies' Gordon album (absolutely fantastic).
    • 7. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      For me, this song is the most memorable from the In Utero album. Honorable mention to the Pumpkins' Mayonaise (Siamese Dream) and Radiohead's Creep (Pablo Honey).
    • 6. Mr. Jones by Couting Crows
      A fun song to listen to. Honorable mention to Barenaked Ladies' Jane (Maybe You Should Drive).

      Mellon Collie was one of the best, if not the best, Pumpkins releases. Honorable mention to Skee Lo's I Wish (I Wish), Oasis' Wonderwall (What's the Story) and Radiohead's High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees (fantastic!), Just, and Black Star (all from The Bends).
    • 4. Glycerine by Bush
      Lots of good songs from 1996, but this one sticks in my head when I think of this year for some reason.
    • 3. ANY song from OK Computer by Radiohead
      From beginning to end, this album is fantastic. Airbag, Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Exit Music, Let Down, Karma Police, Fitter/Happier, Electioneering, Climbing Up the Walls, No Surprises, Lucky, The Tourist. One of the few CD's that I can listen to without skipping tracks. Honorable mention to Green Day's Time of Your Life (Nimrod).
    • 2. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      Again, lots of good songs from 1998. Honorable mention to the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris (Dizzy Up the Girl) and Barenaked Ladies' One Week (Stunt).
    • 1. Smooth by Santana (feat. Rob Thomas)
      Great song to listen to whilst driving. Honorable mention to Smash Mouth's All Star (Astro Lounge) and Everlast's What It's Like (Whitey Ford Sings the Blues).
