• 10. The Dope Show by Marilyn Manson
  Manson, though labelled a talentless satanist by people who usually don't even listen to his music, is brilliant on this take on drugs and media. He really nails it here with his repetition of "cops and queers make good looking models, hate today, no love for tomorrow." Despite what's said about him, he really knows his shit, and this is probably one of his best songs that isn't a cover.
• 9. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
  This song, from its almost whispered lyrics to the soft guitar in the chorus is a different addition to Nine Inch Nails's collection of unique powerful songs like "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug". I am apparently one of the few people who think that Johnny Cash's version of this song was a little too... I don't know. But I immensely prefer this version because Reznor sounds more despairing to match the lyrics
• 8. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
  One of the most gorgeous songs ever made, this calm song bookends a 7 1/2 minute song with ocean sounds and some really high-pitched, fancy guitar. Gallagher's voice gives me a charge that only a few other singers acheive. This song never fails to make me thoughtful and contemplative, which is its beauty.
• 7. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
  Wow. I Love this song. The classical strings that open this song never fail to get me in the mood for a really sad song about the sick sense of humour that life has. This song was, really, the only song that I ever got interested in by these guys. "The Drugs Don't Work" wasn't bad, but just a little too country. This song actually used to be my favorite song from my favorite movie (Cruel Intentions). Boy, have things EVER changed.
• 6. Buddy Holly by Weezer
  This song, with its sometimes indiscernable lyrics and pop culture references, is a real blast. These guys never stop rocking from this nonsense song off the Blue Album, and really, that's all I want from a song.
• 5. Zero by Smashing Pumpkins
  Of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", this awesome little tune just kicks the shit out of me every time I listen to it. Billy Corgan is one of the all time greats, and you have to treasure that one moment in the song when Billy stops to say "Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and God is empty just like me." I've only limited myself to two Smashing pumpkins songs, otherwise they would populate half the list.
• 4. When I Grow Up by Garbage
  Despite being on the soundtrack for big daddy as it's pedigree, this song just makes me happy. Shirley Manson never fails to amaze me with the insight that she infuses into her songs, which is something that bullshit phonies like N'Sync and other such morons. This should really be a tie between Garbage's "Queer", but I just find this song more wholly enjoyable.
• 3. Beck by Jackass
  Arguably the single best track on Odelay, as well as Beck's best song ("Loser" is so overplayed), It's repetition of a few key lyrics force a huge smile on my face, as if to silently congratulate Beck on his endless innovation in songs like this as well as "Devil's Haircut".
• 2. Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead
  It was a tough choice, but between my three favorite Radiohead songs (Paranoid Android, Fake Plastic Trees, Subterranean Homesick Alien) I decided to choose the shortest one, if only for pure innovation of song. Maybe it's also because this song, as well as many of Radiohead's best songs are on "Okay Computer", which is just simply kick-ass.
• 1. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
  Serene, peaceful, powerful, and nostalgic, this song is the Best song of the 90's from the best Album of the 90's, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness".

Well, that's my list. Pretty diverse, but I'd also like to give a few mentions to the songs that almost made it, like Wonderwall - Oasis, Chemicals Between Us - Bush, Ava Adore - Smashing Pumpkins, and Celebrity Skin - Hole.

• 10. Could It Be Magic by Take That
  Who can forget the Take That mania? (At least in Europe.) I have never been a fan of them but I wanted to include at least one 'boy band' in my list as it is one memorable 'movements'(lol :) ) of the 90s as well. Maybe TT weren't the most popular around the world (they never managed a breakthrough in the US) but when I was a teenager they were soooo huge in Europe.
• 9. Another Night by Mc Sar And The Real Mccoy
  I don't really like dance music, but this kind of sound was so typically 90s as well...
• 8. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
  When it was a hit, I was just so fed up with this song because it was playing everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. I guess it was one of the greatest hits of the 90s. And it brings back some memories.
• 7. Innuendo by Queen
  My favourite Queen song and sadly one of the last ones...
• 6. Groove Is In The Heart by Dee-lite
  Still makes you wanna dance...
• 5. Boys And Girls by Blur
  And what would be the 90s without Brit pop...? Oasis made some great music, but it is somehow Blur who ARE Brit pop to me.
• 4. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  What would be the 90s without grunge?
• 3. No Ordinary Love by Sade
  I like the unique sound of Sade.
• 2. What Have We Become by Dc Talk
  "What have we become? / A self indulgent people / What have we become? / Tell me where are the righteous ones? / What have we become? / In a world degenerating / What have we become?"
• 1. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
  One of the best songs I've heard. And it is so typically 90s to me...

• 10. Hero by Foo Fighters
  Its a song about kurt cobain, one of the greatest artists of the 90's, sung by dave grohl, another great artist of the ninties. Big Me was a close 2nd.
• 9. Father of Mine by Everclear
  Great Great Great song. Also could have been a few others by everclear.
• 8. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day
  OK...this was another tough one. Basketcase, Nice Guys Finish last, Fing for a day, Prothsthetic Head, Welocome to Paradise, and definatly When I come around all could have made it...
• 7. Champaine Supernova by Oasis
  Could have been Wonderwall BUT ITS NOT!

  If this song doesn't get to you...your probobly loney, stupid, have no emotions or satan.
• 5. Closing Time by Semisonic
  Oh yes...just...yes
• 4. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
  Could have been colorblind. Counting Crows is great... and so is the band ::budum ch::
• 3. Song 2 by Blur
  Duh
• 2. What I Got by Sublime
  Could have been Santaria or Wrong way...but i chose this one. Whatev.
• 1. Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger
  Yeah...this song rocks ("I'm Paraniod. I'm Paranoid. Everybody's comin' to get me. just say you never met me...")

These songs took awhile to pick, but I managed. I'll give honorable mentions to "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls" by TLC and "Killing Me Softly" by the Fugees.
