What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Alex
- 10. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
This song definitely put rap into the mainstream. Besides, if Wierd Al makes such a cool parody of it, the song must have been good, right?
- 9. Losing My Religion by REM
This song is so awesome. Check it out!
- 8. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot
Hehehe... this has got to me one of the funniest songs of the 90's. What other song could make females look like sex objects while at the same time giving ladies so much respect? Truly interesting.
- 7. Loser by Beck
I'd call this song the anthem of 90's alternative.
- 6. Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton
Tears are coming to my eyes just thinking about this song.
- 5. I Will Remember You by Sarah Mclaughlin
This is such a beautiful song. Please buy the CD!!!
- 4. Free As A Bird by The Beatles
This song was not origionally made in the 90's, but I would definitely count it as a 90's song. This almost sounded like it was performed in the 60's! Amazing lyrics and meaning give this song an A+.
- 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
This song IS THE 90's!!!
- 2. One Headlight by Wallflowers
Many people would question how valid this pick is, but this song has given me much inspiration and spirit when I was running on empty.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
I don't think any song has given me more raw feelings than this song and The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. When the 90's are long forgotten in the cultural sense, songs like this one will live on.

it was a tough decision for this spot but it got narrowed down to this or Mr. Jones by Counting Crows... metallica just won out even though I HATE they're lawsuit insecurities.

- 3. Live by Lightning Crashes
just a awesome song. period.
- 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
lets see... who started alternative? ...thats what i thought.
- 1. Collective Soul by The World I Know
collective soul is no doubt the best band of the 90's and is still kickin. with hits like shine, december, listen, run, why part 2... the list goes on... who can deny them their deserved glory.
This is the MOST unfair and biased Top Ten you will ever feast your eyes upon. Sorry. But I chose the Rock aspect of the 90s over all the other wonderful genres. Hope you like.
By: Kevin
- 10. Eminem by My Name Is
he tapped into an unforseen market in american youth: cutdown-rap-comedy... needless to say it worked
- 9. Hot S*** (Country Grammer) by Nelly
Straight from St. Louis this guy can flow like no other. His skills alone put him here.

Little Orphan Annie never sounded so good. This one's got the memories to go with it.
- 7. Make Em Say Uhhh by Master P
Establishing himself as a rap artist with power

for lack of better choice I put this song on. I personally hate Lil Troy but who can argue that this song isn't just awesome.
- 5. Changes by 2Pac
everyone I know is in love with this song. if your not you should get a headache.
- 4. Can't Touch This by MC Hammer
he brought rap to the mainstream audience and was closely followed by his white boy counterpart

alright so maybe it is almost too new but this song has been playin non-stop since its release last year so like it or leave it i suggest you retreive it

just an incredible beat accompanied by increadably catchy lyrics make this song a must hear
- 1. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
ok if you don't like this song then your just unamerican
My roommate made a strictly Rock chart here and so I decided I'd complement him by adding a strictly Rap chart. Hey you gotta be fair and there's no way you could incorporate both rap and rock under one roof. no room.
