    • 10. Wonderwall by Oasis
      For music lovers.
    • 9. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      Smashing Pumpkins are weird but that is what gives them their sour sweet taste.
    • 8. Track 2 by Blur
      Party song this song is just fun I don't know of any other song that does that.
    • 7. Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Can anyone say BREAK UP SONG?
    • 6. Comedown by Bush
      Great drive around song to get your mind out there.
    • 5. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
      Very POP soundind but so well put together I love the lounge around feeling it has to it.
    • 4. Longview by Green Day
      GREAT SONG.
    • 3. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      This song sums up how the 90s sort of just faded slowly away.
    • 2. Losing My Religion by REM
      Very sad, strange, and wonderful song.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      This song was fulol of angst and melody gave America a musical enema to clean out all the crap that was on MTV.

    We need another band like Nirvana to bring great music to the mainstream again these Story of the Years and Yellowcards are basically spitting in the face of music. GRUNGE RULES!

    • 10. Sonnet by The Verve
      Arguably better than Bittersweet Symphony, this is for me, more catchy and deep.
    • 9. Is Anybody Home? by Our Lady Peace

    • 8. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
      THIS is the best song off this album, not wonderwall.
    • 7. Motorcycle Driveby by Third Eye Blind

      Beautiful, touching ballad by this Canadian.

      The best power ballad ever made.
    • 3. Karma Police by Radiohead
      Funny on a lyrical side, serious from a music side. All great though
    • 2. Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins
      Grand and epic, this is what the pumpkins are about.
    • 1. Stand Inside Your Love by The Smashing Pumpkins
      Great song not a lot of people know about. Easily the best song in Machina.
