    • 9. What It's Like by Everlast
      Listen and weep. Tons of soul was put in this one.
    • 8. Everybody by Backstreet Boys
      Again, say what you will...but it got millions of 12 year old girls to scream out for boy bands.
    • 7. Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
      Okay, okay...say what you will...she DID get pop back into the limelight.
    • 6. Cali Love by 2pac

      This song is haunting, real, soulful, and definitely something I can sympathize with. Beautiful.
    • 3. Where It's At by Beck
      These guys are incredibly quirky, but have a funky vibe all their own. They border on just plain terrible, but come out as geniuses in their own right.
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      C'mon...it's Nirvana, those guys defined a whole lot of things, and though they have a lot of songs I like better, this one defined them...
    • 1. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      Actually, this whole album was, is, and probably will be for a very long time, my favorite album; but it, of course, is spearheaded by Bittersweet Symphony.

    The 90's was a mixed bag with some great stuff, some terrible stuff, and a ton of mediochre stuff...but hey, there's my top 10 quality songs of the 90's.
