Possibly the saddest sounding song ever.
- 1. Trash by Suede
Class song, nice guitar rifts and thought provoking.

By: Peter Boekelheide
- 10. Backstreets Back by Backstreet Boys
Every big boy band was influenced by this song. Brought about the boy band hysteria.
- 9. My Name Is? by Eminem
Made rap more mainstream accessible.
- 8. Beautiful People by Marylin Manson
Marylin Manson, however abhorrant, brought shock-rock back into play, and led to the media frenzy over violence caused by music.
- 7. Pardon Me by Incubus
Incubus-esque music will be the big deal throughout 2001-2006.
- 6. Loser by Beck
I should have put this higher on my list, led to a huge change in the face of music, bands such as Sublime got a lot of their influence from Beck
- 5. Dammit by Blink 182
Blink helped bring crappy punk rock into the forefront, led bands such as MxPx and Fenix Tx to gaining fame.
- 4. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Chili Peppers and Rage started the Rap/Rock craze.
- 3. Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine
See above.
- 2. Even Flow by Pearl Jam
Another big deal, Pearl Jam basically brought about modern alternative rock.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
It only completly changed the face of music.
This is more important songs than my favorite songs. If it were my favorites, there would be more good stuff.

- 7. SummerGirls by LFO
New Kids on the Block had a lot of Hits - Summer 1999

They released this smash, then they "missed the bus" with their follow-up single - Spring 1992
- 5. The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground
I once go busy in a British Knights bathroom. Oops, thats the "other" BK - Summer 1990

- 1. The Dance by Clint Brooks
Two words: Lookin' Back - 1990

- 10. We havent turned around by Gomez
Nice hazy song.
- 9. Time of your Life by Green Day
I have failed to understand how a punk rock band can produce such a song.
- 8. Jumper by Third Eye Blind
The middle part compares to "My friend of misery". A immediately likeable great song.
- 7. Reckoning Day by Megadeth
Need to listen to the whole album "Youthanasia" about 20 times to enjoy this one song... but it will be worth the effort.
- 6. My friend of Misery by Metallica
I feel betrayed because what they do (napster etc) is different from what they sing,so I resent the fact they have produced such a beautiful song...
- 5. Lithium by Nirvana
Its nirvana.
- 4. Full Circle by Aerosmith
Again, not a "as much as it should be acclaimed" song
- 3. Smile by Pearl Jam
Great song, not as popular as their more popular songs, which is sad.
- 2. Estranged by GNR
Nothing I say can explain the greatness of this song... except what I just said.
- 1. Perfect by Smashing Pumpkins
Need to listen to it about 10 times before it sinks in. Then it will take 2 years for it to sink out.
