      What can I say? It's a great song.
    • 6. Unforgiven by Metallica
      I was hooked on this song for the entire decade.
    • 5. Wonderwall by Oasis
      I think it's an amazing song and beautiful as well.

      Very touching and real.

    • 10. Ice, Ice baby by Vanilla Ice
      Rap icon, he is the perfect ice man. Way to go ice. He made some money for the white man.
    • 9. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
      What happened to this band, I love them!
    • 8. Boombastic by Shaggy
      Love the sound, shaggy you rule.
    • 7. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      Their old stuff is best but Enter sandman was the last of a dying breed. Thanks for the music Metallica may your band rest in piece. 1982 - 1992, Love Jason Newstead. Rocks.....
    • 6. Garth Brooks by Thunder Rolls
      Garth Brooks, so many songs but not enough spaces.... I gave my best perception of the man.
    • 5. Come Undone by Duran Duran
      Great song, took me back to the 80's and I remember Duran Duran was one of the best groups of the era.
    • 4. I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. by Aerosmith
      What I have to explain this one?
    • 3. Big Guns by AC/DC
      A list without AC/DC just is not a list.
    • 2. Angry Again by Megadeath
      Kick some butt now, take names later.
    • 1. Black by Pearl Jam
      Man come on, listen to it with a set of D9 Cerwin Vega speakers and Kenwood 400 Watt per channel amp and try to tell me you won't come away with the same conclusion.

    90's music for the most part sucked, but here are a few of my nuggets of information. If we were rating the 80's the list would be a hell of a lot more robust.

    • 10. Whatever by Oasis
      Just started to really listeining to Oasis again, beautifully writen.
    • 9. Name by Goo Goo Dolls
      Amazing Song.
    • 8. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
      Very dark, and moving.
    • 7. Better Man by Pearl Jam
      Pearl Jam's best song. It's weird hearing this song being played on variety stations.
    • 6. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
      The stairway to Heaven of Heavy metal. Guns N' Roses last stand before they imploded.
    • 5. Shimmer by Feul
      Reeks of ninties alternative rock, even if it was a couple years after kurt cobain's death.
    • 4. Soul To Squeeze by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      A lesser known song outside of alternative rock radio
    • 3. High and Dry by Radiohead
      Simple, acoustic, and amazing. Radiohead before they started to become really abstact. also recomend fake plastic trees (any live version)
    • 2. Wonderwall by Oasis
      Amazing song, even after almost ten years after its release.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      This is pretty much a given, since nirvana oficially killed off any major crap rock band from the eighties.

    When I rate bands and songs of the 90's, I prefer to include bands that really went out with the ninties. whether they broke up, imploded, or have not been able to achieve the same success as they did during that decade.
