    By: Frangos
    • 10. The Sweetest Thing by U2
      Brilliant song by a brilliant band. Written in 1988 and released in 1998 and yet was still a great love song.
    • 9. Come As You Are by Nirvana
      Just a great song. One of Nirvana's best.
    • 8. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      This is one of those songs that makes you remember where you were when you first heard it.
    • 7. Got The Life by Korn
      Great guitar riffs and just a combination of vocals and drums makes the song brilliant.
    • 6. Song 2 by Blur
      Woohoo. Can't forget that ever. hahah although short is a great song.
    • 5. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
      You could argue that nearly every person has heard of this song and when the Peppers were really starting to climb the ladder to success.
    • 4. I dont wanna miss a thing by Aerosmith
      When this song came out I automatically thought it was the best song I had ever heard and after five or so years it's definitely in the top ten.
    • 3. My Name Is by Eminem
      Although not my favourite genre this song has a great beat throughout and is one song I was impressed by from hip hop.
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      What makes this song so great is the although easy guitar structure it is a brilliant combination and very original and with Kurt Cobain screaming out what can seem quite extroadinary lyrics makes a great song that will last.
    • 1. One by U2
      First listening to this song I thought it was quite ordinary but after a few times listening to it, the name is exactly that. Easy guitar but magnificent tune with a great melody by Bono.

    • 10. Simple Creed by Live
      Tons of great music from these fellas. This one kinda slipped through the cracks. This excellent rendition of the bands progression from college band to mainstream rockers.
    • 9. Jane Says by Janes Addiction
      I have 1 thing to say... STEEL DRUM VERSION-LIVE... If you've heard it then you know what i'm talking about. If you haven't, what the hell are you waiting for? Join the party.
    • 8. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      This song caught everybody off guard when it hit. There was nothing else quite like it out there... and does anyone remember that heroine chick lead singer plowing into people time and time again in the video? ... that's what it's all about!
    • 7. Aphrodesiac Jacket by Cult
      Absolutely phenomenal group with so much amazing music. This is a little known track that captures everything they were trying to do.... kick some a$$!
    • 6. Closing Time by Semisonic
      "I know who i want to take me home!" Hopefully she's a double- jointed super model that owns her own brewery and has unlimited access to concert tickets and prescription drugs!!!!!
    • 5. Simple by Collective Soul
      I still cannot believe this song was left off their greatest hits?!
    • 4. Zero by Smashing Pumpkins
      Again... Tonight, 1979, etc... keep them. Stick to the basics. Zero is a song that proves you can still rule after you've made it big. You don't have to sell out (metallica, soundgarden, and so on).
    • 3. Supersonic by Oasis
      Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, etc... you can keep them. This is the tune that put them on the map and showed everyone they could hang!
    • 2. Wax Extatic by Sponge
      What happened to these guys? This was a killer tune!
    • 1. Starseed by Our Lady Peace
      The first taste of success from a band with many hits. This is still their best song to date.

    These are in no particular order. Hope i was helpful. In case you were wondering... i don't feel the least bit guilty omitting Nirvana from this list. They were a good band but if Kurt didn't end it the way he did... the band would be in the same classification as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, etc... instead of The Beatles, Zepplin, Stones, and so on. Wake up everybody!

    • 10. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
      Good car-drive song even though I never liked Nirvana.
    • 9. Chemicals Between Us by Bush
      Just like the way the song sounds - nothing else to say.
    • 8. I Can Love You by Mary J Blige f/ Lil Kim
      Great sound effects, very catchy, remember it from the late summer of '97.
    • 7. Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon
      I'm everything she wants and everything she needs but I mean nothing to her and I don't know why. Maybe we've all been in this situation at least once.
    • 6. It's No Good by Depeche Mode
      Generally I liked this group for their '80s and '90s music. This isn't my favorite song on the CD though, I like the Useless song even more.
    • 5. Take a Picture by Filter
      Love this song although when I heard it back in '99 and '00, I misunderstood what the song was about. Doesn't matter; I created my own idea of what the song was about.
    • 4. Stand Inside Your Love by Smashing Pumpkins
      Nobody plays this song anymore and nobody talks about it but this is my favorite Pumpkins song. I liked just about all of their hit songs.
    • 3. Don't Go Away by Oasis
      Not a song that was real popular but it's a favorite song of mine. I also like Wonderwall a lot and Oasis in general.
    • 2. Shimmer by Fuel
      Like how the song builds. Song is very short though. Also liked Bittersweet and many of their post-90's songs like Innocent.
    • 1. Everlong by Foo Fighters
      Great car-drive song through long, straight, tree-lined stretches of roadway.

    There's hardly any separation between my #9 and #10 and a few other favorites that go outside my top 10 like "Black Balloon/Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls, "Adam's Song" by Blink 182 (if that was late '90's and not 2000, can't remember), "You Wanted More" by Tonic, "All I Want" by Toad the Wet Sprocket, "The Great Beyond" by REM, "She's so High" by Tal Bachman, "Abuse Me" by Silverchair.

    • 10. Because I Got High by Afroman
      Really funny stuff... Great to hear every so often
    • 9. Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta by Geto Boys
      When its you and your boys play this track
    • 8. He Got Game by Public Enemy
      Classic song... One of the best beats of all-time
    • 7. My Mind Playin' Tricks on Me by Geto Boys
      Great Classic... D/L this if you dont know it
    • 6. C.R.E.A.M by Wu-Tang
      Cash Rules Everything Around Me
    • 5. Ruff Riders Anthem by DMX (Ruff Riders)
      DMX at his best... Ruff Riders great beat
    • 4. Juicy by Notorious B.I.G.
      It was all a dream...
    • 3. Big Poppa by Notorious B.I.G.
      Great beat... Great Lyrics
    • 2. Hit Em' Up by Tupac Shakur
      Tupac at his best

      Classic Joint
