What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Matusitz, Jonathan
- 10. Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
A one-hit-wonder, alas, but the creator of a masterpiece that will forever stay in my memory.
- 9. Ordinary World by Duran Duran
"But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world..." Remember that song? How can you not rank it in your top 10 favorites of the 90's!
- 8. Can't Help Falling in Love by UB40
It was #1 for seven weeks in the US! Of course, what do you expect! This remake of an Elvis song by a reggae/synth-pop group is superb.
- 7. Losing My Religion by REM
One of the best video clips ever! And awesome guitars!
- 6. One by U2
It is a song of love, peace, and hope. Plus, you've got Bono unmatchable rock'n'roll vocals...
- 5. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
When it first came out (in 1995), I did not pay attention to it. Progressively, however, I listened to it, watched the video, and started loving it. Now it's #5 on my list!
- 4. Go West by Pet Shop Boys
It is remake of an 80's song! So what! As long as I like it...
- 3. Wind of Change by The Scorpions
This song, released in 1991, epitomizes freedom, hope, and the end of communism and totalitarianism. If you like John Lennon, then go download this song.
- 2. Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode
The great lyrics, the great synthesizers, and the great beat perfectly match David Gahan's gothic voice. The video clip was awesome too!
- 1. Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve
The string of violins of this synth-pop British song touches my heart and soul. I never get tired listening to it. That's the reason I rank it #1.
I really like the 1990's (maybe not as much as the 1980's), but I think that other songs like "Sacrifice" by Elton John, "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)" by Bryan Adams, "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum, "Nothing Compares 2U" by Sinead O'Connor, and "Senza Una Donna" by Zucchero and Paul Young are far much better than the songs that we hear today.

By: Thor
- 10. No Rain by Blind Melon
Shannon Hoon earnstly wishes for the most optimistic view of the world as only someone jaded by it can.
- 9. Wonderwall by Oasis
What can be more endearing than rock's most ego-maniacal lead singer to plead that he needs someone else to complete him?
- 8. Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
Sans Prince, rock's first ethnic minority since Hendrix to electrify a guitar with seething chords on this instant rock anthem.
- 7. Violet by Hole
The pain & anger on display is eerry considering it was recorded months before rocks greatest tragedy; or was this partly contributable to April 1994?
- 6. Sister by The Nixons
Without becoming sappy, this ode to all sisters further illustrates rock can only be lasting with substance in the lyrics- something unfamilar to fred durst.
- 5. I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters
Is this the direction Nirvana would have taken? Dave Grohl honorably carries the torch of great hard rock from grunge to pop to post rap-metal to the return of rock
- 4. Machine Head by Bush
Incendiary intro blazes into one of the most recognizable riffs of 90's rock cementing Bush as one of the top bands of the era
- 3. Naveed by Our Lady Peace
Absolutly the best thing Canada has produced since hockey, Raine Maida's booming chorus of soul searching is unnerving as to how close it hits home.
- 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
If Nirvana ushered in grunge, Pearl Jam was the solidifying force that helped alter the face of rock music. Intelligent, introspective lyrics make Jeremy the face for many aspiring mid- 90's artists.
- 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
unequivocally the most important song in rock music since I Want to Hold Your Hand was released, this was the song that saved music from porous lyrics, spandex, large hair, & David Lee Roth. The most influential song in recent memory not because of cognitive songwriting that was more accurate of teenage emotions than anything Poison ever created, Smells Like Teen Spirit was the most important song of the 90's because of the societal shift it had on one the largest emerging demographs since the end of the Baby-Boom generation. Fluffy, sugar-coated songs would no longer be tolerated as long as Kurt Cobain stood behind the microphone, voice to & of a generation.
