By: Alex
• 10. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
  Possibly the greatest Metallica song ever written, certainly their greatest song of the 90's.
• 9. Blind by Korn
  Great band, great album, great song! Korn are the kings of nu metal.
• 8. Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine
  This is the ultimate in your face song, no one took RATM as a joke once they heard this.
• 7. The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
  Strong and powerful. This is Manson at his best.
• 6. Wait And Bleed by Slipknot
  If it wern't for this song I would have no respect for the Iowan nontete.
• 5. All Apologies by Nirvana
  Easily my favorite song from the most influential band of the 90's.
• 4. I Could Have Lied by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  Personally I prefer the 80's Chili Peppers records but this song did a good job in showing the softer side of the Peppers.
• 3. Fear Of The Dark by Iron Maiden
  The 90's weren't the best era for my all time favorite band, but this song was brilliant.
• 2. Your Sweet Six Six Six by H.I.M.
  A beautiful song from the Scandinavian love metallers.
• 1. Sleepwalk Capsules by At The Drive-In
  Weird lyrics but a good powerful song from a decent 90's band.

I've possibly wrote this list in the wrong order as I'm not the best at following instructions. If I've done it correctly then Metallica should be first and At The Drive-In last.
