By: Tom Robinson

So angry...Local cover band from my college days ended every show playing this one at about 1:50 am.
- 9. Corduroy by Pearl Jam
Best song after Jeremy.
- 8. Hunger Stirke by Temple of the Dog
Cornell and Vedder going back and forth- just awesome.

- 6. Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins
Another classic.
- 5. Tripping Billies by Dave Matthews Band
Saw him more than a few times in College. My favorite song from DMB.
- 4. When I Come Around by Green Day
Just a great song
- 3. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
Best song from their best album
- 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Still get chills when I hear it
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
The song that brought back real rock music.
The 90s was high school and college for me. Think it's entirely too much grunge? Oh well- it's my list. With the exception of a few good bands that were born or survived through the worst decade of rock music-(Metallica, VH, GNR)-real hard rock died around 1980. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, AIC, and the Pumpkins brought it back to us. All you grunge haters out there? Bl*w me!!!!
By: Eternal E
- 10. Fire,Water,Burn by The Bloodhound Gang
how can you not leave this band out? even mainstream hip hop people sing this song!! they do this to entertain us, and they ARE actually quite funny. jimmy pop isn't a reluctant heterophobe, he is a lyrical genius!
- 9. Evenflow by Pearl Jam
also grunge pioneers, these guys lasted through all of the 90's, but they eventually got pretty stale, and needed some new kind of style. it sounded like Last Kiss wasn't even a cover because they did it so well. anyway, evenflow,awesome song, i will always remember it when it was on at parties and school dances and shit.
- 8. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
everyone should know this song! if you go to a chillies concert and you don't know the words to this song, i don't blame the people that beat you up, and if they don't, do it to yourself anyway!the ultimate slow song of the decade, and probably the next too, followed closely behind by down in a hole by alice in chains.
- 7. H. by Tool
the point of tool? who cares, innovative guitaring and out-of-this-f**king-world drumming by danny carey,nice bass works and having maynard as their vocalist, makes this band hard to compete with and hard to NOT like. i'm glad they take long to make their albums, otherwise i'd be too obsessed with them!
- 6. Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine
awesome politically charged rap metal! the best of it's kind,the innovators, the kings. there were actually no other good RM acts, but RATM showed how good it COULD be if it was done right.
- 5. Sad But True by Metallica
my personal favourite off the black album, this is the best song to sing along to! it's very metallica-ish, it reminds me of what they are trying to sound like now.....wierd....but it's true
- 4. Real Muthaphukkin G's by Eazy-E
what a comeback! pumping bass and f**king phat ass lyrics (all anti-dre and snoop) ,coming from gangsta rap's pioneer, Eazy-E! very evolved from his N.W.A. days, but i'm not saying it's his hey-day because Straight Outta Compton CAN NOT BE TOUCHED.
- 3. Blind by Korn
MEAN song, the first time i heard this easy - but effective riff,i thought to myself that the world had been saved.kurt cobain had died, i thought there was no hope,but these guys came and made me forget about what was shitty about the music scene after 5/4/94.
- 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
when you think 90's you think this song.
- 1. Would? by Alice In Chains
their most successful single behind 1993's No Excuses,this is a definite example of what was coming out of Seattle in those days.Good Music.
honourable mention : Stone Temple Pilots "Plush",Silverchair "Ana's Song",Smashing Pumpkins "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" Soundgarden "Black-Hole Sun",Nine Inch Nails "Hurt",Foo Fighters "Everlong",Ice Cube "It Was A Good Day",OutKast "Ain't No Thang"
By: Cammie
- 10. Unpretty by TLC
"My outsides look cool, my insides are blue..."
- 9. Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls
Name, Iris, Naked, Broadway, Slide, Dizzy... they're all good, but this one takes the cake
- 8. 3 am by Matchbox 20
Terrific band, one of their first hits, Rob Thomas is amazing, has great songwriting skills and is so underrated!
- 7. Father of Mine by Everclear
One of my favorite bands!! Great song, even better than I WIll BUY YOU A NEW LIFE (another favorite of mine)
- 6. One Headlight by The Wallflowers
I had to listen to it twice to really grasp the lyrics... fantastic
- 5. Bitch by Meredith Brooks
One hit wonder, but a hell of a hit nonetheless.
- 4. You Oughta Know by Alanis
Amazing lyrics... you can practically see Alanis' anger and hurt pouring out...
- 3. Nuttin' But a G Thang by Dr. Dre and Snoop
What can I say? Best rap song ever
- 2. Smooth by Rob Thomas and Santana
Why isn't this song mentioned more? It EXPLODED in the late 90's... a unique combination of Santana's guitar solos and Rob's voice and lyrics... TIMELESS!
- 1. Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Theme song of the 90's... need I say more?
Also good: Stan (song that got everyone's attention and respect as we start to reccognize Eminem's talent hidden behind his attitude), Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews, Don't Speak by No Doubt (GREAT LYRICS!!!), Dammit and Peggy Sue by Blink, any Notorious BIG song, I'm the Only One by Melissa Ethridge, My Own Worst Enemy by Lit, any Third Eye Blind song released in the 90's, and If I Am by Nine Days (released in 1999, GREAT LYRICS, GREAT MELODY!!)

- 2. Karma Police by Radiohead
Wowzer.
- 1. The Old Apartment by Barenaked Ladies
At a time when grunge rock and punk influence tainted everything you could smell, it felt like this was the band being daring. barenaked ladies and geek rock are the bestest.
Hey, shut up and go listen to barenaked ladies.
