By: Myke Anderson

10. It's All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion
Ah, mais elle est LA Diva des annees 1990-2000, et elle continue! Canada's songbird for the 21st century, and with good reason.
9. Can't Touch This by MC Hammer
Puffy pants! Puffy pants!
8. Saturday People by Prozzak
A rave song... about ravers. And an excellent one at that. Love 'em, hate 'em, whatever, they were a key part of the music scene in the mid-late 1990s, and still influence our music today.
7. Waterfalls by TLC
Excellent music, pretty singers, a groundbreaking video, AND a social conscience... Come on, people!
6. Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
This Aussie soap star can also sing, as she proved to the world with this impossible-to-ignore single.
5. Tubthumpin' by Chumbawamba
I get knocked down... But I get up again... You're never gonna keep me down... Ah, to be drunk and Irish.
4. Don't Speak by No Doubt
I have to justify this pick? Garsh. Uh. Tragic Kingdom was a defining album of the 90s, and this was the track that stood out in everyone's mind, hands down. It's still played on "new pop" radio today. That has to count for something.
3. Killing me Softly by The Fugees
Soul is back, and she is strong, sistah!
2. Viva Forever by The Spice Girls
Even if you HATED them, they were a definite part of 90s culture, and deserve their footnote.
1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Come on, guys... The song that stood up, mooned society, and said "Grunge has Landed!" has to figure somewhere on the list.

Honourable Mentions: "Jump, Jive & Wail" (Brian Setzer Orchestra) Swing, daddy cat, swing. "Macarena" (Those Latino guys) Yeah, it's universally loathed, but find me a single person over the age of 5 who hasn't done it at least ONCE. "Stay" (Lisa Loeb) The first independantly-produced and distributed single to hit number 1 since the 1950s, and that's gotta count for something.

10. How The Gods Kill by Danzig

9. Suicide Machine by No Fun At All

8. Everready by H2o

7. American Jesus by Bad Religion

6. Maxwell Murder by Rancid

5. Crack In The Egg by Gwar

4. Justification by Against All Authority

3. Mother by Danzig

2. She's Gone by Nofx

1. Sky Scraper by Bad Religion

By: Richie

10. Alive by Pearl Jam
It took me about six years to figure out what the guy was singing in the verses of this song but its the wierdly joyous chorus line of 'I'm still alive' that made this song a winner.
9. Encore Une Fois by Sash
Sash made some pretty good songs before people figured out that he was a one trick pony. Encore Une Fois was one of the better ones.
8. Wicked Game by Chris Isaac
A brilliant song from somebody that seemed to fade into obscurity. Shame. The David Lynch video for the song was pretty good too.
7. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Marilyn Manson
This song was probably most peoples introduction to Marilyn Manson, it's a little simple but a good version of a good song.
6. Higher States Of Consciousness by Josh Wink
"Bow Bow Bada-Bada Ba-Bow" Josh Wink took a simple sample, made a simple song and made what every pill-popper wanted to hear. An electric melody getting higher and higher pitched as the song goes on. Simple but effective.
5. No Good (Start The Dance) by The Prodigy
An excelent fast and aggressive dance track with an unforgetable tune and hectic drums.
4. Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
I'm not a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan but Under The Bridge is one of the best songs ever written.
3. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
This song did more to secure Metallica's position as a serious act as apposed to just another heavy metal band than anything else they did before or after.
2. Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen
Even if you hated dance music (which I did when this was originally released) you couldn't stop that "e's are good" line from echoing around your head for hours on end.
1. Up And Down by The Vengaboys
A perfect recipe for success in the nineties: a cheesy dance riff, simple drums, repetitive sampled voices and two attractive dancing girls in the video. Perfect!

This list is in no particular order and there's heaps of songs I'd live to have included but I guess that's the nature of a top ten.
