    • 10. Everlong / I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters
      GROHL IS GOD!The Foos are so insane and I just couldn't chose between these two songs. I'll Stick Around proved to the world that Dave was no singing Ringo and Everlong, the amazing song it is, showed everyone that the Foos were not just some Nirvana money making scheme.
    • 9. Bitter Sweet Sympathy by The Verve
      I love how the worlds of rock and classical music come together, its just great and those violins.
    • 8. Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chillie Peppers
      The best song by this great band.
    • 7. Song 2 by Blur
      What a song! Such energy, its just so awesome.
    • 6. Miss World by Hole
      Like Mr. Vedder, I am not the biggest Mrs. Love Cobain fan either. This song however is devine and is the best represenation of myself in a song ever.I just clicked with it.
    • 5. Come As You Are by Nirvana
      The haunting bass intro in this song makes it immortal and also the irony behind the line "and I don't have a gun".
    • 4. Kool Thing by Sonic Youth
      Sonic Youth's music still remains awesome even today!
    • 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      This song just represents what the ninties were for me. Nirvana bought alt. music into mainstream and killed hair metal for a good long time,SLTS expanded the minds of genertaion X as it was the anthem.
    • 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      I am not a fan of Mr. Vedder but, this song was so matched to his vocals that it came off so superb that it has stayed with me forver.
    • 1. Heart-shaped Box by Nirvana
      There is just something about this song... I can't put my finger on it but, it just screamed what was built up and hidden inside at the time.Also, the video was haunting with those close ups of Kurt's eyes. The song just makes you wanna jump.

    GROHL IS GOD! Sorry! Well the music of the 90's was the best, the pureness of the rock and grunge. It's such a pitty that most of those music styles have died, but the songs live on forever...... Did I mention that GROHL IS GOD!

    • 10. Stay by Shakespear`s Sister
      Romantic, tragic, beautiful.
    • 9. I`ll Stand By You by Pretenders
      From 70s to 90s, and they are still greate...
    • 8. Mary Jane`s Last Dance by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers
      You must hear this...
    • 7. November Rain by Guns N` Roses
      What can I say, I am just a mortal listener.
    • 6. Losing My Religion by Rem
      Classic...
    • 5. Drugs Dont Work by The Verve
      Havent you had raining mornings, long workdays, when all you want to do is to listen to The Verve and to hear this song again and over again.
    • 4. Thursday`s Child by David Bowie
      First time I heard it, I thought- what a nightmare! But after all- I just can`t forget this song.
    • 3. Wind Of Changes by Scorpions
      Have You ever heard this song originally performed in russian language? Little problems with pronunciation.
    • 2. Runaway Train by Soul Asylum
      Respect- and nothing else.
    • 1. These Are The Days Of Our Lives by Queen
      In the 1991, this song was magnificent conclusion for Queen- greatest band ever made- with all four members together. (Only the good die young).

    Please, whenever you read this, don`t take it serious. It is only just the way I think. P.S. And it is 02:18 AM when I am writing this. Thank you for any attention my list had. Odria.

    The 90's were a great time in music... although there were the usual boring "artists" (Mariah Carey, e.g.), it was a time of real growth and change in 'real' music
