• 9. Black by Pearl Jam
  See comment from #8.
• 8. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
  Another great song from the best album in the 90's.
• 7. Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan
  The best song by the Wu, even though C.R.E.A.M. made a larger impact during the 90's.
• 6. Sugar by System of a Down
  One of my favorite rock songs of the 90's.
• 5. Ain't Nothin' but a G-Thang by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre
  The second best hip-hop song of all time. This time with a West Coast style.

  Classic laid back sound, everyone can listen to it.
• 3. C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang Clan
  Best hip-hop song of all time.
• 2. Alive by Pearl Jam
  The best song, in my opinion, fromt the best album of the 90's.

  I cannot put in words how amazing the song and the band were.

• 10. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
  Does anyone remember him on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie?
• 9. Whomp There It Is by Tag Team
  This was a funny song, I can't believe I still remember the words!!
• 8. Summertime by The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff
  I was such a huge Fresh Prince fan, and I still love Will Smith now!
• 7. Waterfalls by TLC
  Who didn't know the words to that song?!
• 6. My Name Is by Eminem
  You must admit this song was extremely funny
• 5. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot
  People still play this song or at least talk about it to this day. If that isn't staying power, I don't know what is.
• 4. Dreamlover by Mariah Carey
  I absolutely loved this song!!! I used to play it over and over in my walkman while riding my bike or mowing the yard.
• 3. Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
  I hate her music (and her current life choices), but her first song did have an impact, granted that impact brought us belly shirts, over the top dance moves and an army of blonde wanna be singers, but we must acknowledge her "talents" and effect on the music scene.
• 2. Nice and Slow by Usher
  I used to be so in love with Usher. Do you remember trying to sing the rap in the middle of the song when he spells his name? That was my favorite part of the whole song.
• 1. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
  Does anyone remember this song or the movie "Dangerous Minds"

• 10. Blurry by Puddle of Mudd
  This song...well it...I like it because...WELL I JUST LIKE IT!
• 9. Frantic by Metallica
  I know what you're thinking:St. Anger sucks! I thought so too, but the album grows on you.
• 8. Torn by Creed
  Shows how melodic yet heavy Creed can be.
• 7. How You Remind Me by Nickelback
  God this song is hard to get out of my head!
• 6. Trust by Megadeth
  What can I say? I'm a sucker for the Metallica/Megadeth style metal.
• 5. Cemetary Gates by Pantera
  Great guitar work, catchy riffs, and well-written lyrics.
• 4. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  I know everybody picks this song, but I have to give credit where credit is due.
• 3. Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park
  This song is heavy, catchy, and also possesses the message that people can relate to.
• 2. Silhouettes by Smile Empty Soul
  I just heard this song yesterday, and I can't get it out of my head. I'm sure many people can relate to the message that this song presents.
• 1. One by Metallica
  This si my favorite song of all time. It brings Metallica's power and aggressiveness, hormonic and melodic capabilities, apocalyptic view of the world, and lighting fast solos into one beautifully crafted masterpiece.

I would put all Metallica because they are like Superman if he were a band. But this is over the last decade. The only reason I put One is because there was no way I could leave that one off.

• 10. Know Your Enemey by Rage Against the Machine
  The greatest Rage song ever features some great vocals and lyrics as well as Maynard James Keenan on backing vocals.
• 9. Du Hast by Rammstein
  The music here is second to none. Rammstein doesn't need to speak English for this song to get across. It's brutal and pure.
• 8. Replica by Fear Factory
  It's tough to choose a best for the Factory, but I went with Replica due to the great riff and mesmerizing chorus by Burton on vocals.
• 7. Mudshovel by Staind
  The most revealing and pure song of the 90s, Mudshovel is perfect musically, vocally, and lyrically. Staind released a monster with this one.

  Another flawless Tool track. An all time favorite of mine.
• 5. Enter Sandman by Metallica
  Metallica's best tune from the 90s and an instant classic. Great chorus and awesome riff.
• 4. November Rain by Guns n Roses
  This is argueably GnR's best song ever. Definitely a highlight of the early 90s.
• 3. Rooster by Alice in Chains
  Unforgettable lyrics and vocals. This song is just brilliant in every way.
• 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
  Not much to say. You know why this song is up here.
• 1. Forty six and Two by Tool
  Everything about this song is perfect.

• 10. Hold On by Wilson Phillps
  Whenever this song played you sung it like you meant it !
• 9. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
  I don't think I have to explain cause yall already know how big and why this song worked with us all !
• 8. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
  This song stands alone for itself of why it's named one of the best song's from the 90's. You listen to this song one time and you're hooked. From the gutiar strings to the voice behind the song all was done PERFECTLY !
• 7. The Rain by Missy Elliot
  This was type of music that was new to us all when it came out and it became big both for fans and Missy herself. The beat made you want to dance weird, you wanted to rap along with the song cause it sounded oddly cool and you wanted to watch the video over and over again to see Missy's lips pop out of the screen(lol). Supa Dupa Fly, I'm Supa Dupa Fly .
• 6. You Ought Know by Alanis Morissette
  Two words explain this song, GIRL POWER !
• 5. Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
  I think this song spoke to alot of people on a personal level for various of reason's and I would like to keep them Confidental, but I'm sure many of yall can remember the many rumors that was behing this song in the 90's, so I'm sure yall know why many were so depressed in those days. Just Kidding, lol !
• 4. The Power of Love by Celine Dion
  This is a tear-jerker song of somebody ready to know what true love feels and is and the chords in this song from Celine Dion is breath taking.
• 3. Don't Speak by No Doubt
  It's a break-up song and pretty brutal but all in all one of No Doubt's most memorable song's and one I'm fond of !
• 2. Keep Ur Head Up ! by 2 Pac
  This song became popular pretty fast for its lyrics and may I say that this song from 2 Pac is one that ppl took seriously for very good reason's. RIP 2PAC
• 1. No Rain by Blind Melon
  It's a soothing song to listen to with a great voice behind it and became addictive after listening to it for awhile. Lets just put it down like this, it was the best song from the 90's, it was a song everybody was into and everyone knew the words, sung the song and tapping their feet at the sametime. A good ole song and one that everyone should have in their c.d collection ! God Bless Blind Melon Forever !

Other Artists I believe who should be on this list but not is Aaliyah, Monica, Brandy, The Fugees, Beastie Boys and countless others and I know yall can agree with me when I say Nirvana. Nirvana was for real and boy did we love it. RIP Kurt Cobain. Oh and I can't forget " Wanna Be Lover " from LaBouche and sadly saying Hanson too. Ok, I'm done, Bye !
