By: Courtney
- 10. Come as You Are by Nirvana
Nirvana still rocks!

I love them so much I had to name them again.
- 8. Shimmer by Fuel
I love Fuel, they haven't done anything spectacular lately but this song rocks
- 7. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Another heart wrencher! Goo Goo Dolls will never live up to it, and i refuse to call them sell outs no matter what anyone else says
- 6. The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe
Classic song, heartwrencher, we've all felt this way
- 5. Loser by Beck
Totally a kick butt song, its definitly Beck's best!
- 4. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!
- 3. Everybody Hurts by REM
Who doesnt love this song? REM ROCKS!!!
- 2. Good Riddance by Green Day
Awesome, brilliant, I love it.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
This song rocks with out a doubt, I'll never get sick of it. In years to come it will be a song that even our kids love.
All of my songs have already been mentioned in other lists, but that just makes them even greater! I left out a lot of songs and bands, but they still have a place in my own personal top 20 list! The 90s rocked! I already miss them, this played out 21st century music will never match these.

Those probably arent in a good order.. but uhh.. they are good songs from the nineties that were pretty popular.
By: Jodi
- 10. 100% by Sonic Youth
This is a great song. Kim is an amazing singer and it makes me sad that whenever I talk to people about them they never know who they are.
- 9. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I used to watch this video when I was 4 it was the only rock song I would admit to liking because I thought rock music was just for boys.
- 8. Rooster by Alice in Chains
This is a great song, I love Layne's voice and Jerry is one of the best players ever
- 7. Gone Away by Offspring
At first I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly so I looked up the lyrics and it has the best lyrics ever.
- 6. Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters
This song has such a great sound and whenever I hear it I think of the video and it always makes me laugh
- 5. Come As You Are by Nirvana
I love this song because it makes me feel like who gives a damn what every one else thinks of you "come as you are" and Kurt won't judge you
- 4. Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace
I'm 15 and when this song came out I was around 9 I loved this song even though I had absolutly no clue what he was saying. I do now and I love it even more.
- 3. Violet by Hole
I love Hole despite the negative things a lot of people say about them. If you listen to the words she says: the sky was made of amethyst and all the stars look just like little fish. Kurt was born in February and his birthstone is amethyst and his sign was pisces which is a fish.
- 2. Man in a Box by Alice in Chains
This is my favorite Alice in Chains song, I love them and the way they sound. their harmonies are amazing.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
I know a lot of people had this song on their lists, but doesn't that tell you that it truly was the best song of the 90's
Other great 90's bands REM (I just saw them in concert and they were amazing), Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, and Toadies
By: George Angelico
- 10. Funky Monks by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
this song puts the funk back into funk-a-licious
- 9. Say It Aint So by Weezer
Emo pop using keith richards style guitar makes one hell of a good song
- 8. Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Even though i would rather swallow poison than know James Hetfield personally, This song rules from start to finish
- 7. Come As You Are by Nirvana
plugged or unplugged its still an amazing song
- 6. Crash by Dave Matthews Band
The greatest song of one of the greatest songwriters of all time
- 5. Good Riddance by Green Day
even punk has a sentimental side
- 4. Creep by Radiohead
Nirvana's Style + Thom Yorke and the Boys= Incredibly Amazing
- 3. Californication by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Awesome Awesome Awesome
- 2. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
The Stairway to Heaven of this era
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

ITs not a great list and its subject to change in my head very easily
By: Tasha

Why did they ever break up...Cocoa cut her nails so what was the problem?

- 10. Ash by A Life Less Ordinary
It's all I hope for.
- 9. Oasis by Wonderwall
For a brief couple of weeks, they really were bigger than The Beatles.
- 8. Nightswimming by REM
Makes me nostalgic for memories I never had.
- 7. When I Argue I See Shapes by Idlewild
It's not often that you can tell a song is a classic anthem after 5 seconds. This one is.
- 6. No Distance Left to Run by Blur
Everything you never want to say to the one you loved.
- 5. Soma by Smashing Pumpkins
This is what a dream sounds like.
- 4. Here Comes the Fat Controller by Catherine Wheel
The most majestic, life-affirming song on the greatest lost album of the 90s, Adam & Eve.
- 3. Drain You by Nirvana
Teen Spirit was bigger, but this was Kurt's melodic peak.
- 2. Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley
Without this man, there is no post-Pablo Radiohead, no Travis, no Coldplay.
- 1. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
So delicate, yet powerful at the same time. As if it would break if you listen too hard.
There are many, many, many songs that deserve inclusion in this list. It's difficult to encapsulate 10 years of devotion to the sounds and words I never thought to say into ten selections. I only hope I die before I start to forget these songs and how they defined my existence for those all-too-brief years.

- 10. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
One of Nirvana's most overplayed songs, but nonetheless, a classic.
- 9. Sliver by Nirvana
Great song off of Bleach.
- 8. In Bloom by Nirvana
More great Nirvana.
- 7. Where Did You Sleep Last Night? by Nirvana
I love this song on Unplugged. Leadbelly cover.
- 6. Something In The Way by Nirvana
Another slow one, another personal favorite.
- 5. Polly by Nirvana
A nice slow Nirvana song. A personal favorite.
- 4. About A Girl by Nirvana
A great song, on both Bleach and Unplugged.
- 3. Rape Me by Nirvana
Another great song off of In Utero.
- 2. Dumb by Nirvana
Another great Nirvana song. What can I say?
- 1. Lithium by Nirvana
My favorite Nirvana song.
As you can see, I am a HUGE Nirvana fan. I honestly can hardly pick between any of their songs, so I just typed the songs as they came off the top of my head. Any and all Nirvana songs are good. Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl are 3 of the best rock performers that ever lived.

- 9. This Generation by Roachford
"This generation... gonna walk with their heads held high. This generation, gonna bring a tear to the old man's eye..." Ironic but hopeful.
- 8. Hyperballad by Bjork
"Its early morning, no-one is awake/ I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off/ I listen to the sounds they make on their way down...I follow with my eyes till they crash/ I imagine what my body would sound like, slamming against those rocks/ And when it lands, will my eyes be closed or open??" Nuff' said.

The most perfect funeral song ever written, without a trace of tackiness
- 1. Soul To Squeeze by Red Hot Chili Peppers
A beautiful ramble... sad sad SAD. Saddest bass interlude ever. Anyone who's ever f**ked up will relate to this song.
