    • 2. Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
      Great song with great vocals and some nice hooks.
    • 1. Tyler by Toadies

    • 9. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      This song has the same 90's feel to it as Nirvana's Teen Spirit.
    • 8. Temptation Waits by Garbage
      They are shit now, but rocked the boat back in the 90's

      This band came from left field. They had such a cool style. (ah grade 7)

      This band was by far the best band in the 90's. Radiohead's music will never die, it can be pegged to any decade.
    • 3. Wonderwall by Oasis

      Song that launched the 90's rock scene

    Too many good songs to put down. Hail to the 90's! f**k the 00's, that have brought us nothing buy R&B and rap bull shit. Every artist sounds the same and deliver their lyrics with the panache of shoveling dirt in another persons face.
