What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Ben V
- 10. White Men in Black Suits by Everclear
This song, and 'Everything to Everyone' by Everclear are great songs of the late post-grunge era. I highly suggest buying "Sparkle & Fade" and "So Much for the Afterglow"; as those are two of the finest 90's albums.
- 9. Guerilla Radio by Rage Against The Machine
This song just makes me want to destroy something. Very kickass. Listen to the lyrics, and the song will make more sense with it's title.
- 8. In Bloom by Nirvana
Nirvana was a symbol of the early 90's teenage music, and this song is amazingly good.
- 7. Dayglo by Hazel
Hazel broke out of Portland, Oregon, just in that light/alternative faStone Temple Pilotsaced rock time around '93, with their hit 'Dayglo'. The song is an awesome work, and Hazel even made it onto MTV. They broke up around '98, but Pete Krebs is still making amazing music. Check out the video for 'Dayglo' at www.otisproductions.com Just click on 'music videos' and scroll down.
- 6. Free Fallin' by Tom Petty
Tom Petty is the symbol of the all-American rock figure. Although released on April 14, 1989, the CD version of the album wasn't released until 1990, so we'll say this counts as a 90's single as well.
- 5. Creep by Radiohead
Overplayed, yes, but it deserves the praise and recognition it earned Radiohead.
- 4. Touch Me I'm Sick by Mudhoney
This is the anthem for grunge. 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' may have climbed the charts, but it didn't have the bang that this single had.
- 3. 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins
I'm trying to keep it to one-2 songs per band, otherwise you'd see this list full of Smashing Pumpkin and Nirvana songs. This song is a wonder though.
- 2. All Apologies by Nirvana
With Cobain's death, this song has grown into a symbol of his legacy. When Cobain played this at Nirvana's eery Unplugged performance, it was surreal. This is one of the better memories of the 90's by far, and most certainly for Nirvana.
- 1. Santa Monica by Everclear
This song broke Everclear into the post-grunge scene immediately, and there's a reason why. It's simplistic nature makes you like it in a modern-artsy way, but it's balls-out rock twist make it a perfect blend. This defines the 90's angst that took the helm of rock music.
We all love, and miss the 90's, but the 00's have just as much potential. Music never ends.
By: William Harvey

- 9. Not The Same by Bodyjar

When I first heard this song, I was blown away. The mystic of the german lyrics, meshed with the power of the guitars. Awesome song.
- 5. Gin and Juice by Snoop Doggy Dogg
Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Doggystyle" was the first Rap CD i ever purchased and well worth my money.

In my opinion, one of the best "G Funk" rap songs ever.

Continuing with amazing seattle sound, Pearl Jam's Jeremy is an unforgetable song

first heard this back in '97 was it (!?) Had heard Green Day before then, however when I heard this song, it all sunk in-Green Day you ROCK
- 4. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Like Nirvana, helped to bridge the gap between great rock/grunge music and everyday life (if that makes sense !?)
- 3. Park Life by Blur
Blur and Oasis obviously battled it out and I preffered the latter, but Blur had some good tunes-this was just one of them
- 2. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
Oasis top band, music was great, Champagne Supernova was long but for a reason, the last track on a superb album, nice one Liam, Noel and the rest !
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Not my favourite band, but they helped to define what music was about in the 90's, possibly through to today
Music in the mid 90's rocked a lot of great mat. came out then, pity it's not around today all that much and we are bombared by American POP tripe such as 50Cent-get a life you provoker of criminal activity! and Britney Spears and justin Timberland ! take note GO HOME !!!
