A slow sad country tune about joining a punk band

Because you can't fight the Seether...
By: Justin Tepe

- 9. Insane In the Brain by Cypress Hill
good song good view on the culture aren't we all a lil insane?
- 8. Fuck Da Police by NWA
probable not in the 90s but what the hell great song
- 7. Family Reunion by BLink-182
shit piss fuck cunt cock sucker mother fucker tits fart turd and twat (great lyrics)
- 6. Kick out the Jams by Rage Against The Machine
I actually wanted to put the original down by MC5 but i remember it is the 90s so i had to compinsate

- 1. Bulls on Parade by Rage against the machine
Great song so powerful
By: Dialan
- 10. Wonderful by Everclear
As a kid, I knew that everything was not going to be wonderful, but i could always dream. This song captures my mindset perfectly.
- 9. Black by Pearl Jam
The greatest love song ever written. It is a rock ballad, yet this one actually makes sense.
- 8. Every Breath You Take (Ghetto Version) by Puff Daddy
A beautiful variation on a great song, i recently lost a friend to cancer, and i pray he is watching me every step i take.
- 7. Adam's Song by Blink 182
A song, not promoting teenage suicide, but explaining it. This song recieved much contreversey, but shows the troubled teen is not always the one in the black trenchcoat. It is an apologetic suicide note.
- 6. Rosarito/ Santeria by Long Beach Dub All Stars/ Sublime
Two perfect songs from the long beach reggae early ska scene. They are similar bands, with LBDAS lacking a key ingredient.
- 5. Smell Like Teen Spirit/ Popular by Nirvana/ Nada Surf
These songs so perfectly capture the essence of high school, and teenage popularity, in a time when everyone doesn't "fit in." nor do they want to.
- 4. Faith by Limp Bizkit
Just a good song. It is a cover, but this is one of those legendary rock songs that will be put on those repetitive top of the 90's teenie bop shit singles.
- 3. Heartspark Dollarsign by Everclear
A personal issue for me, this song faces a post-emancipation problem which still plagues our society.
- 2. Santa Monica by Everclear
The greatest song by one of my favorite bands. It talks about running away from your problems and living happily ever after.
- 1. Good Riddance by Green Day
This still reminds me of my graduation, and all the friends and good times i will miss. It truly was a leap for mainly punk Green Day.
By: Jonathan Hay

By: James USM
- 10. Zoot Suit Riot by Cherry Poppin Daddies
Who's your Daddy? Yes I am.
- 9. Push the little Daisies by Ween
The song that everyone loved to be annoyed by.
- 8. Where's me jumper? by Sultans of Ping FC
A mostly unknown English group, this was their one song that achieved commerical success (they much more material then just this). Weird but fun.
- 7. Seether by Veruca Salt
Cool girl rock song.
- 6. Teenage Guide to Popularity by Nadasurf
A few people have mentioned it before. Its a pretty accurate song =)
- 5. Don't Call Me Dude by Scatterbrain
C'mon haven't we all wanted to strangle the 'Yo Dude' people out there?
- 4. There she goes by Sixpence none the richer
Never fails to make visions of a certain someone race through my head..
- 3. Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil
Absolutely beautiful and haunting.
- 2. If I could talk I'd tell you by Lemonheads
- 1. What do you year in these sounds? by Dar Williams
'Folk' doesnt mean Dylan. If you don't know who Dar is, think kinda (but only kinda) like Ani DiFranco but less bitter sounding and in my opinion a more pleasant voice. If you don't know who Ani is, seek help.
Theres the usual rock stuff like Green Day/Beck that gets honourable mentions, but you've seen them too many times on other lists already.

Can't talk about the 90's without this one. Had an incident with this song in a redneck bar while I was in college that I'll never forget. Come on, you know it makes you smile.
- 9. Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root
Just makes me happy.
- 8. No Rain by Blind Melon

- 4. Lover You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley
Jeff Buckley, 'nuff said.
- 3. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morisette
We've all been there.
- 2. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
OK, Teen Spirit was bigger, but this one was it for me. Still can't hear it without screaming "Hey, wait..." at the top of my lungs.
- 1. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Not my favorite PJ song but you can't deny it's a great song with a powerful message.
There have to be a million great ones that I missed. These just really stood out. Too bad there isn't this much good music now. Or, maybe there is and we just don't get to hear it.
