    • 10. Inside Out by Eve 6
      Did everyone forget this song?
    • 9. Buddy Holly by Weezer
      Most Underrated Song of the 90's.
    • 8. Basket Case by Green Day
      Blink 182, Good Charlotte, and Co. can all thank these guys right here.
    • 7. Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley
      Seems as though people forgot about this guy too.
    • 6. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      This song didn't hurt the underground's rising either in the early 90's.
    • 5. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      The second best thing Chris Cornell ever did. The best: Audioslave.
    • 4. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Great Song. Precursor to their future direction.
    • 3. Bulls On Parade by Rage Against The Machine
      The only songs that had more energy during the 90's, the two listed at 1 & 2.
    • 2. Losing My Religion by R.e.m.
      Would be the greatest song in any decade Kurt Cobain wasn't in.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      This all but a given. Every so called "rock" band can thank Mr. Cobain because without hime the alternative wouldn't have become the mainstream.
