What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?
By: Jeff
- 10. Something Good by Utah Saints
A seemless merging of rock, techno, and industrial. The greatest one-hit wonder of the '90s.
- 9. Let Me In by R.e.m.
One of the most ethereal songs I've heard. My favourite R.E.M. song.
- 8. Creep by Radiohead
One of the best angst-ridden songs.
- 7. Thirty-three And A Third by Smashing Pumpkins
Probably the only Pumpkins song that can be described as "beautiful".
- 6. In Bloom by Nirvana
My favourite song by the most groudbreaking band of the '90s.
- 5. Karma Police by Radiohead
Yep, another Radiohead song.
- 4. Sober by Tool
The video for this song is one of the creepiest, and most imaginative, videos I've ever seen. The song is even better.
- 3. Just by Radiohead
The best song off "The Bends".
- 2. Airbag by Radiohead
A great song by a great band.
- 1. Stinkfist by Tool
One of the best progressive metal songs of all time from the best rock album of the '90s, "Aenima".
My taste in '90s music may seem narrow, but my three favourite bands from that decade are Tool, Radiohead, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Unfortunately, being only a top 10 list, I couldn't include other great '90s songs by artists such as Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, NIN, Soundgarden, RATM, R.E.M., Beastie Boys, 311, etc., etc.

By: Matix
- 10. Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
a fast-paced, tounge tying anthem that has intelligent lyrics and plenty of replay value. Great if you want a song stuck in your head.
- 9. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
a great storytelling of a young boy dealing with pain. Extremely good video as well.
- 8. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
a band that really is like none other. Trent Reznor's masterpiece of vile lyrics and thumping rythyms blows into another level of musical genius.
- 7. Enter Sandman by Metallica
A great cd that starts off with a great song and a great intro that seems like its going to cut your head off and spit in your neck and makes you wanna do it too.
- 6. Good Riddance (time Of Your Life) by Green Day
a band that has hit it big with so many fast paced facebusters made this melodic little tune that played at every prom. If Smells Like Teen Spirit is not the theme of the 90's,this is.
- 5. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
one of those songs you hear on the radio and can't help but sing every word too. Some great oddball lyrics to go along with a great melody.
- 4. Lithium by Nirvana
Though Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most influential song of the 90's i believe that this is their masterpiece. lyrics are about having feeling about having no feelings.
- 3. Everlong by Foo Fighters
I still to this day have not heard anything that sounds like or approaches the sound of this classic.
- 2. Losing My Religion by R.e.m
an extremely powerful song that takes you on an emotional slow drive to near intoxication. Great video as well.
- 1. Creep by Radiohead
a slow tune that really kicks you in the ass, when your done as you say "whoa" some of the most simplisticly powerful lyrics of the 90's
