By: RyeBread
- 10. Come Original by 311
One of the last dominant songs from the alternative movement that began with grunge in November of 1991. From here on, the rock charts are dominated by Nu Metal (Korn, Limp Bizkit), pseudo-electronic (Gorillaz, Moby), and rap/rock mixes (Eminem, Kid Rock).
- 9. Allstar by Smashmouth
The sun begins to set, it is 1998. The mood of the year is reflected in this song. Mark McGwire is hitting home runs, the economy is extremely fast. Grunge elements begin to disappear, alternative is beginning to die as music becomes more and more "electronic". The Beasty Boys (Intergalactic) and Third Eye Blind (Jumper) typify the year.
- 8. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins
1997. We can clearly see a difference between the songs of this year and those from earlier in the decade. Although no breakthroughs a la Nirvana have brought about the next generation, we begin to see the limits of the alternative format. Other examples from this year include Alice in Chains (Again) and Sheryl Crow (Caught a Lite Sneeze).
- 7. One Headlight by Wallflowers
In 1996, some of the diversity characterized by the previous two years begins to disappear. The playlist at the radio station shortens, becomes more repetative. The Red Hot Chili Peppers (Aeroplane, Roller Coaster) dominate the last half of the year.
- 6. Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis
c. 1995. The alternative movement is at its strongest. A huge variety of music is played on rock radio. The tempo and content changes greatly from one track to the next. However, we are still guitar-driven with a verse-chorus-verse format. Other music from this period include songs from Whale (Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe), The Offspring (Come Out and Play), and Blur (Girls and Boys)
- 5. Low by Cracker
In the middle of the "alternative" movement, circa 1994. Typical example of verse-chorus-verse style of the time, e.g. Tom Petty (Mary Jane's Last Dance) & The Gin Blossoms (Hey Jealousy). Kurt Cobain survives a suicide attempt in Rome, but is later found dead at his home in Washington from a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
- 4. Soul To Squeeze by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Still '93; Another post-grunge song that catalyzed an entire genre. Red Hot Chili Peppers was way ahead of their time, having recorded this long before Nirvana did their thing. U2 (Numb, Lemon) and REM (Everybody Hurts) were following a similar track.
- 3. Cut Your Hair by Pavement
A La 1993. One of the early post-grunge songs. While pure grunge continues to thrive in the form of Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox and various others, the first seedlings of a broader "alternative" style can be seen.
- 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
If Nirvana started the change, this made it absolute. No going back after this dominated the charts in '92.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Late 1991. Before: Guns N' Roses, Michael Jackson, Right Said Fred. After: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox, Ugly Kid Joe. Thats all I have to say about that.
This list isn't necessarily a list of the greatest songs, but it shows the evolution of rock music through the '90s. This era was a long time coming, as evidenced from the earlier punk and new wave movements in the '80s. While many think this era saw the bastardization of rock, it is clear that a greater diversity of rock was played in this era than any other.

- 10. Loosing My Religion by R.e.m

- 2. Almost Unreal by Roxette

- 1. Fading Like A Flower by Roxette
I still cant listen to the live version without getting goosebumps allover. Go Marie, Go Per!
As always I miss my Roxette, my revenge is swift and sweet. Also as usual, R.E.M gets the "Ten", since I cant in my heart let em down.
