All these songs are really good. Another great song is Far Behind by Candlebox. I am not sure if it is from the 90s, but I would suggest listening to it!!!
By: Carli
- 10. Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan
Beautiful!!
- 9. She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy by Kenny Chesney
I'm so serious! This song is so fun, it's hard not to like it. I love Kenny Chesney, so he had to be the country part of my top ten.
- 8. Electrical Storm by U2
I'm not sure if this song is from the '90's or not. It's on the "Best of 1990-2000" CD, so it may be from 2000. Even so, this is a great song about two lovers trying to clear the air. I love U2!!
- 7. Run by Collective Soul
- 6. Hang by Matchbox 20
Beautiful music.
- 5. Breathing by Lifehouse
Beautiful lyrics!
- 4. Sail Away by David Gray
Tied for #4 are "Please Forgive Me", "My Oh My", and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" all by David Gray. He's my hero! If you've never heard David Gray, give his "White Ladder" CD a listen. Very soothing.
- 3. Lightning Crashes by Live
Another amazing Live song. (I love Live)
- 2. Dance With You by Live
"Dance With You" is an unplayed song, but if you've never heard it, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD IT! The song is absolutely beautiful. I have to say that, far and wide, this song is the most incredible song I've ever heard.
- 1. One by U2
This song is my all-time favorite. It is absolutely amazing.
If I could, I'd also like to add "Criminal" by Fiona Apple, "LA Song" by Beth Hart, "Land of Confusion" by Phil Collins (unless that's '80's), and "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers. The '90's had some really great music, especially 1999.

- 10. Beautiful Day by U2
- 9. Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans by Smashing Pumpkins
9:21 of beauty
- 8. Fast Car by David Usher
Terrific cover
- 7. Summer Of '69 by Bryan Adams
Did this come out in the 90's. Great Canadian artist. Awesome song.
- 6. What's The Frequency Kenneth by R.e.m
- 5. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Another beauty. Emotional.
- 4. Don't Go Away by Oasis
Great rock song with clever lyrics. Oasis is the best Rock band from overseas since the Beatles.
- 3. Round Here by Counting Crows
Beautiful. Noone can compare lyrically with CC.
- 2. Drown by Smashing Pumpkins
Best Rock and Roll Band of All Time. Lot's of play out of this song.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Influence
By: Sam Cowman
- 10. When I Come Around by Green Day
Bad a** beats
- 9. Amish Paradise by Weird Al
hill-lare-ious
- 8. Hi Hi Hi by Out Of*sync

- 7. Tai Mai Shu by Tai Mai Shu

- 6. Fight For Right To Party by Beastie Boys
CUT THAT HAIR!

- 3. Kalifornia by Fatboy Slim
koolest tekno
- 2. Basket Case by Green Day
O YA
- 1. Guerrilla Radio by Rage Against The Machine
awesome shiz
By: Paul
- 10. The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails
Errr.....just turn it up, lie back...and wait for the solo. Nothing will never be the same again.
- 9. Teardrop by Massive Attack
Trip-Hop. This is Massive Attack's finest hour. Mesmeric.
- 8. Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Just a great, great track. The brooding melody, awesome lyrics...indicative of the album in that it simply defines 'cool'.
- 7. Three Libras by A Perfect Circle
Like Tool, but to less of an extent...this is generally music that requires plenty of attention before you reap the full rewards...but when you do, they are indeed fruitful. Three Libras is genuinely awesome. A truly masterful 3 and a half minutes of music excellence.
- 6. Nutshell by Alice In Chains
A very simple, acoustic track from their 1994 'Jar of Flies' album...which was a huge departure from the metal/grunge stuff they'd written prior. This song more than any other gives me perspective. I will always marvel at the way Layne and Jerry were able to take the most intense and depressing of issues....and make beautiful songs out of them. 'And yet I find, repeating in my head...if I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead'.
- 5. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
Unique. I could use a number of superlatives (and my tendency to exagerrate is only just beginning)...) to describe the sound of this song but the most important reason it's up here in the top 5 is because there's nothing else like it.
- 4. In My Tree by Pearl Jam
The group has produced so much fantastic work and they don't come much better than this masterpiece off 1996's much under-rated 'No Code'. One of those unique songs that gives you a sacredly cool feeling that you don't know how to explain which therefore makes it all the more personal because only you'll ever know how it makes you feel. Yeah. I f*ckin rate this song so much. The album version is the best, though they've been known to change it live. 'Up here so high the sky I scrape'
- 3. Soma by Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan is a true genius and there may never be another band like this... Soma is typical Pumpkins - Beautiful distortion. That's all I can say...the build up is sublime...and then, one of the most earth shattering, soul wrenching solos you'll ever hear. Turn it up. Loud.
- 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Whether or not it's overplayed is irrelevant. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. No need to describe why this rocks, because everyone knows the deal.
- 1. Black by Pearl Jam
I don't possess the vocabulary to do this song justice. From the album 'Ten', check out their mtv unplugged version from 1992. Greatest - THING - Ever. 'And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything.' 'I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star...In somebody else's sky, but why, but why, why can't it be mine?'

- 10. I Touch Myself by Divynals
I LOVE this song. My friends and I knew all the lyrics and often sang it loudly and drunkenly on the street.
- 9. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
The Pumpkins were consistantly successfull throughout the 90s. BWBW was played at every house party I went to growing up. Great party song.
- 8. No Rain by Blind Melon
This is a terrific song about living a simple life and being easily ammused, everyone loved this song, it was heard playing everywhere, by everyone.
- 7. Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden
This is just an awesome song. My favourite of Soundgarden tunes.
- 6. Would? by Alice In Chains
Another Classic 90s band, and a great song from a classic 90s movie soundtrack, "Singles"
- 5. Creep by Radiohead
I absolutely LOVE Radiohead, and who doesn't like a good song about a Creep?
- 4. Afternoons And Coffeespoons by Crash Test Dummies
This guy has got a very powerful and amazing voice, I love it. This is a cute song about growing old.
- 3. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
This is just a great song! It's Passionate, agressive and naugty! Always a good song to shock and piss off the parents, and personally I think it serves for the perfect wedding song.
- 2. Black by Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam created wonderful songs in the 90s and are still at it to this day. This is a beautiful, amazing song. By far the best ever Pearl Jam song, about loving someone who loves another.
- 1. Come As You Are by Nirvana
Kurt Cobain was the King of grunge and Nirvana was the biggest impact on alternative music. This song is about being yourself, and I think that's what the 90s was all about.
Honourable mentions: Waiting Room by Fugazi, Losing My Religion by REM, Where Is My Mind by The Pixies, and Don't Speak by No Doubt.
By: Chuck Knobloch
- 10. Molly's Lips by Nirvana
This is where Nirvana shows the side of them that sounds alot like the Beatles

Catchy as hell.
- 8. Man On the Moon by R.E.M
R.E.M total lounge music band I love this song its so catchy and up beat.
- 7. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
This song is so sad and makes me look at the world in discust no one should do that to a kid. WATCH THE VIDEO!
- 6. Blackhole Sun by Soundgarden
Sweet ass song it turns out it was not written to mean anything but I have the feeling it does mean something...
- 5. When I Come Around by Green Day
Green Day can take something so sweet sounding without words then kick you in the mouth and write this.
- 4. Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Ok what else can I say the band changed rock and brought "alternative" music into the light but Nirvana was much more then "alternative".
- 3. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
I love this song you can just sit there and listen to it and be in utter peace.
- 2. Fell On Black Days by Soundgarden
Slow mind numbing song it touches me.
