    • 1. Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry
      C'mon, who DIDN'T like this song?!


    By: Dan
    • 10. Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy
      First off the video has full frontal nudity and lesbian action--how could you not love that. Also, it glorifies hard drugs (including shooting up and puking in a public toilet),prostitution, and driving under the influence. Plus bitches get smacked up(don't get angry, they were asking for it). And they say not to blame music for the children's behavior. The song was also used to great effect in the film Permanent Midnight.
    • 9. Mach 5 by Presidents Of The Usa
      Speed Racer good. Song good.
    • 8. 1-800-suicide by Gravediggaz
      Hard to choose a favorite track from Gravediggaz Six Feet Deep LP. So damn good. Cum in yr pants good.
    • 7. No Association by Silverchair
      I didn't even like Silverchair until I read an article in RS about a sexually-confused teenager who killed his family and then listened to "Israel's Son" on his Walkman while kicking their corpses. This is the only song that really lived up to my expectations.
    • 6. Sensi by Long Beach Dub All-stars F/ Tippa Irie
      Me boy from Trinidad give dis love.
    • 5. Crane Fist by Rancid
      Rancid is the only band I can think of whose ska don't sound overblown and commercial. Life Won't Wait is probably their best album to date although I haven't heard the latest in its entirety.
    • 4. Dirty Boots by Sonic Youth
      The most listenable track from their breakthrough record.
    • 3. Drain You by Nirvana
      Every Puddle of Mudd song wishes it were this good.
    • 2. Aneurysm by Nirvana
      My personal favorite (tied with the next song) from my favorite band. Your subsequent loss of hearing will be worth it.
    • 1. Only You (remix) by 112 W/ Biggie, Mase, Puffy
      A good song to drive home drunk to after you break up with someone.


    By: Justin Baker
    • 10. Back In The Day (puff) by Erykah Badu
      puff puff puff puff puff puff
    • 9. Caught Out There by Kelis
      When you are angry, listen to this and everything will be good
    • 8. Flower by Liz Phair
      uhmm, yeah, sex never sounded so good
    • 7. Then You Kissed Me by The Cardigans
      whoa
    • 6. Drowned World/ Substitue For Love by Madonna
      The pitfalls of idolizing the wrong things
    • 5. Work It by Missy Elliot
      Uhmmmm... I can not count how many times I have been drunk & sing this.....
    • 4. This Is Love by Pj Harvey
      It is what the title says, listen it and you will believe in love again
    • 3. I Know by Fiona Apple
      poignant, chilling account of lost love
    • 2. I Shall Believe by Sheryl Crow
      The most saddest song ever, and the best...
    • 1. You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
      This is the quintessential song of my life.

    Love them, live them, listen to them....

    • 9. Lake of Fire by Nirvana

      Hard to pick just one song... pulled one out of a hat from the likes of Head Like a Hole, Something I Can Never Have, The Perfect Drug, Closer, Hurt, etc...
    • 9. The Ground Beneath her Feet by U2
      Surprisingly you can eventually get sick of the U2 classics... but I can listen to this song over and over and over again. I think it came out in early 2000 though, not sure.
    • 8. Nobody Does it Better by Radiohead
      This is the sexiest song that was ever written!!!
    • 7. My Hero by Foo Fighters
      One of my favourites from the foo fighters...
    • 6. Breathe by Prodigy
      So many great songs by Prodigy, each one original. I'm a big fan of the song Diesel Power and Out of Space as well.
    • 5. The Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana
      Could've picked many Nirvana songs, but for some reason this one stands out.
    • 4. TIE: "Nothing Else Matters" and "November Rain" by Metallica and GNR
      Impossible to leave these 2 songs off the list. Many Other Metallica songs that should be here, such as Enter Sandman.
    • 3. Schism by Tool
      An awesome song!
    • 2. I Remember by Stabbing Westward
      Beautiful song! Out of all the bands i've seen live (over 100) their performance was by far the best.
    • 1. TIE: "Disarm" and "Today" by The Smashing Pumpkins
      One of the greatest bands of all time! So many great songs, I could fill up this whole list with Pumpkins. Corgan is one of the most musically gifted and diverse person out there.

    Hard to choose just 10. Had to leave off hits from Weezer, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, Pernice Brothers, Powerman 5000, etc. Let me know what you think of my picks, zzboomzz@hotmail.com
