    • 10. Nearly Lost You by Screaming Trees
    • 9. Everlong by Foo Fighters
    • 8. Valvonauta by Verdena

    By: Sonic Boom
    • 10. Pump It Up Now by Cool C
    • 9. What If by Creed
    • 8. When I Come Around by Green Day
    • 7. Got Myself Together by The Bucketheads
      When I first heard this song on the soundtrack to the american Mega Man cartoon, I THOUGHT IT WAS A SONG FROM THE 70S!!! I didn't know that it used samples of another song, because back then, I didn't know what sampling was. Anyway, this song came out in 1995, but it has an authentic 70s sound to it! People who don't know what sampling is, and who here this for the first time might think all the vocals and instruments are live (just like I did when I first heard it)
    • 6. Nuthin' But A "G" Thang by Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg
    • 5. Machinehead by Bush
    • 4. Here In My Heart by Chicago
    • 3. As Always I Remain by Night Ranger
    • 2. Sinnerman by Extra Fancy
    • 1. Take Cover by Mr. Big
      Mr. Big could've been the next Bon Jovi!!! They were popular in other parts of the world (in particular:Japan), but they aren't exactly well known in the USA.

    • 10. Song 2 by Blur
      Who didn't rock to this song alone at least once? It's a stadium classic forever.
    • 9. Santa Monica by Everclear
      It's2004 and this song still kicks ass. Really mellow and loose, great to unwind to.
    • 8. The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring
      Definetely The Offspring's best song, and they had a lot of classics during the 90s.
    • 7. Faith by Limp Bizkit
      Brought Limp Bizkit onto the scene by storm. Possibly the best cover song of all time, along with Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss," and Marilyn Manson's "Highway to Hell."
    • 6. My Hero by Foo Fighters
      If this song doesn't get you pumped up your strange. Such a powerful song. Definetely the Foo's biggest.
    • 5. Dammit by Blink 182
      It's the first hit by possibly the biggest punk band of the late 90s, Blink helped keep punk alive.
    • 4. Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks
      Who says a country song can't be a hit? Garth was HUGE during the mid-90s, and this is the song that did it for him.
    • 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Pearl Jam may have been the biggest band of the 90s if all their songs would've been as good and touching as "Jeremy"
    • 2. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day
      Green Day kept the punk scene alive during the '90s and this was their biggest hit and still is to this day. "When I Come Around" and "Basket Case" could've been anywhere on this Top 10 as well.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Simple Choice...This song changed the whole direction that Hair Metal/80s pop was bringing into the 90s, possibly no song in the history of music could've had as big of a long-term impact as this classic. Sorry Elvis and The Beatles

    Honorable Mentions: Nirvana "Come As You Are", Pearl Jam "Last Kiss", Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under The Bridge", Green Day "When I Come Around" and Oasis "Champagne Supernova"
