    • 8. Every You Every Me by Placebo
      This is one band I really dig, I think they are very underated. They got lots of great tracks. This one reminds me of the opening scene of Cruel Intensions. Great movie!
    • 7. Californication by Red Hot Chily Peppers
      I love the lyrics of this song, poetry! Great video too, like playing XBOX
    • 6. Hedonism by Skunk Anansie
      Great ballad,
    • 5. Zero by Smashing Pumpkins
      Pure simple genius.
    • 4. Touched by Vast
      Really cool song, dont know much about it exept I think it was used in a rather crappy movie featuring Leonardo De Caprio, the Beach.
    • 3. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
      This songs got it all, its cramped full of tempo changes and its so aggresive. I love this band. They have loads of songs that could make this list.
    • 2. One by U2
      A great song from the greatest band of all time bar the beatles and perhaps the stones.
    • 1. Stinkfist by Tool
      Great song, great video, Love it to death! Their music videos never disappoint me and neither does their musicianship.

    There are so many other songs that can make my list but this is just the lite version.
    By: Donna
    • 10. Another Night by Real McCoy
      Come on! It's a classic dance song.
    • 9. Sunshine by Jay Z
      When you hear the first beats, you know what song's coming on. There is no confusing it.
    • 8. Hey Mr DJ by Zhane
      Most people don't know this song but it reminds me of the days back when I was little.
    • 7. Nookie by Limp Bizkit
      I'm not a fan of Rock or whatever you wanna call it but I can't help but love this song.
    • 6. Horse and Carriage by Mase and Camron
      Stupid name but awesome song.
    • 5. No Doubt by Don't Speak
      Good song to listen to when your pissed at someone. It helps get the anger out.
    • 4. Rockell by If I Had The Chance
      Rockell represented for the new group of freestyle artists in the 90s.
    • 3. Fantasy by Mariah Carey
      Back when Mariah was good
    • 2. Only You by 112 feat. Mase
      This is my song!!!!!!!!!!!
    • 1. Juicy by Notorious BIG
      No matter how many times I hear this song, it never gets old.

    As you can see I like a lot of different music. However, most of the good songs that cam out of the 90s was hip hop, in my opinion anyway.
    By: Alexa
    • 10. Rough Rider's Anthem by DMX
    • 9. Tell Me What You Want by Mase feat Total
    • 8. Still Not a Playa by Big Pun feat Joe
    • 7. If I Ruled the World by Nas and Lauryn Hill
    • 6. Ghetto Superstar by Mya feat ODB
    • 5. Who Do You Love by LL Cool J
    • 4. Senorita by Puff Daddy
    • 3. Notorious BIG by Hypnotize
    • 2. Jay Z by Can I Get A
    • 1. I Swear by All 4 One

    It's hard to believe that so few people listed Hip Hop and R&B songs on their lists. Yet you put songs that came form bands that people have never heard of. They obviously couldn't be that good.
