      Funny lyrics and a great tune. A classic
    • 9. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      Will there ever be a band as good as the smashing pumpkins?
    • 8. Just by Radiohead
      The guitars just spiral up until the best bit at the end when they crash back down to earth with a bluesy solo.
    • 7. Revelate by The Frames
      These guys should be bloody huge! They're a brilliant irish band. Buy one of their albums now. Revelate is a brilliant song. Great video too.

      This is the song he should be remembered by. It sends a shiver down my spine when I hear it.
    • 2. Breaking Into Heaven/ by Stone Roses
      Another great solo. The guitar is really funky. Their first album wasn't in the nineties so I've got to stick this one in here from the second album.
    • 1. Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins
      Most people prefer Today but the solo on this song does it for me. Cool lyrics.

    These weren't in order I just picked my favourites out of the list. Runners up prizes go to... U2, Red hot chili peppers, Nirvana, Pixies.
