    • 10. MMMBop by Hanson
      You cant talk about 90s hits without mentioning this song. I dont really like it anymore but its undoubtedly one of the best songs of the 90s .. I used to love it, i was 7 when it came out
    • 9. MMM, MMM, MMM by Crash Test Dummies
      I'm probably the only person in the world who'd put this on this kinda list, but i think this song is so so great. It's so random and fun to listen to and sing. It was a huge hit of the 90s
    • 8. Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day
      Whenever I hear this song I think about the past and all the good times and it just gives me a good feeling. I love this song and everyone I know does too.
    • 7. Creep by Radiohead
      This song gives me the chills, you have to love this song

      Whats NOT to like about this song? Its so kick ass. I love singing this song it makes me feel so strong lol
    • 5. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
      Chris Cornell has one of the greatest voices out there and he definately proves it with this song!
    • 4. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
      Great mix of the orchestra and hard rock, who can't like it? Like when you think its ending, then the guitar solo starts, oh so awesome
    • 3. Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band
      This song has everything. Dave Matthews's voice is so cool and soothing, plus the lyrics are greatly written
    • 2. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Probably the best song ever screamed. lol It's just amazing
    • 1. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Awesome, awesome song. Gotta listen to it at least 2 times in a row. No doubt, Pearl Jam is the best band of the early 90s, and one of the best ever.

    all the horrible boy bands of the late 90s that made way for actual good music in the 21st century. other awesome bands that need to be praised: the faint, save ferris, real big fish, rob zombie, nine inch nails, goo goo dolls, mariah carey, fiona apple, stone temple pilots, and bob dylan for bringing his georgeous song jacob into the world with the voice of a saint.

      Gotta have a little Nirvana.
    • 7. Say Hello 2 Heaven by Temple Of The Dog

      Scott Weiland just kicks ass and they did a great job on that album.

      Sad but great song.
    • 1. Garden by Pearl Jam
      Everything Pearl Jam does is great and no one will ever forget TEN. Eddie Vedder just rocks, and one day I will have him! :D

    Mazzy Star-Fade Into You, Bush-Comedown, Goo Goo Dolls-Name, No Doubt-Don't Speak, 4 Non Blondes-Dear Mr. President. There were just so many good ones in the early 90's. I could go on forever...... Lots of different genres, but alternative has always been my fav.

    • 3. Blindfold by Morcheeba
      Skye's voice is truly unique!
    • 2. Part Of Your World by The Little Mermaid
      This song sung in the Disney cartoon by princess Ariel expresses her curiosity and desire of discovery.
    • 1. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
      The words I needed to hear! I've spent years hiding myself thinking I was too ugly to be alive. That's such a stupid attitude! Everyone should listen to this strong song and feel better.
