By: Henry
• 10. Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  I can't really leave this off. After all, the 90s didn't really start until this song was released, but I've never been a Nirvana fan, sad to say.
• 9. Welcome to Paradise by Green Day
  Oh so underrated compared to their other stuff, but I love this thing
• 8. Santa Monica by Everclear
  Haunting like my number one. It's almost too depressing to listen to.
• 7. Unforgiven by Metallica
  In my opinion, better than Enter Sandman. Great transition, what a song.
• 6. Californication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  All the good and bad of California, but also all of America. Chilli Peppers grown up, good stuff.
• 5. When I Come Around by Green Day
  I like mellow stuff, although Green Day does not have a bad song. And this is the best, other then that overplayed Good Riddance
• 4. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
  Heavy on the Base, and I personally find it their best song.
• 3. Outta My Head by Fastball
  Oh so underrated and forgotten. So relaxing.
• 2. November Rain by Guns and Roses
  Pretty long, and at some points a little too long for just a song, but that video alone makes up for it, and the solos...That second solo is possibly the most flawless, perfect solo ever crafted, a perfect fit for the somber and evil background and hellish vocals from Axle.
• 1. Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  Haunting lyrics, just all around an incredible song

That's a lot harder than you'd think at first.

  Great. I think it was their first single ever, great way to start.
• 9. No Rain by Blind Melon
  Although it was their only song there is hardly any other one hit wonder who made such an impact, if shannon hoon stayed alive they'd be possibl;y the best band of the nineties.

  Showed more emotion than average nirvana, really mae them nore serious. Great song, fine lyrics.

  This song is huge, there won't be a better single from a rock band ever again.

• 10. My Own Prison by Creed
  Scott Stapp's lyrics to the first Creed album makes it one of the greats. Written before the band met, in a one room apartment with no furniture, Stapp has to confront his beliefs to his failures in life.
• 9. You Were Meant for Me by Jewel
  THe story of any heartbreak. Denial is one of the first symptoms. You can't leave me, you were meant for me and I was meant for you.
• 8. Heaven Beside You by Alice in Chains
  Like the coldest winter chill, this song just gives you the jibblies. WHatever those are.
• 7. Gone Away by The Offspring
  Tragic, just imagine losing your love. The barrier of death hurts even more while alive.
• 6. Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  Tom PEtty and the Heartbreaker's greatest songs. From this I jumped to Nirvana.
• 5. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
  SOunds like someone's avoiding the question.
• 4. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
  No comment. It just is.
• 3. Adia by Sarah McLachlan
  Sad, sad, sad, yet comforting song. We are born innocent, but does Adia forgive?
• 2. Forgiven by Alanis Morrisette
  The deep drum beats with an eerie guitar tune with Alanis's voice all fit together.
• 1. Rape Me by Nirvana
  The riffs, the feeling of utter self-destruction, the bass, drums, and guitar all come together. By far one of the greats.

Huge Nirvana fan, but I made myself have a different band for every song to give a good perspective on the whole 90's rock scene. I like Pearl Jam, but no one song can stick out.
